Ireland’s Mass Rocks
There is perhaps no tradition as unique to the Irish Catholic Church as Mass Rocks. Aid to the Church in Need Ireland has organised for a Holy Mass to be celebrated on a Mass Rock in each of Ireland’s 26 dioceses in the lead-up to the Feast of the Irish Martyrs on 20 June. These Holy Masses were offered for the renewal of the Faith in Ireland through the intercession of the Irish Martyrs.
