Baptisms

This weekend we welcome in Baptism: Niamh Calvey, Charlie Hinchliffe and Kayla White.

May newly baptised children always know and love Jesus as their friend.

We ask parishioners to pray for these children and their families

Please contact the Parish Office if you wish to have your child baptised.

Ceremonies in the Parish:  Weddings 

We would like to congratulate Martina Melia & Paul Haran who were married in our Parish during the week.

We wish them both every blessing for the future.

First Communion Ceremonies

The Government have given the green light to go ahead with our First Holy Communion Ceremonies in October.

• Stamullen – Saturday, 9^th October
• Julianstown – Saturday, 16^th October

As part of our preparations, we will have a series of Masses/Liturgies on Wednesday and Thursday each week, commencing Wednesday, 15^th September at 7:15pm in St. Patrick’s Church, Stamullen and Thursday, 16^th September at 7:15 pm in St. Mary’s Church, Julianstown.

Masses will follow the same format as a Sunday morning.

If you are unable to attend your particular mass, you are very welcome to attend the alternative night.

Families are also encouraged to attend weekend Masses over the next few weeks, as Government guidelines now allow bigger attendance in Churches.

For the safety of all:

• All adults must wear facemasks while in the Church for all Masses/Liturgies.

• Sanitisers are available at the entrance to both churches.

The celebration of Mass is our opportunity to nourish ourselves with the love of God and also in the love of our fellow parishioners and our parish community.  It is a life-giving experience.
