We will remember especially all those who have died during the past year at Masses on:
Thursday 7th November at 7.30pm in Church of the Sacred Heart, Monkstown
Friday 8th November @ 7.30pm in St. Mary's Church, Passage West
"Even the winds and seas obey Him"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.
We aspire to be an inclusive, welcoming, caring, worshipping Christian community in which the values and teachings of Jesus are lived, shared and celebrated
