PARISH FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
We are aware that these are very difficult and worrying times for all of us. Our Parish income has suffered as a result of the imposed restrictions due to the Coronavirus. If you are able to offer some regular financial support, via Standing Order, we would be most grateful.
Those who very kindly contribute to the Family Offering via the parish envelopes may wish to continue using the envelopes by collecting them at home and bringing them back to the parish when it is safe to do so. Alternatively, you may wish to consider replacing your envelope donation to contribute with a standing order.
Standing Order Forms can be downloaded and returned to the Pastoral Area Office. Many thanks.

First Holy Communion
In May your child will be invited to receive Holy Communion for the first time. It is an important step in their lives, as well as in the life of your family.
The sacramental preparation of children receiving their First Confession and Holy Communion is made up of many parts of their lives coming together - community, catechesis, home, school and parish.
We work together using the sacramental programme "Do This In Memory" to help each child understand their faith journey.

Photos of the First Holy Communions are on our GALLERY page.
Confirmation
You must be Baptised and have received Holy Communion in the Roman Catholic Church, to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
When you are confirmed it means that with the Sacraments of Baptism and Communion, you become a full member of the Church.
Confirmation celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit and we are called to be Christian witnesses, just like Jesus' apostles.
​
Marriage
Congratulations on your decision to get married. To arrange your wedding in a church in the Pastoral Area, please contact Fr. Derek by email or by phone - see bottom of page.
Both parties are required to give three months notice.
You are also required to give a minimum of three months notice to the Civil Registration Office (State): Tel: 01 863 8200.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Confession, should be prayerfully made with the spirit of humility and repentance.
It involves you thinking about what your sins are, resolving to avoid these sins in the future, confessing your sins to the priest and performing your penance.
Reconciliation is available by appointment.
Funerals
We are very sorry for your loss. Funeral arrangements are normally made through the Funeral Director or Undertaker. Please contact your local Undertaker and they will begin the process of making all arrangements necessary for a funeral.
​
Home Visits
If you or someone you know would like to receive Holy Communion at home or would like to receive the Sacrament of the Sick, or if you would like your home to be blessed, please contact Fr. Derek - contact details below.
