With church buildings closed for public worship, and with Level 5 restrictions confining everyone to within 5km of home, the United Dioceses of Cork,Cloyne and Ross invites you to break free and to join everyone in a virtual pilgrimage:

The Way of the Cross with St Fin Barre from Gougane Barra to Cork

Throughout Holy Week this virtual journey of prayer, readings, music and reflection begins at the source of the River Lee, at Gougane Barra,  takes us along the Lee Valley to Cork, to Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral (marking the 150th anniversary of its consecration). 

The pilgrimage starts in Kilmocomogue Union (Bantry and Durrus), a parish which extends to Gougane Barra,  and then passes through parish by parish – Moviddy Union and Carrigrohane Union – before arriving at Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral.

You are invited to join us this year virtually in the hope and prayer that next year we will actually walk together.

Palm Sunday Crosses and Coronavirus Pandemic Memorial at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork

Posted on March 29, 2021 by Latest News and Photos from the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross

Last year, with the palm crosses for Palm Sunday 2020, already purchased and delivered to Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork, the question was ‘what will we do with them?’

The Dean of Cork, the Very Reverend Nigel Dunne, fastened them to the railings at the Cathedral gates to announce the start of Holy Week, where they remained throughout the week.

Many passers-by assumed, however, that the crosses were a memorial to those who had already died of Covid-19 around the world. One said ‘You will have to do this every Palm Sunday now, not just for Holy Week, but as a memorial to those who have died during this pandemic.’ The seeds of a tradition were sown.

And so, in 2021, the tradition has been continued. Announcing Palm Sunday and Holy Week while church buildings are closed for public worship, but also again as a memorial to those who have died in the Coronavirus Pandemic, the crosses have been tied again to the Cathedral railings.
