Raphoe Diocese Pastoral Services CLG

The Raphoe Diocesan Pastoral Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee that provides a welcoming, faith‑inspired hub for individuals, families and communities across the Diocese of Raphoe. Operating under the patronage of Msgr Kevin Gillespie, the centre delivers a broad spectrum of support services and educational programmes designed to promote personal growth, mental wellbeing and spiritual development.

Key offerings include professional counselling for adults and young people (aged 5‑17), family and bereavement care, and specialised “Rainbows” programmes for children coping with loss or separation. In addition, the centre runs pastoral development initiatives, support groups, personal‑development workshops, mental‑health support, and a range of diocesan faith and education programmes. These services are delivered in partnership with Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, the Donegal Education and Training Board, the Department of Social Protection and Donegal County Council.

Based in Letterkenny, County Donegal, the Raphoe Diocesan Pastoral Centre welcomes donations and encourages community input to shape future courses and support programmes, ensuring they meet the real needs of the people they serve.
