Mission Sunday 2022

This weekend parishes worldwide celebrate World Mission Sunday. The kindness shown will help overseas missionaries to continue to share the love of God with some of the world’s most marginalised and vulnerable people.

Thank you for supporting in whatever way you can, and please remember it is more than an appeal for financial help. Missionaries also need spiritual support. On World Mission Sunday missionaries take great strength in knowing that the faithful of the world are keeping them in their thoughts and prayers. Help right now. You will find a Mission Sunday envelope in your box of envelopes. You can also donate €4 by texting the word ‘Mission’ to 50300. Alternatively donate at www.missio. ie or call Missio Ireland on 01-497 2035. To learn more go to www.missio.ie.

Annual Remembrance Mass

Our Annual Parish Remembrance Mass will take place on Saturday, 19^th November at 5:45 pm in St. Patrick’s Church, Stamullen and at 7 pm in St. Mary’s Church Julianstown.

During this Mass we will remember our loved ones and friends who have died, we will also remember all who have died in tragic circumstances in our Country during the year and those who died tragically in Creeslough.

November List of the Dead

List of the Dead envelopes are available in the Church.  You can return your envelope by placing it in the box at the top of the Church during mass times, popping in into the basket, or you can give it to Fr.
