By Suzanne Pender THE Cathedral of the Assumption, Carlow will lead the country in prayer this Easter with a number of the parish’s services broadcast live on…
According to the rector, Fr Richard Gibbons, despite putting on extra masses for Christmas, all places are already booked up for every service.
The basilica, which ordinarily accommodates 3,700 people seated, is currently permitted just 200 people in four pods of 50.
But thanks to the extra masses, nearly 1,600 people will be able to attend public worship in Knock over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
“There has to be an hour between each mass for cleaning. We have a base of volunteers of about 30 to 40 people,” Fr Gibbons told the
Irish Independent.
At the Cathedral of the Assumption in Carlow, the parish has opted to ticket all Christmas masses this year.
