Annual Crosscare Collection 2025
The annual Diocesan Collection for Crosscare will be held next weekend, 20/21 September 2025. It will replace the usual Share Collection. Please support Crosscare generously.
What is Crosscare?
Crosscare is the diocesan agency that exists to support people and families when they face difficult challenges in life and when they find it hard to get the help they need. Crosscare focuses on helping people when they need it most or when they can’t find support anywhere else.
The SVP September collection will be held after all Masses this weekend, 13/14 September.
Season of Creation- 2 Sept-4 October
Peace with Creation
This year’s Season of Creation has as its theme “Peace with Creation”, inspired by the passage from Isaiah 32:14-18: “My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.” In a world of challenges and division, marked by war and climate change, how can we as people of faith create and work towards peace with creation?
The Season of Creation has a special significance for the Catholic Church, particularly since the late Pope Francis established 1 September as an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. The Season of Creation is marked throughout the Christian world from 1 September to 4 October (Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi) and celebrates the joy of creation as well as encouraging awareness-raising initiatives to protect the natural environment.

WHY SUNDAY MATTERS- from the Irish Bishops
“As we journey together through this Jubilee Year of Hope, we, the Irish Bishops, warmly invite all Catholics to reflect on the profound gift of Sunday Mass. This special year offers a unique opportunity to rediscover the heart of our faith and, for those who have been away, to return with renewed joy to the celebration of the Eucharist.”
Please read the Irish Bishops’ new pastoral message, Why Sunday Matters – An Invitation to Reflect on Sunday Mass (four-page PDF). It is also available in Word format.
An introductory video and a four-part video series titled Sunday Mass – Digging Deeper can be found at catholicbishops.ie.
