Jubilee year ends, Trócaire's Seán Farrell, Amy Grant

Sunday Sequence

Available for 29 days

After 12 months and the participation of 30 million people, Pope Leo closed the bronze doors of the St Peter's basilica and the year of Jubilee ended. Elise Ann Allen (Crux) and Michael Kelly (former Irish Catholic editor) discuss what it achieved. Seán Farrell has travelled the world, from Romania to Uganda and to the Phillippines. As the new CEO of the aid agency Trócaire, he is drawing his experiences as a volunteer and a witness to some of the world's most brutal conflicts, famines and poverty. And Audrey Carville has been talking to music sensation Amy Grant ahead of her concert next week in Belfast at the Your ROOTS Are Showing festival. 30 million albums, six Grammy awards, and a career that jumped from singing gospel music to pop in the 1980s. She talks about life, asking questions, music and whether there's a dearth of love in America.
