Holy Week in Bantry Parish 2014
During Holy
Week, we commemorate the Passion of Christ, who died on Good Friday for our
sins, and rose on Easter Sunday to give new life to all who believe. Attending
at the ceremonies during Holy Week is our way of journeying with Christ
thorough His death and resurrection.
In the past we
celebrated this journey in each of the three churches in Bantry Parish.
However, we now find ourselves with just two priests in the parish where there
used to be five and we have to plan for this reality. We have to time
ceremonies so that if one priest is unavailable the other can lead almost all
of the scheduled ceremonies. Therefore, this year, we will have the full
complement of ceremonies in the parish church in Bantry, but for the first
time, ceremonies will be shared between Kealkil and Coomhola Churches. We will
celebrate Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday in Kealkil and Good Friday in
Coomhola.
