Newsletters: After Mass you might kindly take one home with you for your own prayer and reflection during the week, and take one to those you know who are sick or housebound at the moment. Other than that you might take any leftover newsletters to the doors after Mass to help keep the Church tidy.

Reaching Out To Those Who Are Housebound: We always hold our concern and prayer for those who are housebound or sick, unable to gather now with the parish community for Mass each week. Please note that the priests of the parish visit with Holy Communion around the First Friday of the month to those unable to attend Mass, and if you wish to arrange a visit, please make contact with Siobhan in the Parish Office on Tues, Wed and Fri from 10.00am-12noon & we would be delighted to call.
