Irish Catholic Bishops call people to think again about Sunday Mass

31 August 2025

Gathering as a community on the Lord’s Day to celebrate the Eucharist has always been at the heart of our Church

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.”

Faithful honouring of Our Lady

18 August 2025

As well as being blessed with churches which the people before us have left for worship, our parishes also have a extensive array of places where people have gone to pray for centuries

These include holy wells, grottos to Our Lady, Mass rocks from Penal Times, shrines associated with local saints as well as ruins of former abbeys, friaries and churches where Christians encountered the Lord downthrough the ages.

There are many days throughout the year, especially feast days of saints, when people visit such sacred places. By far the most popular day for liturgical rites at these holy landmarks is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 15th).
