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.

It’s that time again where you need to get the thinking caps on and display your scarecrow creation in the village of New Inn. On Sunday 23, we are taking names and registering your masterpieces from 2-4pm in the Gaa field. We will also be selling tickets for the Kiddies disco which will be in the New Inn Community Centre on the bank holiday Monday, Oct 31 from 3-5pm. We’ll need as many scarecrows as possible lining our village and roads so we can get the village buzzing. We are calling all our families, groups of people, townlands, schools, players from teams, clubs etc. in the parish but also from outside the parish (all are welcome) to get together and create a masterpiece of a scarecrow of any theme you wish. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page, “New Inn festival” Spookfest, for further updates. If anyone needs more information, please contact Anita on 087 6505889.
