Ballygall Parish celebrates its 60th Anniversary 1964 – 2024

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 14th March at 7.30pm

Bishop Dermot Farrell has confirmed that he is available to say Mass on the 16^th June @ 11.30am to mark this Celebration.

Some parishioners met on Thursday 22nd February to discuss how we could celebrate the 60th anniversary of our parish. Prayerful preparation was seen as an important part of our celebrations.
A celebratory Mass was part of the plans that will hopefully take place in June. (Theparish was formed in May 1964). A parish picnic would be organised afterwards.
Photographs and videos would be compiled and shown in the weeks beforehand, perhaps after Easter.
As part of an outreach throughout the parish it was suggested visitation of all houses in the parish and approaching the parish schools to take part in some competitions to mark the diamond jubilee of the parish. 
These are but some ideas put forward. If you have any suggestions or skills or a willingness to help with these celebrations please
contact us through the parish office over the next few weeks.
The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 14th March at 7.30pm
