Welcome back to public Masses in Carrig church from July 4/5. Mass on Saturday the 4th at 7 p.m., and Sunday the 5th at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Due to government health guidelines the seating capacity in our church is drastically reduced. A first come first served system will be in operation in the church.
