Sunday 26th April

Watergrasshill Church, 5pm to 6pm

The Family of Parishes celebrates Vocations Sunday with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Evening Prayer and Benediction 5pm - 6pm in Watergrasshill Church. All welcome.

"Guided and protected by the Risen Jesus, we celebrate on the fourth Sunday of Easter - also called “Good Shepherd Sunday” - the 63rd World Day of Prayer for Vocations. It is an occasion of grace in which we share some reflections on the interior dimension of vocation, understood as the discovery of God’s free gift that blossoms in the depths of our hearts. Let us explore together the truly beautiful path of life along which the Shepherd guides us."

"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.
