Pentecost 2026

Pentecost Sunday was celebrated with great joy as our Parish Community gathered for a beautiful International Mass. The celebration brought together parishioners from many countries and cultures, including the Italian and Romanian Greek-Catholic Communities, in a joyful expression of faith, unity and welcome. The Mass was celebrated by Archbishop Emeritus Diarmuid Martin alongside Fr Cory and Deacon Victor Garvin.

The Mass was enriched by hymns and prayers in different languages, together with a moving Offertory procession prepared by representatives of the various Communities, each bringing symbols of their faith and heritage. A powerful sign of Pentecost - many languages becoming one voice in the Holy Spirit.

In his homily, Archbishop Martin reflected on the role our church has played in helping to build community in a changing Dublin. He challenged us to continue building a Parish Community rooted in welcome, solidarity and belonging. Echoing the spirit of Pentecost, he reminded us that “the language of the Holy Spirit is a language of encounter, respect, care and solidarity.”

A special moment of grace was the Confirmation of Giuseppe, Manuel and Romain, who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit surrounded by the prayers, support and joy of the whole Parish family.

Following Mass, parishioners gathered for a joyful picnic with food generously prepared by the different Communities. It was a lovely afternoon of friendship, conversation and celebration, reflecting the warmth and diversity of the Parish.

With thanks to all who made this day such a success
