Glounthaune Parish on the Cork and Ross Pilgrimage to Lourdes
September 2025
Fr. Damian O'Mahony and a group of pilgrims from Glounthaune travelled to Lourdes as part of the annual Cork and Ross pilgrimage in September. Here are some photos of their trip.

"As we begin October, the month dedicated to the holy Rosary, I invite you to pray the Rosary every day for peace in our world."
Pope Leo XIV
October is the month of the Rosary. Our Lady of Fatima, in 1917, appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, with an urgent appeal: “Pray the rosary every day to obtain peace in the world and an end to war”
Pope Leo has invited Catholics around the world to pray the Rosary every day during October for peace in war-torn lands.
Glounthaune: the Rosary is recited each weekday morning at 9.40am before the 10am Mass
Watergrasshill: the Rosary is recited before every Mass during October
Glenville: there will be Rosary in the church at 7.30pm every evening during this month.
Glanmire: On each of the Fridays in October, i.e. the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st, you are invited to recite the Rosary in St Joseph’s Church, at 7.30pm. On Tuesday the 7th, the Feast of the Holy Rosary, there will also have Rosary followed by Benediction (at 7.30pm) to mark this wonderful feast.
Carraig na bhFear: The Rosary is recited before the 9.00am weekday Mass on Wednesdays and Fridays
Carraig an Aifrinn, Glenville: every evening at 8.00 pm.
October, Month of the Rosary

We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire; that is why I have chosen as the motto of the Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope.
This will indeed be the case if we are capable of recovering a sense of universal fraternity and refuse to turn a blind eye to the tragedy of rampant poverty that prevents millions of men, women, young people and children from living in a manner worthy of our human dignity. Here I think in particular of the many refugees forced to abandon their native lands. May the voices of the poor be heard throughout this time of preparation for the Jubilee, which is meant to restore access to the fruits of the earth to everyone.
Pope Francis for The Jubilee Year
