Crosscare Annual Collection 2021

by

The Annual Collection for Crosscare, the social support agency of the Archdiocese of Dublin will be taken up at all Masses in the Diocese on the weekend of 18th and 19th September 2021. It will replace the usual Share collection.

Through their services for Homeless, Youth, Migrants and Refugees, Crosscare focuses on helping people and families when they need it most or when they can’t find supports anywhere else. In their Community Foodbanks and Cafes, they provide food parcels and nutritious meals every day. Demand for their services continues to increase as the pandemic has impacted the most vulnerable in our parishes and communities.

Please give generously in the second collection on 18th and 19th September next or on line at www.crosscare.ie

Sacramental Preparation

by

Understandably it has been a very challenging time for all of us in the Parish (and for all of you too) and there were celebrations and milestones in the lives of our young parishioners that were missed.

The Parish along with the schools of Loreto Girls and St. Mary’s Boys are now beginning the process of planning and celebrating the Sacraments which were missed due to the pandemic.

Confirmation

We plan on starting with the Confirmation classes of 2020 first. Our hope is that we can begin with the classes of 2020  in October and then follow on with the Confirmation classes of 2021 in November.

All parents of children in these classes will receive an email providing more information during the first weeks of September.

First Holy Communion

We will begin First Holy Communion with the First Holy Communion classes of 2020 followed by the First Holy Communion classes of 2021, and we hope to do this over a series of dates beginning Spring 2022. More details will be provided at a later date.

Please be aware that all of our preparation for and celebration of the Sacraments will be subject to all relevant Government guidelines and restrictions.

New Mass Times

by

As and from Sunday the 1st of August 2021 the mass times will be as follows:

  • Monday – Friday 10.00am
  • Saturday: 11.00am (The only Mass at this time in our grouping) & 6.45pm
  • Sunday: 8.30am (Irish Mass), 9.30am, 10.45am. There will be no 12:200pm Mass at the Church of the Annunciation but it is available in Churchtown at this time 

These arrangements will be in place until further notice.

We are very conscious that the loss of the 12 o’clock Mass will put pressure on numbers at the other Masses. Unfortunately, this is the position we currently find ourselves in and we need to be mindful that the availability of priests to continue with our normal schedule of Masses will be an ongoing issue for the future. We are still currently restricted to 50 attendees at each Mass and as always it is on a first come basis.

Mass will continue to be available on our website and there continues to be no obligation to attend Mass during the current restrictions.
