First Sunday of Lent 22nd February 2026

Sunday 22 February 2026

Published 23 February 2026

R. I. P.

Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Peter O’Kelly (uncle of Carol our secretary) whose Funeral took place recently.

Please remember all bereaved families in your prayers.

Weekday Masses

We would like to advise parishioners that the main door of St. Patrick’s Church will remain closed for weekday Masses.

This will help to keep the church warm and welcoming during our 10 am Masses on Tuesday and Thursday, and our Wednesday evening Mass at 7:30 pm.

Please use the car park entrance to access the church.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your Lenten Journey

Have you decided what you will do for Lent this year? Again this year we will have a limited number of “Walk with Me” booklets available in our Churches / Sacristies.

These popular little booklets are a lovely companion as we pilgrimage together, nourished by prayer, strengthened by Scripture and sustained by the Eucharist, towards our goal, of the great feast of Easter Sunday. Cost: €2.

Trócaire Boxes

If you wish to donate to Trócaire this year, envelopes are available beside the Newsletters in both churches. (You can return these envelopes during or at the end of Lent).

Tap Machines

We continue to prepare for the installation of Tap Machines which will be located at the main entrance to both Churches. We will trial them for a six month period.

These Tap machines will be another facility for parishioners to donate. Parishioners can tap on their way in, or after Mass.

The Offertory Collection will still take place as normal during mass.
