The United Dioceses of Cork, Cloyne and Ross will hold over 130 services throughout the 12 Days of Christmas and the days leading up to the Christmas Festival. Announcing the schedule of Services for the Christmas season, the Bishop, Dr Paul Colton said:
Given the disruption of our Christmas celebrations in recent years caused by the Coronavirus Pandemic, I hope that everyone in the Diocese, as well as visitors to our City and County during the holidays, will take the opportunity to reconnect with each other in Church this Christmas, and join us in celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This schedule, from north to south and east to west in our Diocese, offers countless choices and opportunities to do just that throughout the 12 days of Christmas.
I wish everyone a blessed, safe, joyful and peaceful Christmas.
The following list gives details of church services in the parishes and chaplaincies across the diocese. The list is organised by parish/location. If you would like to see a list organised by date/festival please visit our website.
