We keep the two Sunday masses with the 11am mass going to 11.30 am. This will come into effect this weekend ie November 25. We still retain our P.P. and our parish status. However, we will have priests from the other Parishes saying our Parish Masses from January ‘23. Our P.P. will be covering the other parishes as well.  Anyone who has masses booked for the Saturday nights from the 25th of November need to contact Fr Bobby to rearrange these masses. Unfortunately, this is a sign of the times, but we hope that this arrangement will work out for a long time.

Thanks to everyone who took part and helped in any way, your efforts are really appreciated. Also, a big big thank you to Anita O’Dwyer who keeps the show on the road each year, driving on the Spookfest! Well done all! The following are the results of the 1^st place winner in each category.
