Bishop Fintan with Fr. Roman Biletskyy, Fr. Ray Riordan Co-PP and children of the Ukrainian Community

Fr. Roman Biletskyy and the Ukrainian Catholic Community in Cork and Ross invited Bishop Fintan to their celebration of the Feast of St. Nicholas on Sunday 3rd December in the Church of the Incarnation, Frankfield

In Ukraine, St. Nicholas (Mykolai) visits children during the night and brings presents on the 5th/6th December.

The night is often called "Magic Night" or just St. Nicholas Day. From the Feast of St. Nicholas, Ukrainians begin preparing for the Christmas.

The Ukrainian Catholic Community in the Diocese meets for the celebration of Holy Eucharist in Frankfield every Sunday at 1:00pm.
