Covid-19 restrictions – Mass via Webcam – Covid-19 restrictions
Following the Government decision on 5 October 2020 we are forced to close our Church for public services [except funerals]. We are ‘returning’ to celebrating Mass each day without a congregation. You are invited to join us via our parish webcam.
Monday to Saturday: 10am
Sunday Masses: Vigil Mass at 7pm [Saturday] & 10am and 12 noon [Sunday]
The Church is open daily after the 10.30 Mass [after 12 noon Mass on Sunday] until 5pm for private prayer. For your safety, and that of others, please sanitise your hands on entering and leaving the church as well as observing social distancing guidelines and signs on display in the church.
The Church is sanitised daily by a team of parish volunteers. Please assist them by sanitising the place where you sat / knelt during your visit. Thank You!

FRIENDLY CALL SERVICE: The Friendly Call Cork service is available for older people and those who are alone and isolated. The Friendly Call team will phone individuals every day to check in with them, ensure that they are safe and chat about their worries. They will also try to deliver shopping to individuals who don’t have anyone else to call on for help. Should you know of anyone who could benefit from this service – or you yourself are in this situation – please contact Brenda Barry on 087 6366407 or Brenda.Barry@partnershipcork.ie
