Mass Offerings
Holy Mass is celebrated daily at 9:30am in Corpus Christi Church, Lisdoonvarna, except for Wednesdays at 7pm. The Wednesday evening Mass is preceded by a Medjugorje-style holy hour of Adoration of Jesus in the most Blessed Sacrament, beginning at 6pm with Our Lady’s Holy Rosary, and ending just before Mass with traditional benediction and individual blessings with the Blessed Sacrament. This is a lovely quiet oasis of prayer at mid-week.
