Funerals

To assist families in the most difficult of circumstances of having to let go of a loved one, we have put together a helpful booklet containing readings, psalms and sample prayers of the faithful. It also contains a few reflections which some might like to use after Holy Communion.

Holy Orders

The ongoing life of the church depends on vocations to the priesthood. Our diocese has a director of vocations and we’d be delighted to make an introduction for any interested candidates. Talk to any of the priests to get more information. The Diocesan website may also have useful information about Vocations in our diocese.

Every First Friday of the month, the priests visit the housebound with Holy Communion. If you are unable to attend Mass due to illness or frailty and would like to be visited by a priest on the First Friday, please feel free to contact the Parish Secretary in the Parish Office on 056 772 1072 to be included on the First Friday visits.
