Parish Mission of Hope: A time of healing, encouragement and prayer for our parish community. Wednesday 12th to Sunday 16th November. This parish mission is for everyone who is searching for peace, meaning, or encouragement in life. The Mission is for those who come to Mass regularly and those who are not attending regularly. The mission is a special time to:
•	Reflect on life’s challenges and blessings.
•	Receive healing through prayer and sacraments.
•	Be encouraged in faith, hope, and love.
•	Strengthen our entire community as followers of Christ.
Loving Father, bless our families, friends, and neighbours. 
May this Mission bring healing, encouragement, and new beginnings for all.

Candles will be blessed at these Masses to remember all our loved ones We will remember all those who have died and buried in our Parish during the last 12 months and all who are buried in our cemeteries.  ‘Parish List of the dead’ forms are now available.
Sisters of St Louis: will be leaving us before the end of October. This is not an easy time for the sisters as they have been an integral part of the community for many years. The Sisters will leave to take up residence in Dublin, and we pray that they will settle there with the extended community.  We wish to mark this occasion by having a ‘Farewell Mass’ with them on Saturday 25th at 11.00am. Followed by refreshments in the Holy Family Hall. We wish them every blessing in their new circumstances.
