Safeguarding Newsletter offers updates and resources

October 14, 2020

The month of October has always been the safeguarding month in the Diocese but how it is marked this year has changed because of Covid19.

Issuing a newsletter to the people of the diocese the Safeguarding Office of the diocese acknowledges that every other October the office would be dealing with people face to face. 

“Normally we would be holding a safeguarding conference, sending out the yearly safeguarding parish audits, visiting parishes, training etc.” 

Ms. Cleo Yates, 
Director of Safeguarding

Ms Cleo Yates, Director of Safeguarding & Designated Liaison Person for the Diocese of Cork and Ross, says that “given these difficult times with Covid, things have changed and almost all our connection to the parishes is by way of online forms of communication, which brings its own challenges.”

The Newsletter is available for free download at this link.

Mass online at Gougane Barra on Sunday 26th

September 27, 2020

Everyone is invited to join online in prayer with Bishop Fintan Gavin as he celebrates Mass at the Oratory in Gougane Barra on Sunday Sept 27th at 3pm.

Due to Covid19 people cannot travel to Gougane Barra this year for the annual pilgrimage which marks the feast of St. Finbarr (Sept 25th).

Rosary will be prayed at 2.45pm. Mass will commence at 3pm. Join in prayer from home or wherever you are at that time.

St. Finbarr is Patron Saint of Cork City and of the Diocese of Cork. He is believed to have died in 623. Tradition holds that Finbarr was one of a community of monks who established a monastic settlement near the place where the river Lee rises. This is in Gougane Barra in Uibh Laoire parish.

St. Finbarr’s Oratory was built there in the early 1900s on the small island on a lake at Gougane on what has long been a place of pilgrimage and prayer.

St. Finbarr is said to have journeyed to the mouth of the Lee where it meets the sea and established a monastic school around which grew what developed into the city of Cork.

An annual pilgrimage day at Gougane is held on the last Sunday of September. Due to the pandemic, the Mass in broadcast online this year and people will not be able to access the island in person.
