Gathering as a community on the Lord’s Day to celebrate the Eucharist has always been at the heart of our Church

However, changes in society - some brought by the Covid19 pandemic - have seen some people’s connect with Sunday Mass weakened.

Ireland's Catholic Bishops have launched material in print and online with which they invite people to reflect on the profound importance of Sunday Mass.

Welcoming Why Sunday Matters in a video message, Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildate and Leighlin, said, “As we journey through this Jubilee Year of Hope, the Irish Bishops’ Conference invites everyone to. We recognise it not only as an obligation, but also as a precious gift – the source and summit of our faith.”
