The annual Christmas Day Message by the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic Archbishops of Armagh, The Most Revd Dr Richard Clarke and The Most Revd Eamon Martin, will be broadcast on RTE One Television at 12.15pm on Thursday 25th December.

This year, the Archbishops’ theme will be on life as a gift and building a culture of life and the message will feature interviews with those who have given and received blood and organ donations.

Following the broadcast from 12.15 to 12.30 on Christmas Day, the Archbishops’ Message will also be available to view on the RTE Player.
