An Leabhar Aifrinn



The publication of An Leabhar Aifrinn is near completion and will be available for worship in the Autumn.  It is hoped that the new edition of An Leabhar Aifrinn will maintain the Irish Language as a living language of prayer both in the Gaeltacht and outside the Gaeltacht for years to come.  Its publication is particularly significant not only for the Catholic Church in Ireland but also for all who value our Irish language heritage.
