Juventutem Waterford – Inaugural Meeting

We are pleased to announce the foundation of a new chapter of Juventutem here in Waterford. Juventutem is an international movement for young Catholics aged 18–35, dedicated to the sanctification of youth through the treasures of the Church, particularly the Traditional Latin Mass.

The Waterford chapter will meet on a monthly basis. Our first gathering will take place on Friday, 12th September. The evening will begin with Holy Mass at 6:30pm in St John’s Church, Waterford, followed by a spiritual conference and social time in the adjoining parish hall. All young adults within the age group are warmly invited to attend. You can also follow the chapter on Instagram here.

First Friday Devotions

5th September after 6:30pm Mass: traditional devotions, prayers to the Sacred Heart and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (during which confessions will be available), finishing with benediction at 8:15pm.

Changes in Waterford Mass-times

Mass on Thursday 14th August will be at the slightly later time of 6:45pm due to a parish event.

Mass on Saturday 16th August will be at 8am.

Change in Wexford Mass Time

NB: Temporary change to our usual Mass time on Sunday, 10th August 2025, due to the Fleadh Cheoil events taking place in the area. Our Mass will be held at the earlier time of 7am on this one occasion. No 10am Mass on this day.

Youth Group Excursion

Our young adults (ages 18–35) are going on a day pilgrimage to St Mullins and Graiguenamanagh on Saturday 26th July. We will visit the ancient monastic site and holy well at St Mullins, followed by a visit to Duiske Abbey.
Please contact office@fssp.ie if you would like to attend.

Change in Mass Schedule

Please note that Mass on Saturday 19th July will be at the earlier time of 9am.

Appeal Update – July 2025

As we mark the second anniversary of the purchase of our first house in Ireland, we give heartfelt thanks to Almighty God and to the many generous benefactors who made this milestone possible.  In thanksgiving, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at 10am on Sunday, 20th July will be offered for all who have contributed to the Appeal. 

Since the launch of our fundraising campaign in 2023, a remarkable €426,087 has been raised toward the cost of the presbytery, which totalled €500,000. This leaves a remaining loan balance of €73,913. Every contribution, large or small, helps bring this project to completion.
