As we enter the final stretch of our appeal for St Oliver Plunkett House, we give thanks to God that €467,000 has now been raised toward the €500,000 cost of the presbytery. This leaves just €33,000 remaining on the loan.

Only three years after acquiring our first dedicated house in Ireland, the generous response of so many faithful souls has brought us within striking distance of full ownership.

We turn to you once more with renewed hope and confidence in Divine Providence. Completing this project will free us from debt and enable us to direct all our efforts toward the care of souls.

This is the final call of the appeal. Whether you have supported us before or are considering a gift for the first time, your contribution — large or small — will make a decisive difference.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for all benefactors of the Appeal at 1:30pm on Sunday, 26 July 2026, in St John’s Church, Waterford.

       All Quiet On the Epstein Front?

If paedophilia were made legal, would Jeffrey Epstein still be vilified as an arch-abuser, or hailed in retrospect as a prophet and martyr of the liberal age? – enquires Fr de Malleray, who concludes that legality is only worth its adequation to natural and divine law. 

       God – the Science – the Evidence

This international best-seller (over 400,000 copies sold) is replete with objective arguments in favour of God’s existence, even though it endorses evolution: Anthony Nevard reviews the book.
