at the Poor Clare Monastery, College Road, Cork
Poor Clares Vocations Afternoon - Sat 3 October 2026You are invited to join people from across the Diocese for Gougane Sunday on Sunday 27th September, when we gather to honour St Finbarr one of the Patrons of our Diocese.
For more than 1,400 years Gougane Barra has been a place of prayer and pilgrimage associated with St Finbarr.
Confessions will be available from 1.30pm, Rosary will be prayed at 2.30pm,
Mass at 3.00pm celebrated by Bishop Fintan Gavin.
All are welcome to join this special annual pilgrimage and to pray together for our Diocese, our families, our parishes and faith communities, and for the pastoral year ahead.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 40 and feel there is a possibility that God may be calling you to be a diocesan priest, then our monthly Discernment Group Meetings may be a good way to help you to discern this call.
It is a gentle non-committal first step in the process which takes the form of a monthly meeting with other men discerning their call. The monthly meetings offer an opportunity for prayer, conversation, fellowship and accompaniment. An experienced spiritual director will also be provided to help guide you along the path.
The first meeting takes place on
