CONFIRMATION & FIRST HOLY COMMUNION CEREMONIES 2021
In the interest of the wellbeing of our communities and society the First Holy Communions & Confirmation Ceremonies have been deferred in keeping with regulations issued by the Government this week.
We realise how disappointing this is for all involved. We thank parents and teachers for their continued understanding and support during these challenging times. Further information on these ceremonies will be issued when we receive Government clearance to do so.
As the Confirmations & First Holy Communions are now deferred the 11.00 a.m. Mass will go ahead as usual next week.
BÓTHAR NA NAOMH CHURCH: SUNDAY 10.00 A.M. Mass
Please note the 9.00 a.m. Mass, has been moved from Bóthar na Naomh Church to the Cathedral (capacity 150) and the Bóthar na Naomh Sunday Mass (capacity 70) will now take place at 10.00 a.m. This change is due to
the increased numbers in attendance at our Sunday morning Masses.
Raise the Roof Lotto
Next Draw – Thursday July 8 - Jackpot of €1,725.00. You can join the Lotto anytime for as little as €2 per week (for one line) or a maximum of €5 per week (for 3 lines) with the jackpot growing if not won.
