Last Thursday, a briefing was held for parishes from the city centre and surrounding areas in preparation for the upcoming Eucharistic Procession and its associated events.

Priests and Parish Pastoral Council representatives gathered to hear about the plans for this very special milestone in our Diocese, which will be officially launched next Wednesday, 6th May.

There is a growing sense of excitement as we prepare for this historic celebration in our diocese and city, marking the centenary of the first Eucharistic Procession in Cork on Sunday 7th June.

In preparation for this event, a two-week diocesan mission will take place, accompanied by the visit of the relics of St Carlo Acutis, and 100 hours of Eucharistic Adoration. Together, these will mark a century of walking with the Lord in our city, while also renewing and strengthening our faith for the future.
