BISHOP OF CORK AND ROSS, DR JOHN BUCKLEY
PUBLISHES PASTORAL LETTER ON THE EUCHARIST
The Bishop of Cork and Ross Dr John Buckley has published a Pastoral
Letter on the Eucharist which will be distributed to each home in the diocese.
The Pastoral is in leaflet form and entitled “Treasure the Eucharist”. It
highlights the fact that one of Pope John Paul II’s significant actions
was to declare the year 2005 as “The Year of the Eucharist”.
Bishop Buckley invites people to renew their appreciation of the Mass and
assures those “who for one reason or another” no longer attend Mass that
“Christ is longing for your return”.
The pastoral is available for download on the diocesan website in pdf form
at: http://www.corkandross.org/pdf/Eucharist2005.pdf
