Sycamore Programme - Autumn 2026
This Autumn, we invite you to journey with us as we delve deeper into the Sycamore Programme. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the Programme, Sycamore is a suite of courses on aspects of the Christian Faith and its relevance to our lives today. The focus this Autumn is on the gift of prayer. Whether prayer comes naturally to you or you sometimes find it difficult, this course is for everyone. Together we’ll explore how to begin praying, rediscover the foundations of Christian prayer, and grow in confidence as we learn about the four essential movements of prayer: adoration, repentance, thanksgiving and intercession. Whether you’re taking your first steps in prayer or longing to renew your prayer life, we’d love you to join us.
What happens at SYCAMORE
Each session includes a short film and open discussion. There’s no pressure, just community, friendship, good conversation, and light refreshments. Everyone is welcome and it’s FREE!
Still not convinced?
Don’t take our word for it. Read on to see what participants during the Spring Programme had to say:
One person said, “The Sycamore Program has strengthened my faith. I attended on my own, knew nobody. But was made feel so welcome, and met such beautiful, kind, warm welcoming people. Strongly recommend to everyone.”
Another reflected that “The Sycamore videos encourage spiritual reflection without any hint or sense of pressure. The discussions after each video allow for and facilitate open honest expression of views which support the participants in a communal sense.”
When asked if the Sycamore Course had helped in anyway, one person answered “Greatly – It answered a lot of my questions on basic aspects of faith. Also with the Catechism references it gave me a deeper understanding of Catholic Teachings.”
One particularly touching comment simply said, “It brought me back to church.” While another described the Sycamore Programme as “Liturgy of the Word “in light of the signs of the times”
We hope you can join us and we look forward to welcoming you on Monday 28th September, at 7.15pm – 9pm, in the Pastoral Centre, Dunshaughlin.
