Ash Wednesday 18th February 2026

14 February 2026

Ash Wednesday is one of the most popular and important holy days in the liturgical calendar. Ash Wednesday opens Lent, a season of fasting and prayer. It comes from the ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting.

The practice includes the wearing of ashes on the head. The ashes symbolize the dust from which God made us. As the priest applies the ashes to a person's forehead, he speaks the words: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

Alternatively, the priest may speak the words, "Repent and believe in the Gospel." Ashes also symbolize grief, in this case, grief that we have sinned and caused division from God. Writings from the Second-century Church refer to the wearing of ashes as a sign of penance.

Priests administer ashes during Mass and all are invited to accept the ashes as a visible symbol of penance. The ashes are made from blessed palm branches, taken from the previous year's Palm Sunday Mass.

Songs of Praise Celebration

04 February 2026

More than 300 people from parishes of the Diocese of Cork and Ross gathered in the Cathedral of St. Mary and St Anne on St. Brigid’s Day afternoon for a Songs of Praise celebration organised by the Diocese of Cork and Ross.

Choir directors, musicians, cantors, singers and members of the wider faith community came together for an afternoon of prayer and song.

The celebration combined shared learning, communal singing, prayer and reflection, highlighting the role of music in deepening faith and supporting worship.

MC Susan Ormond spoke about music as a means of sharing faith, while Anna Smith reflected on how the Jubilee of Youth in Rome last summer deepened her faith and led to her involvement in music ministry in the Ss Peter and Paul’sYoung Adult Mass held on the second Sunday of each month.

Bishop Fintan described the event as a response to feedback from the Year of Prayer, Listening and Discernment, which expressed a desire for good liturgical music.

He thanked the organising committee, and offered a blessing for those present and thanked them for their ongoing generous commitment to music ministry.
