Sincere thanks to everyone who helped make our St. Patrick's Day Mass in Irish so special. It was fantastic to be allowed gather together again to celebrate this very special feast day in our church. Huge thanks to Fr. Barney McGuckian from Clongoweswood College for celebrating our Mass in our native language and to Tom Crehan for volunteering to lead us in the readings. Having lived with Covid-19 restrictions for two years It was fantastic to have our young Irish dancers perform for us and enriching our ceremony. Thanks to the Angela Brien School of Dancing (086-6064164) for this wonderful display. Thanks also to Billy Carey and the folk group for the beautiful Irish Hymns.

We have two Masses here in our church tomorrow to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Fr. Bernard will say Mass in English at 10am and we are delighted to have Fr. Barney McGuckian back with us again to celebrate Mass in Irish at 11.30am.
