On Sunday June 22nd, to mark the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, the Blessed Sacrament is taken in procession through the streets after the 11.00am Mass
The church car park will only be available for parking for people with mobility difficulties.
The route for the Procession is: leaving via the Post Office gate, through Kent St, Rossa St, Pearse St, and returning to the church via the Post Office gate.
The congregation will follow the leading Crucifix and candles, followed by families with children who received their First Holy Communion, followed by the Mayoral Council, then the choir which precedes the canopy and the Blessed Sacrament accompanied by altar servers.
When the Procession returns to the church, Benediction with the Blessed Sacrament will be imparted. Refreshments follow in the Parish Centre.
All welcome.

The Eucharistic Procession will take place on:
Sunday 22 June 2025
This year marks 99 years since it began with the first Procession in the Cork city streets taking place on 6 June 1926 where tens of thousands of people participated.
The idea of taking the Procession through the streets of Cork emerged in the years after the War of Independence and the Civil War in a bid to heal division.
The Procession will commence at 3pm from the Cathedral of Saint Mary and Saint Anne. A number of additions have been made to the Procession this year.
To facilitate the increasing numbers taking part each year, the liturgy and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will take place on a specifically erected stage and altar on the Grand Parade.
Music is a big part of the procession so we have invited the choirs and music groups from the parishes in the city and beyond to participate. The procession will be led by the Butter Exchange band.

Everybody welcome

Online Book of Condolence is open
Following the announcement by the Holy See that Pope Francis has ‘returned to the House of the Lord’, Bishop Fintan Gavin invites the people of the Diocese of Cork and Ross to unite in prayer to God at this time.
“I invite the parishioners, priests, deacons and religious of our diocese to join as one with the faithful across the globe as we commend Pope Francis to the Lord.
We give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of Pope Francis as shepherd of the people of God and we thank God for his selfless service and dedication to the end of his earthly life.
We remember Pope Francis as one who challenged us to reach out to those on the margins and to bring God’s mercy to all those we encounter.
We pray together that Pope Francis’ call to all of us to make this Jubilee Year a Year of Hope may be fulfilled.
