Sacrament of Reconciliation during the Coronavirus Emergency<\/span> As highlighted in the Decree of the Apostolic Penitentiary and stated by the Holy Father in his Homily of 20 March 2020, it is vitally important that the faithful know that if they cannot access confession, then, by making an act of sorrow, by being truly contrite for all their sins with the intention not to sin anymore, and with the intention of going to confession as soon as is possible, they are reconciled with God and obtain the forgiveness of their sins, even mortal sins. Bishop Noel Treanor<\/em><\/h3>\n

POPE FRANCIS NEWS..<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 Holy Week, which is the culmination of the 40-day Lenten period, is the most solemn period for Christians worldwide, who celebrate the solemn mysteries of Christ\u2019s passion, death and resurrection. This year the liturgical celebrations of Pope Francis from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday will take place in St. Peter\u2019s Basilica in Rome, without the presence of the faithful. The Stations of the Cross will take place in front of the Basilica.<\/p>\n

\n

Pope Francis will celebrate all of the Holy Week Rites in St. Peter\u2019s Basilica, starting with\u00a0Palm Sunday<\/b>\u00a0at 11.00am, 5 April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As for the Triduum, or the 3 days preceding Easter, the\u00a0Holy Thursday<\/b>\u00a0Mass of the Lord\u2019s Supper will begin at 6:00pm on 9 April.<\/p>\n

The following day,\u00a0Good Friday<\/b>, Pope Francis will preside over the celebration of the Lord\u2019s Passion. However, that night, the Stations of the Cross will not be held at the traditional site of the Colosseum, but in front of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica in the Vatican at 9:00 pm.<\/p>\n

Churches are to remain closed until further notice. Parishes will do all they can to raise awareness of available opportunities to participate in Mass via radio, TV, and web streaming. Information will be shared on the Diocesan website (www.downandconnor.org)<\/strong> and through parish social media.<\/p>\n

Weddings<\/span> <\/strong>Weddings have been suspended until further notice.<\/p>\n
