Series on Addiction 1. Radharc AnniversaryThis year marks the 50th anniversary of Radharc Films, a production company which made a wide range of documentaries for RTE on social, political and religious issues. Their legacy has over 400 documentaries spanning 30 years’ work in 75 countries. Miriam Gormally spoke with Fr. Dermod McCarthy, who worked with Radharc and later went on to work as RTE’s religious affairs correspondent. Miriam began by asking him about the purpose of Radharc. This year will have a number of screenings of important Radharc films, including screenings at the IFI and at the upcoming Eucharistic Congress. For more information go to www.radharcfilms.com 2. Mass musicMusic in mass is one of the most sacred aspects of the celebration. Since the new translation of the Missal, there has been a great deal of creativity put into producing music for it. Marie Dunne is one of the few women composers to work on music for the New Missal. She also has the honour of having her mass setting, Mass of Providence, broadcasted by RTE earlier this year from the Sacred Heart Residence, Sybil Hill, Raheny. 3. Michael Hurley Today marks the end of Church week of Unity and is a good time to remember a pivotal figure in this area, Fr. Michael Hurley SJ. He was co-founder of the Irish School of Ecumenics and worked tirelessly on that subject. Rev. Patrick Lawrence spoke with Kenneth Milne, author and educator, about his memories of Michael Hurley. Patrick began by asking Kenneth how important Fr. Michael Hurley was to Church Unity.
4. Addiction SeriesContinuing our addiction series, we have a piece with John Fox, who was himself an addict and now works in the Camino, with Fr. Denis Laverty. Miriam Gormally began by asking him what his role was.
5. Living the Christian LifeWhat are the challenges of being a Christian today and more specifically a Roman Catholic? Miriam Gormally spoke with Colette Furlong, Pastoral Services Manager with the International Eucharistic Congress, about Christianity and Community. They looked at what this means particularly in the current economic crisis and how willing we would be to help our neighbour. Miriam began by putting it to Colette that a literal interpretation of living the Christian Life would be extraordinarily radical.
6. Eucharistic CongressThe 50th International Eucharistic Congress is taking place in Dublin in June. As part of the enormous preparation needed for the event, they will require volunteers from all over the country. Miriam Gormally spoke with Paul Rooney, co-ordinator for volunteers, about how they are recruiting volunteers and how there is continued need to recruit more.
7. Addiction SeriesContinuing our addiction series, we have a piece with Derek Royal, who is in his fourth week with the Camino. He tells Miriam Gormally that were it not for the Camino, he would still be living on the streets taking drugs and stealing whatever he could to finance his habit. 8. Church UnityChurch Unity week this year takes place from 18-25 January. The theme chosen this year by the Christian churches in Poland is from St Paul - "We will be changed by the Victory of our Lord Jesus Christ" and it reflects the suffering, upheavals and significant changes the country has experienced in the last number of decades.
9. Living with DepressionOver 400,000 people in Ireland suffer from Depression at any one time; often unknown to their closest friends and family. Rachel Keirse was first diagnosed with depression in her 30s. Suddenly she didn’t have the desire or motivation to continue with her life as before. Here she talks with Miriam Gormally about how she first began to feel the effects of depression.
