On Sunday 31st August the Altar Servers who serve at the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne went on their annual outing, accompanied by Bishop Fintan Gavin, Fr. Sean Crowley, and a number of volunteers from the Cathedral Family of Parishes.

After the 11.30am Mass at the Cathedral the group travelled to Watergrasshill where they enjoyed go-karting or archery.

The group then gathered at the Church of the Immaculate Conception to pray Vespers together. Bishop Fintan addressed the altar servers, thanking them for their service and encouraging them, noting the important role they play at liturgies at the Cathedral.

Bishop Fintan spoke of his own time as an altar server in Dublin and how the formation he received helped him to discern his calling to the priesthood.

Culture Night at St Patrick’s Church  

Frank O'Connor is one of Ireland's literary giants of the 20th century. His short stories are world famous. And one of his best-known stories, "My First Confession" is set in St Patrick's Church. 

Last year the pupils of Scoil Oilibhéir Dublin Hill, performed a specially written musical version of My First Confession as part of the school's 40th anniversary celebrations. 

On Friday Sept 19th, the pupils of Scoil Oilibhéir will perform an abridged version of their show especially set in St Patrick’s. There will be two performances. The first will begin at 5.00pm and finish at 6.00pm. The second performance will begin at 7.00pm.

The performance will be preceded by a short talk on Frank O'Conner and his connections with St Patrick’s Church and surrounding area.

Church of the Annunciation, Blackpool

The planned event at the Church of the Annunciation in Blackpool has had to be deferred due to unforeseen circumstances. We will update you re a future date. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. 

There is a lot of action around the Cathedral Family of Parishes at the moment. 

We were delighted to host Tuath Housing at the North Cathedral Visitor Centre recently for the allocation of thirty seven new homes in Cork City.

If you visit the Cathedral you will notice new wheel stops in the Cathedral Car Park.

In the South Parish there are new tarmac works taking place. 

Down at St Patricks, you will notice the scaffolding in front of the church houses. External repair work is being carried out on these properties. 

The columns in Ss Peter and Paul's are being repaired at present. 

We thank everyone who made this necessary work possible.
