Reconciliation (Confession)

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated in a community reconciliation service at Easter and Christmas. Apart from this you may approach the priest after any of the public Masses.

Housebound and Sacrament of the Sick

Every month, the priest visits the housebound with Holy Communion. If you are unable to attend Mass due to illness or frailty and would like to receive a monthly visit, please feel free to contact the Parish Office, 098 66198, to be included.
