Ignite Ireland – Embers into Flames

The ‘Ignite Ireland – Embers into Flames’ Conference took place on Saturday, 23rd May 2026, in the Dublin Convention Centre – the day before Pentecost Sunday. The keynote speaker was Scott Hahn – a world-renowned Catholic theologian, author and speaker. Other speakers included Maura Murphy, Mike Shortt and Fr Patrick Cahill. The principal celebrant at Holy Mass, celebrated in the venue’s auditorium, was Bishop Fintan Gavin.

Teams of Our Lady was invited, along with 25 other groups, to have a stand in the Exhibition Centre during the day-long event – which attracted many of the almost 1,000 people who attended the conference. As frequently happens, we found that many people visiting the stand had never heard of Teams of Our Lady – making the Teams’ presence there all the more important.

The photos include Austin and Anna, Team 37, who volunteered at the Teams’ stand during the day; and Anne and Mark who had a photo taken with Scott and Kimberly Hahn during the signing  of books.
