Washing of the Feet: If you wish to volunteer, please contact the parish office. Opportunity to bring Holy Communion to the sick and housebound on Holy Thursday: As the Mass of the Lord’s Supper celebrates the institution of the Blessed Eucharist, on this special occasion, members of the congregation are invited to bring Holy Communion home to family members who are sick and housebound.

Parish Pastoral Council Meeting: The PPC met on March 13 and welcomed new members Sally Phalan and Kathleen Manning, and welcomed back to the council past members Tom Coleman and Mairead Murphy. The meeting discussed what actions the parish needs to take to ensure compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulations which come into force on May 25 which significantly increase the rights of owners of data that the parish holds; a request that all parishes in the deanery look at ‘Planning for the Future’ particularly in light of the reducing number of priests in the diocese and of regular Mass goers, and events that the parish might hold to strengthen our faith communities. In relation to property it was noted that works to ensure safer parking to the rear of St Mochonog’s are in hand, that before re painting of St Mary’s commences the reason for the problems with discolouration are being investigated. It was agreed that advice should be sought advice regarding the professional restoration of the Stations of the Cross from St Patrick’s, which were removed to the basement of the Parochial House for safe keeping after one was damaged; and that the weekly Diocesan Newsletter on the eighth Amendment would be made available in all our churches. The next meeting of the PPC will be on April 24.
