Friday 15th August is a Holyday of Obligation – the Assumption of Our Lady.

Mass times are Vigil (Thursday evening): 6.30pm, 7.25am and 10.00am.

Sunday 24th August has been designated by Archbishop Farrell as a day of prayer and reflection for Gaza. 

Please join in 24 hours of prayer & reflection in your homes and in our parish on Sunday 24th August. Light a candle in your home, attend Mass, spend time in front of the Blessed Sacrament, pray the Rosary, make some small personal penance or sacrifice, and on that day let the light of hope radiate out from the island of Ireland for peace, for Gaza and for the future of its people.

 

Fr. Joe has been writing a weekly column for over ten years. It is called “Rumblings from the Bunker”. Starting this week, the column will be a feature of our Ballygall Parish website. See more details and this week’s column here.

You may also pick up a copy in the church porches weekly.

We are delighted to extend a very warm Ballygall welcome to Fr. Joe McDonald who has joined our parish.  

Originally from Belfast, Fr. Joe was a founder member of the Roncalli Community and has featured regularly on TV and radio discussing faith matters.  

He previously served in a number of Dublin parishes including Ballyfermot and Celbridge.

We wish Fr. Joe well and hope that he is very happy here.
