As many as four million people are expected to watch the annual Pentecost Mass being broadcast at 10 a.m. tomorrow by RTE from Dublin's Holy Family Parish at Kill-of-The-Grange. The Mass will be seen live, via Eurovision, in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, and Portugal.
"Last time RTE transmitted a Mass via Eurovision from the Dublin archdiocese, nearly 1-1/2 million people tuned in from France alone," said Father Dermod McCarthy, religious programmes editor at RTE and director of the broadcast.
The chief celebrant will be the parish priest, Father Martin Tierney. He will be joined in the celebration by curates Father Piaras MacLochlainn and Father Harry Regan.
