Welcome

to the three priests from Kenya who have been appointed to work in Kerry diocese for three years. They will be mentored in the Tralee parishes until next July—learning about First
Communion and Confirmation programmes as well as the day-to-day aspects of parish life in Ireland.
They will take up an appointment next July.
Fr Sospeter (Sos-Peter) will be based in our own parish, working with Fr Padraig and Fr Amos.
Fr Timothy and Fr David will be based in St John’s parish.

We wish them every fulfillment in their ministry in our diocese.

Children's Liturgy

The work in the Family Chapel will be complete in a few weeks so we have decided to suspend the Children’s Liturgy on Sunday mornings at the 10am Mass until the work is complete. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Altar Servers

We will be recruiting Altar Servers in the next few weeks. It is open to any children from 3^rd class and older. Forms will be distributed through the schools.

Christmas dues and November Offerings.
Many thanks to those who have returned their CHY3 form so that we can submit a claim. Sincere thanks to all who support our parish collections during the year.
