Visit of the Relics of St. Bernadette to Cork and Clonakilty

11 October 2024

The Relics of St. Bernadette of Lourdes are on pilgrimage in Ireland and will be in the Diocese of Cork and Ross from 30 October to 1 November

St. Bernadette witnessed eighteen apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes in 1858 and countless millions of people have visited Lourdes since.

This visit of St. Bernadette’s relics will afford to the many people who can’t go to Lourdes an opportunity to be close to St. Bernadette and to Our Lady of Lourdes.

People will be able to venerate the relics at the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne, Cork, and at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Clonakilty.

The programme is as follows:

Bishop Fintan calls for a time of prayer, listening and discernment

10 October 2024
"Even the winds and seas obey Him""Even the winds and seas obey Him"

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.

Courtmacsherry Grotto celebrates 70 years

20 September 2024

Courtmacsherry Grotto celebrates 70 years since its opening

One of two grottoes in Barryroe parish, it was dedicated on on 8th September 1954 with a rosary on the feast of Our Lady's nativity organised by Ms Edel Jones.

After a big effort to clean up the grotto by parishioners earlier in the year, led by Ms Teresa Egger, the rosary was prayed in front of Our Lady's image with the decades elaborated by verses of Marian hymns led by Courtmacsherry church choir.

A group of more than seventy attended the public prayer which was followed by a very interesting talk by Ms Margaret O'Dwyer on how the grotto came to be built and opened.

A number of those who had been present in 1954 also attended the recent celebration, including some of the altar boys and a member of the choir.
