Holydays –Mass as usual at 10am as on a weekday, Monday to Saturday. If the Holyday falls on a Monday there will be a 7pm Mass on the Monday evening also.  If it falls on any other day, Tuesday to Saturday, there will be a 7pm Vigil Mass the evening before and just 10am Mass on the day. But do check beforehand.

Funerals in our church are normally arranged via the undertakers, and  will typically be at 11am or 11.30am. However, in the rare event of two funerals needing to be held on one day, the times may vary.  Please check www.rip.ie beforehand, or ring the parish sacristy to be sure.

SEASON OF CREATION 2026.

Season of Creation 2026: Living Water guide to faith and actionFrom September 1 to October 4, we join Christians around the world in celebrating the Season of Creation, a time to thank God for the gift of creation and renew our commitment to care for our common home.
This year’s theme is “Living Water,” inspired by Ezekiel 47:9, 12, where water flowing from the Temple brings life and healing wherever it goes.
Everyone can take part in the Season of Creation, even in simple ways: pray for creation, conserve water and electricity, reduce waste, avoid unnecessary plastics, plant and care for trees and plants, and keep our surroundings clean. Our small daily choices can become acts of gratitude and care for God’s creation.
May this season help us recognize creation as God’s gift and inspire us to become better stewards of our common home.

The Archbishop’s Pastoral Letter introduces a Process for the Modification of Parishes for Mission, which is available here.

This Pentecost Letter puts before the Diocese a process which provides for initial reflection in parishes on their future. This process also sets out the formal steps to be taken, together with the Archbishop, when new parish structures and relationships are being considered… I ask Parish Pastoral Councils and Partnership Pastoral Councils, through prayer, listening, discernment and decision-making, to find together a way into the future for their parishes locally.

In the Holy Spirit, we are called to let go of what was, and open ourselves to where Christ is leading us, to embrace the hope God has for us and for all creation… Now is the time, in prayer and reflection, to deepen the renewal which has been long under way among us.
