Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

The family of parishes was established by Bishop Fintan in September 2022 with the goal of various parishes working together and sharing resources to the benefit of all communities. In the case of our family of parishes this initiative builds on long established and enduring connections between local communities here on the northside of Cork City. These parishes have long been interconnected through family relations, friendships, community and sporting initiatives and a shared pride in identifying as ‘Norries’.
The Northside Family of Parishes is served by a team of priests who minister across all local communities and who work together with lay leadership teams, ministers, volunteers and each parish community as together we seek to proclaim, celebrate and witness to the teachings and values of Jesus here on the northside of the city.
Based in the northwest of Cork city this particular Family of Parishes at NorthsideParishes.ie includes the four Parishes of:
