Hear the Passion Gospel again this Holy Week
The Passion Gospel is read by the clergy of the Diocese based in the Chapel of Christ the Healer at Cork University Hospital, one of the places at the vortex of our current crisis (so you will hear passing background noice of the hospital doing what it needs to do), and by clergy of the Diocese, reading from their own places of ministry.
