News from the Parishes of Carraig na bhFear ✠ Glanmire ✠ Glounthaune ✠ Watergrasshill & Glenville
Are you considering the Poor Clare vocation or would you like to know more about the enclosed contemplative life of a religious sister?
You are invited to join the Sisters for a:
Vocations Afternoon
Saturday 28 June 2025
2:00pm to 4:00pm
at the Poor Clare Monastery, College Road, Cork

Sunday, June 22nd 3pm
Please join us for the 99th Eucharistic Procession which takes place on Sunday, June 22nd leaving the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne at 3.00pm.
It would be great to continue the tradition of parishioners from parishes throughout the city and beyond to walk in the procession. Parking is available in the grounds of St. Anthony’s Convent, St. Mary’s Road (across from the Cathedral).
This year to accommodate the growing large numbers it was decided to take the final prayer and Benediction outside onto a specially constructed platform down at the end of Grand Parade near the National Monument.

Saturday, June 7th,
on the eve of Pentecost,
you are invited to the Eucharist at 6:00 PM,
and after its conclusion, to a vigil until midnight.
This is a special time of united prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. On this particular evening, we will gather, just like the disciples in the Upper Room, fifty days after the Resurrection of Christ, to experience the power of the Holy Spirit, who sends us to carry the Gospel to the whole world. We cordially invite and encourage participation!
All welcome.
Due to the vigil on the eve of the Pentecost, there will be no worship after the evening mass on the second Saturday of the month.
Glanmire Vigil on the Eve of Pentecost
Carraig an Aifreann, May 25
Mass organised by the local Legion of Mary in Glenville, was celebrated by Fr. Christy and Deacon David Lane at Carraig an Aifreann on Friday evening at 8pm. 100 people attended and prayed for those doing exams. It was a lovely evening in a most beautiful setting.
Prayers were offered for calm and peace for all students and their families and that the students work would be rewarded. Fr. Christy in his homily told the story of St. Joesph of Cupertino which told us that we all have different gifts and that there is a place for everyone. Singing was led by Glenville Church Choir and readings, prayers and reflections by students.
