It was a real delight to welcome the large number of people from near and far who attended our Annual Cemetery Sunday Mass and Blessing of Graves in our parish this past weekend. A very sincere word of thanks to the many people in our parish to gave so freely and generously of their time for this important faith gathering in our parish. It was a superb team effort and a continuing example of our synodal church in action. Thanks to Darek for his work of maintenance, to Tommy, Joseph and Jason who provided our sound system, to PJ, our sacristan team and servers, to our hardworking stewards who ensured all went so smoothly, to Gavin and our choir, to our youth readers, to June and the Ministers of Holy Communion, to Colm and Kieran Funeral Care for providing our canopies, to Sgt. Jimmy McGovern and Kingscourt Gardai for their traffic management. Thanks to everyone who attend to their individual grave plots throughout the year, ensuring our cemetery and the resting place of our deceased loved ones is kept appropriately.
Our 2024 Cemetery Mass and Blessing of the Graves takes place on Sunday 4th August 2024, at 12noon. May all our beloved dead rest in God’s gentle embrace eternally.
