Bishop of Cork and Ross invites people to respond to Church changes with a time of prayer, listening and discernment
On a weekend when heavy rain and winds had blown across his diocese, it seems more than coincidence that a new pastoral message from the Bishop of Cork and Ross should begin with a scripture quote: “Even the wind and the seas obey Him”.
Bishop Fintan Gavin read his message on Sunday to pilgrims attending the annual Mass at St. Finbarr’s Oratory, Gougane Barra.
Bishop Fintan’s message is a call to the people of the diocese to commit to a year-long time of prayer, listening and discernment about the future of the Catholic Church in the parishes and chaplaincies of the diocese.
In a time of unprecedented change in society and the Catholic Church in Ireland, people are understandably concerned about their parish’s future, he said.
Work has begun on the provision of an internal ramp and accessible toilet at the Visitor centre at the Cathedral.
In order to facilitate this work the Cathedral Parish Office has been temporarily relocated across the road to the Presbytery Building. Please use the main entrance to the Presbytery building.
Summer Opening Hours are as follows:
Monday to Wednesday: 8:30am to 4:00pm
Thursday: 8:30am to 2;00pm
Friday: Closed
Commit to one hour a week of Eucharistic Adoration
We are delighted to announce that there is now Eucharistic Adoration seven days a week in Saints Peter and Pauls.
Watch one hour with Jesus
Bishop Fintan, the priests of the parish and members of the Cathedral Choir recently got together to wish Susan Ormond the very best as she retires from her role as Director of Music at the Cathedral. A number of presentations were made to Susan on the night.
Susan, a native of the Cathedral Parish, has a long association with the Cathedral.
We thank Susan for her wonderful contribution to music at the Cathedral over the years and wish her every blessing in the years ahead.
The following is the text of the homily given by Bishop Fintan Gavin at the Church of St Peter's and St Paul's on the occasion of the 98th Cork Eucharistic Procession on May 26th 2024.
