Our Story
The story of our Diocese – Cork, Cloyne and Ross – goes back to the earliest days of Christianity in Ireland, and to the work of the early missionary saints, including Saint Fin Barre of Cork, Saint Colman of Cloyne, and Saint Fachtna of Ross, as well as the faithful men and women who responded to God’s call and announced the good news. That work continues where we are today.
