MESSAGE FROM FR. JIM FEGAN
The obligation to be physically present at Mass is suspended till further notice. Mass will continue to be celebrated privately in our parish, and the intentions of parishioners will be remembered at these Masses.
In these extraordinary times when we cannot gather as a christian community to celebrate Mass, let us unite ourselves spiritually to the Mass as it is being celebrated in our churches. You can do this by praying the prayers in a booklet – which is on Kiltealy and
Ballindaggin Development Facebook pages- and also by joining broadcast Masses on radio or television. On weekday mornings at 10.30 a.m. Mass is broadcast on RTÉ News Now and on Sundays on South East Radio and also RTÉ television.
If I can help in any way during this time, please feel free to give me a call at 087 2395087. We will continue to keep each other in prayer, and ask God’s protection for our families and our country.
LATE MARGARET MULHALL
It was with a feeling of deep regret that news was learned of the sudden passing of Margaret Mulhall (née O’Brien), Ballycrystal, Kiltealy which occurred on Sunday, March 29, Deepest sympathy is extended to her husband Jim, to her daughter Claire and to her sons James, John and Jimmy and extended family and friends.
Margaret was a native of New Ross and she and her husband Jim moved to Ballycrystal following their retirement. Margaret was very popular in the area and her pleasing personality endeared to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was a woman of deep faith and was on the rota of readers in Kiltealy church and had recently joined the Eucharistic Adoration team. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend and her passing will leave a huge void in her family and also in the community in Kiltealy.
A private family funeral took place and a memorial Mass will be held at a later date. May she rest in peace.
