Please observe all the guidelines of social distancing. You can contact the office by  phone: Fr Padraig 087-9808542. Thank you for your understanding at this difficult time.

BOOKED MASSES: If you cannot call to the office during the limited opening hours of Tuesday and Friday from 10am - 11am, you may use the letterbox for the Parish Office for the offering for any booked Masses.

Apologies for any inconvenience as we keep the people of our country in our prayers.

RADIO KERRY: Our regular Mass on Sundays will be broadcast live on Radio Kerry at 10am for the duration of the current restrictions.  As many older people don’t have live-streaming, this will be an important contact with a parish Sunday Mass. Many thanks to Radio Kerry for their support at this difficult time.

These should have been exciting weeks for families of First Holy Communion children, but unfortunately the ceremonies have been postponed until all restrictions have been lifted. We await further announcements by the government before planning any alternative date. Let us remember the children in our prayers at this time.

The Easter Dues envelopes for the clergy collection will not be distributed to households in the parish this year. If you wish to contribute to this collection, you may use the letterbox for the Parish Office. Please ensure that your name and address is on the envelope. Many thanks for your support, encouragement and care at this difficult time. As we continue to pray for you, please pray for us too.

Due to the coronavirus the Parish Office will remain closed until all restrictions are lifted. While this has been a difficult decision to make, it is a necessary one, with due consideration for the safety of our staff and parishioners. You can contact the office by phone 066-7125932 / 087-9808542. Thank you for your understanding at this difficult time.

Due to the coronavirus the Easter Booklet with the financial statement has not been published. Easter Dues envelopes for the clergy collection will not be distributed to households in the parish. Many thanks for your support, encouragement and care at this difficult time. As we continue to pray for you, please pray for us too.

Due to the current restrictions, confessions for Easter will not take place. Catholic doctrine teaches that if a person cannot get to Confession, it is sufficient to confess one’s sins to God, seeking forgiveness and with the intention of going to confession when next possible. God forgives the sins and the person is renewed in heart and soul. When the opportunity then arises later to go to Confession, he or she should do so.

As part of the celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of the dedication of Our Lady & St Brendan’s Church this year, the parish hopes to hold an exhibition and produce a publication relating to the history of the Church over the past 50 years. We would be delighted to receive photographs and memorabilia. All items submitted will be returned to the owner as soon as they are scanned/copied.

 

to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Our Lady & St Brendan’s Church. The Pastoral Parish Council has arranged a Mission to take place from October 18th to October 23rd 2020. Further details at a later date.
