CHURCH GATE COLLECTION

The Faith and Light church gate collection will take place at all Masses next weekend 19th/August 20. Faith and Light was born so that parents and people with learning disabilities would never feel alone again. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

ONE WAY TRAFFIC

Cadra is currently examining the development of a one way traffic system at Church. The concept is to have traffic enter from the School side and Martin Reilly Garage side but exit only opposite the church Gate. The idea is to reduce the number of cars meeting at the school side of this very busy junction. The objective is safety. We would welcome your views on the issue and will be interested in hearing your feed back over the next few months Contact any committee member or email carraroesligonews@ gmail.com.
