C&SI - Why Sunday Matters - 4 October 2025 (S05E43)
Season 5 Episode 43
On this weeks podcast we reflect on the new document from the Irish Bishops Conference on Why Sunday matters. We share with listeners some of the thoughts and reflections that ss we journey together through this Jubilee Year of Hope, all Catholics are invited to reflect on the profound gift of Sunday Mass. This special year offers a unique opportunity to rediscover the heart of our faith and, for those who have been away, to return with renewed joy to the celebration of the Eucharist.
The "Why Sunday Matters" campaign seeks to
- Extend an Invitation to Reflect: The campaign invites Catholics to reflect on the profound significance of Sunday and to rediscover the heart of their faith.
- Be a Response to Challenges: It acknowledges that the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted practices and led to declining attendance, with some feeling disconnected or unwelcome.
- Encourage a Return: The campaign encourages those who have stopped attending to return to Sunday Mass, emphasizing it as a sacred privilege rather than just a duty.
- Promote a Welcoming Parish: It calls for a broader conversation within parishes about how to create more welcoming environments and enrich the celebration of Mass for everyone.
