Production of our Parish Bulletin is suspended until further notice.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all public Masses and other ceremonies are suspended. You are invited, however, to join us every day – by Webcam – for 10am Mass.
The Church is open from 12 noon – 5pm every day for private prayer. We earnestly ask you that you respect the social distancing guidelines when visiting the church and to sanitise your hands on entering and leaving the Church.
Sunday and weekday Mass @ 10am – Webcam
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 everyday 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 [email protected]
