Archbishop Diarmuid Martin will be the guest speaker at the next meeting of the Irish- German Society of County Wicklow.

The meeting will take place on Monday, February 26 at 7.30 p.m.

‘Dr Martin was a guest of the Diocese of Wurzburg during the Kiliani Fest in July 2017,’ said chairman of the society George Jones.

‘He gave a talk to a general audience in Wurzburg on the topic “The Challenge for the Church in the 21st Century”.

‘So in view of our connection­s with Wurzburg the Committee of the Irish- Ger- man Society are delighted that the Archbishop has accepted our invitation to speak at our next general meeting.’
