Poor Clares Vocations Afternoon - Sat 7 February 2026In responding to this desire, we’re introducing the use of common postures at Mass, as outlined in the Missal, starting on the First Sunday of Advent. It is hoped that this will help make people feel even more welcome and at home in whatever church in our diocese that they attend the celebration of the Eucharist.
We have designed a poster and pew card outlining these postures with a brief explanation of why we stand, kneel and sit at Mass. These simple aids are meant to help our communities worship as one body, united in prayer before the Lord.
Watch the short video of common postures at Mass hereAlongside these printed materials, a short video is also available to help understand the meaning behind the postures at different parts of the celebration of the Eucharist and how they reflect our shared faith.
However, changes in society - some brought by the Covid19 pandemic - have seen some people’s connect with Sunday Mass weakened.
Ireland's Catholic Bishops have launched material in print and online with which they invite people to reflect on the profound importance of Sunday Mass.
Welcoming Why Sunday Matters in a video message, Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildate and Leighlin, said, “As we journey through this Jubilee Year of Hope, the Irish Bishops’ Conference invites everyone to. We recognise it not only as an obligation, but also as a precious gift – the source and summit of our faith.”
