Bishop Ger Nash Welcomes the Publication of VENITE AD ME

Bishop Ger Nash of the Diocese of Ferns welcomed the publication of Venite ad Me, a document released by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith in the Vatican.

The document addresses the transmission of faith during periods of cultural change. It identifies challenges such as passing on faith within families and the modern search for belonging. Bishop Nash noted that the text emphasizes encountering Jesus Christ as the basis for faith growth and suggests that faith is transmitted through witness, friendship, prayer, and service.

Venite ad Me affirms the value of traditional Catholic expressions and popular piety in preserving Christianity. The document also highlights how art, beauty, and sacred music can draw people closer to the Gospel.
