Holy Week invites us to walk once again through the central days of the Christian story: from quiet reflection and prayer, through the solemnity of Good Friday, to the joy and light of Easter morning. Across the United Dioceses of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, this journey is marked in many places and forms, in parish churches, cathedrals, villages and coastal communities. This year, more than 150 services will be held throughout the diocese during Holy Week and Easter, reflecting the richness, depth and shared life of worship across our communities.
