The bishops will undertake a pilgrimage to the International Eucharistic and Marian Shrine in Knock this Sunday in memory of those who have died in Ireland during the pandemic and their families.
All 26 dioceses will be represented at the pilgrimage to the National Marian Shrine and there will be a special reflection given to those who have sacrificed so much during the pandemic, particularly those working in the healthcare sector.
These people will be directly acknowledged during the Mass as the liturgy will see prayers of thanksgiving offered for all those who the bishops said “so selflessly sacrificed so much during the pandemic”.
The Mass will be concelebrated by the bishops and commences at 3pm. It will be broadcast on the RTÉ News Now digital television channel and live-streamed on knockshrine.ie.
