CHRISTMAS MASS TIMES ACROSS THE DIOCESE OF CLOGHER

Crib at St Patrick’s Church, Derrygonnelly, Co Fermanagh. Come Lord Jesus!
Everyone is invited and encouraged to join the community in the celebration of Eucharist at Christmas. On 25 December, Christians everywhere celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Saviour. After the celebration of the paschal mystery at Easter, the next most important date in the liturgical calendar is that of Christmas. Liturgically, Christmas runs from First Vespers (Evening Prayer) on Christmas Eve up to and including the Sunday following the celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord on 6 January.

On Christmas Day, in accordance with an ancient Roman tradition, Mass may be celebrated three times, that is, in the night, at dawn and during the day (See, Liturgical Calendar for Ireland 2018, p. 38).
