Saturday August 8th is the Feast of Saint Dominic. The feast of our Holy Father Saint Dominic will be celebrated in Holy Cross Church by Bishop Ray Browne at 1:05pm Mass on Saturday.
In keeping with the centuries old tradition between the Dominican and Franciscan orders of inviting each other to preach on the feast days of their respective founders, we will welcome friars from the Killarney Franciscan Friary to concelebrate and preach the Holy Mass.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will take place before Mass from 11am to 12:55pm.
O lumen Ecclésiæ,
Doctor veritátis,
Rosa patiéntiæ,
Ebur castitátis,
Áquam sapiéntiæ
Propinásti gratis,
Prædicátor grátiæ
Nos junge beátis.
O light of the Church,
Teacher of truth,
Rose of patience,
Ivory of chastity,
You freely poured forth the waters of wisdom,
Preacher of grace unite us with the blessed.
