Online Mass Intentions – 10 a.m. Sunday, June 21: Tim Breen, Ballyowen.
Daily Mass is being broadcast live from the parish Facebook page at 10 a.m. every morning. Apart from parishioners logging on, we have had visitors from other parts of the county and country and abroad tuning in live. You are all very welcome among us always but never more so than during these difficult and trying times.
Visits to sick and housebound – Out of concern for the wellbeing of our sick and housebound Fr Richard will not make visits to them with Holy Communion. However, Fr Richard is always available on request. In the event that pastoral support is needed in Monaseed please also contact him at 087 6923280 as Fr Felix is cocooning and should not be involved in pastoral work at this time. Fr Richard will keep the situation under review and normal activity will hopefully resume as soon as possible. In the meantime, stay safe.
