TEMPLETOWN PARISH
Statement from Fr Michael Doyle, After careful consideration and having taken best medical advice I have decided to suspend the celebration of all Masses in the parish of Templetown. Masses will be transmitted over Facebook only; Pat Kent will update with Mass streaming times. There will be no public celebration of Mass.
Of course, people will be disappointed as I am too. None the less I remain firm in my decision for the care of the souls entrusted in me. Let us remain serene in our holy faith, steadfast in hope and grow in love.
