Sunday Mass to be broadcast on RTÉ News Now when a Protestant service is being broadcast on RTÉ One and RTÉ Radio 1 Extra and vice versa.

We want people of all faiths to know that RTÉ is with them in spirit – RTÉ’s Head of Religious Content, Roger Childs.

Rector and parish administrator of St Joseph’s in Dundalk, Fr Noel Kehoe CSsR, described the new initiative as “an exciting new tool in our mission to preach plentiful redemption.”

“We want worship to be celebrated here again, because that is what a cathedral is all about.”

"Churchservices.tv is providing valuable access and RTÉ is delighted to be able to facilitate the service.”

“From the start we set ourselves a five-year target to achieve a functional cathedral for Christmas 2014" - Fr Tom Healy.
