RTÉ ONE presents a special broadcast of Mass for Holy Thursday, offering viewers a chance to participate in this important liturgical celebration from the comfort of their homes. The Mass, airing at 4:40 PM on Thursday, April 17th, will be celebrated by Bishop Paul Dempsey, Auxiliary Bishop of Dublin, in the RTÉ studios.
Joining Bishop Dempsey will be staff and friends of Trócaire, the Irish charity dedicated to fighting poverty and injustice worldwide. Their presence underscores the connection between faith and social action, a key theme of the Holy Thursday liturgy. Providing the music for the service will be the Aontas Choir, led by Adam Hodgkinson and Jordan Murphy.
This broadcast forms part of Trócaire’s annual Lenten campaign, a time for reflection and supporting those in need around the globe. The hour-long service provides an opportunity for viewers to connect with their faith and consider the significance of Holy Thursday in the Christian calendar.
For those unable to attend a Mass in person, or those simply seeking a moment of spiritual reflection, RTÉ ONE’s broadcast offers a meaningful way to observe Holy Thursday.
