Covid-19: The Faithful respond
In Cobh parish they have been receiving Mass via Facebook Live every morning at 9am.
On Sunday Bishop William Crean of the Diocese of Cloyne celebrated Mass with Cobh’s clergy.
Jennifer Buckley of Cobh Parish said: “Our musical director Dominic Finn and Cantor Patrick O’ Donoghue played and sang from our gallery. The combined choirs of St Colman’s Cathedral are the Cathedral Choir and the Chamber Choir. In the last year, our pipe organ was restored in Padua in Northern Italy. Some members of both choirs decided to sing along at home this morning.”
Mr Finn sent them what he would be playing and they used it at home to sing along.
Ms Buckley said: “This brought a sense of joy to many of our homes this morning. We will be doing this every Sunday from now on, until we can return to the gallery to sing as a choir.”
