Children attending Catholic primary schools in the Diocese of Cork and Ross have been watching a video Christmas message from Bishop Fintan

The message was set in Kinsale harbour and in schools in Skibbereen.

In Kinsale, Bishop Fintan was speaking from a boat and was accompanied by a local family.

In Skibbereen, children from the boys and girls schools formed a chorus to sing Christmas carols with the bishop and discussed the importance of the birth of Jesus with him.

The video message was relayed to all schools and to each of the classrooms so that every child could see it.
