First Friday

Friday 6th October is the First Friday of the month.

At 7.25 & 10 Mass we will be remembering our beloved dead in a special way.

It is also a day when the priests try and visit those who are housebound and unable to get to church. If you know someone who is unable to get to Mass and would like to receive Holy Communion please leave their name, address and a contact number in to the Parish Office (8369291) during the week.

Mass for Healing – 3pm, Sun 15th Oct – Ballygall

We welcome all to this Mass. A special welcome to those who are asking for prayers for healing and to those who are sick and housebound. Families are invited to come along with perhaps an elderly granny or grandad who may not be able to get to the church due to infirmity or old age.
