Easter Sunday
We wish all our Parishioners and visitors to our Parish, every Blessing at Easter and we pray that we may all come to know the Risen Christ in the core of our being.
Thanks to everyone who participated so willingly in our Holy Week Ceremonies. Thanks to all who prepared the Cathedral, the Altar Society Members, Cathedral Cleaners and Sacristans. A word of gratitude to all Ministers of the Eucharist, Ministers of the Word, Cathedral Ushers, Cathedral Collectors, Knights of Columbanus, those who had their feet washed and to those who brought up the gifts. Finally, to the Cathedral Choir, Children’s Choir, Irish Choir and Patrick Doherty and Choir who always add to our celebration of Mass every weekend, many thanks for your hours of practice and commitment.
WILL YOU NOT SPEND ONE HOUR WITH ME IN ADORATION?
48 Hours of Adoration will begin in St. Eunan’s Cathedral on Wednesday morning (11th April) at 8.30 am and will continue throughout the day and night until Friday morning (13th April) at 10 am. This time of Adoration is in preparation for the 50th Eucharistic Conference in Dublin in June. We invite you to come and spend some time with our Risen Lord. It may be for a short period of time or perhaps for an hour or two.
