Baptism

Mass Schedule – Update
At recent Finance and Parish Pastoral Assembly meetings, the Mass schedule in our Parish was discussed.
It was acknowledged that while it does not suit everyone, which is appreciated, one Vigil mass in the parish at 7pm in St. Mary’s Church is working well both liturgically and logistically and therefore it was decided to continue with the current schedule.
Cemetery devotions
Moorechurch Cemetery
- The Moorechurch Cemetery committee would like to remind all there is no dumping anywhere in the Cemetery, especially in the ditches. You are also requested to please bring your rubbish home to recycle.
- Thanks to the generosity of local farmers, Car parking will be available in fields surrounding the Cemetery.
- There will be no parking in the Cemetery and bollards will be placed between the two vehicular gates to ensure the safety of Pedestrians.
- Gardai will also be on duty at the Whitecross junction after the mass to ensure smooth exit for all.
Kilsharvan Cemetery
Devotions in Kilsharvan Cemetery will take place on Friday, 12th July at 7pm.
