On Wednesday 20th December at 12noon, Bishop Fintan will share his Live Crib Christmas Message with 175 Catholic Primary Schools in Cork and Ross

The message will reach all classrooms in primary schools from Watergrasshill in the east of the Diocese to Muintir Bháire and Cape Clear in the west.

Uniquely this year, Bishop Fintan is preparing his message with a live crib at the O’Leary Family Farm close to Rocky Bay in the Parish of Tracton Abbey. There, he will be joined by Second Class children from Scoil Naomh Fionnán in Rennies.

His message will prayerfully and joyfully remind school communities and parishes of the central truth of the Birth of the Infant Jesus at Christmas.

All primary schools will soon receive links for the Christmas Message which will be uploaded on YouTube and Vimeo in preparation for Wednesday 20th December. This broadcast will also be available on the Cork and Ross Diocesan website and social media from 20th December next.
