Sharing Anniversaries
If you book an weekend Mass, it will be with the understanding that families may have to share a particular weekend Mass with others. So far this is working well.
For those who wish to have an individual Mass, we offer weekday Masses at 10am.

Cemetery Water
Water has returned to the hall and we are using a new push button tap which will hopefully help conserve water and reduce our water bill. Water is also available at the back of the church sacristy. Incidentally, our last quarterly bill from Uisce Eireann was €307 (December to March).
First Holy Communion
Next Saturday we welcome the children from our schools who will receive their First Holy Communion. Please keep them in your prayers as they celebrate this important milestone in their faith journey. Mass starts at 11am
