The Eucharistic Procession will take place on:

Sunday 22 June 2025

This year marks 99 years since it began with the first Procession in the Cork city streets taking place on 6 June 1926 where tens of thousands of people participated. 

The idea of taking the Procession through the streets of Cork emerged in the years after the War of Independence and the Civil War in a bid to heal division.

The Procession will commence at 3pm from the Cathedral of Saint Mary and Saint Anne. A number of additions have been made to the Procession this year.

To facilitate the increasing numbers taking part each year, the liturgy and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will take place on a specifically erected stage and altar on the Grand Parade.

Music is a big part of the procession so we have invited the choirs and music groups from the parishes in the city and beyond to participate. The procession will be led by the Butter Exchange band.

Altars of repose

There will be a special walking Jubilee Year Pilgrimage to seven Cork City Churches on Holy Thursday Evening 17 April led by Bishop Fintan

This will begin after the 7.30pm Mass of the Lord’s Supper in The Cathedral with a brief period of adoration at the altar of repose.

The pilgrim walk will then proceed to St Mary's on Pope’s Quay, Holy Trinity on Fr. Mathew Quay, St. Finbarr’s South on Dunbar St., St Augustine's on Washington Street, St Francis Church on Liberty Street and on to Ss Peter and Paul's. The pilgrimage will finish with Night Prayer at 10pm. 

People are also welcome to make their own pilgrimage starting at any of the churches on the pilgrim route. 

This is a special way to mark the Jubilee year and as part of this there will be a plenary indulgence granted to those who participate in the Night Prayer in Ss Peter and Paul's at 10pm, whilst meeting the necessary conditions.

These are that a person go to Confession, receive Holy Communion, perform an act of charity and pray for the Pope’s intentions. The indulgence can be applied to the souls in Purgatory.
