In June 2012, Kilbane and his band performed at the 50th International Eucharistic Congress at the RDS Arena in Dublin. Kilbane continues to contribute to other religious events in Ireland, including at Knock. In 2018, Kilbane criticized the selection of Daniel O'Donnell to perform for Pope Francis during his visit to Ireland that year on account of O'Donnell's support for a "yes" vote in Ireland's same-sex marriage referendum in 2015.
