OURPARISH- KEEPING THEFAITHALIVEIN2020

Statement from Fr. Kevin - In spite of C19 and the lockdowns our Parish in the last year had the following celebrations We welcomed seventeen children into our Christian family through Baptism.

On February 29th we had twenty-nine children confirmed by Bishop Ray. The afternoon in question had the four seasons weather-wise. Sunshine, high winds, hailstone and rain. It was a grace filled day. April 10th Good Friday a world exclusive for our Parish. Drive through stations of the Cross in the car park. Families stayed in their cars and drove from station to station to pray and reflect.

First Holy Communions were not celebrated in the customary month of May but in August and September. At the end of August eleven from Murhur N.S., and in September fourteen from Scoil Chorp Chríost. Very well done to their teachers and families. We had one Marriage, Dan and Marie. Small numbers but what a beautiful celebration. We handed back twenty-one Parishioners and we had three very special Angels returned to God’s Kingdom. May they enjoy Heaven.

Our prayerful support to their loved ones. Churches closed on 14th March, up until 9th April, I celebrated 24 Masses alone. YouTube Masses began on 29th March until June 28th a total of 19 celebrations including Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday which included celebrations in Knockanure Church. From April 6th to July 4th Masses celebrated at the Doorway of Hope, each evening Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm and Sunday’s at 11am, a total of 90 Masses. On 5th July, Churches re-opened and Masses resumed with congregations until St. Stephen’s Day. Now back to celebrating Masses at the ‘Doorway of Hope’ in Moyvane and from the Shelter in Knockanure. Very many thanks to all who have helped with these celebrations during the past year. We thank God that He has brought us safe, thus far, and in this new lockdown may our faith be our inspiration and consolation.
