Pastoral Policy for visitation of the sick: The question has often been raised about visitation of the sick. The priest will only visit a sick person at the request of that person’s family This is out of respect for those who are ill and are recovering or undergoing long term treatment.  Fr Kieran or Fr Michael are happy to visit an ill person in their home. We will not arrive on a doorstep uninvited.

Weekday Mass Intentions: There is no guarantee that the 9.30am Weekday Masses will be celebrated on a Monday or Friday, if there is a funeral on the Monday or Friday the funeral takes precedence and so the 9.30am will not be celebrated as scheduled. Secondly, if there is just one priest in the Parish at a particular time, the 9.30am Mass may be cancelled at short notice. For the above reasons it is advisable to only book anniversary Masses for a weekend Mass Saturday at 7pm or 9.30am on a Sunday.
NOTICE: From September 1st 2026 ALL WEEKEND ANNIVERSARY MASSES are to be booked only through the Parish Office in writing by either texting Parish mobile on 087 6455 729 or emailing magheracloone@clogherparishes.ie for both Churches. No phone voice messages accepted due to details needed for correct spelling in bulletin.
