Laudate celebrates our pupils and all who are part of our Catholic Schools. All are invited to the Laudate Festival Celebrations to join in song and reflection on Tuesday 27 January at 7pm in the Church of Our Lady of Victories on the Ballymun Road.

 

Adoration takes place every Thursday in the Oratory after 10.00am Mass. (except on days where we have a funeral).

Tuesday 6th January is a Holy Day of Obligation for the Feast of the Epiphany. Mass will be at 10.00am here in Ballygall. Our Lady of Dolours, Glasnevin will have a 7.00pm evening Mass on Monday.

The 07.25am Mass here in Ballygall will resume on Wednesday 7th January. 

A sincere thanks to all those who helped to make the Church so special for Christmas in so many different ways. The church was gleaming, the crib and tree looked fantastic, the decorations elegant and the flowers beautiful. Thanks to choirs, stewards, ministers of the Word & Eucharist, sacristans and all readers along with so many others.

It was lovely to see so many people attend the 11.30pm Mass on New Year’s Eve. It was a very special way to ring in the New Year – in the presence of the Eucharist.

Sincere thanks to all who have contributed to the Christmas offering through the envelopes and the “Tap and Go” machine. Your support is greatly appreciated not only by the priests of the parish but also priests throughout the parish including sick and retired priests
