This year, the Diocese of Cork and Ross invites you to take part in a truly historic moment:
the 100th anniversary of the Eucharistic Procession in Cork on Sunday 7th June
First held in 1926, the Eucharistic Procession was a wish amongst the people for unity, peace and reconciliation after the Civil War and the War of Independence. They asked Bishop Colahan to have a Eucharistic Procession, bringing Jesus in the Eucharist to the streets of our city. This is an opportunity to witness to our faith while being a part of a living tradition and the history of our city.
One hundred years on, we gather as a diocesan family to unite in prayer and thanksgiving, and to honour Jesus in the Eucharist. Gathering at 2:30pm at the Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne, the Procession will begin at 3pm and finish with benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at the Grand Parade.
