WEEKEND MASSES: From 1st January 2019 there will be one Saturday vigil Mass at 8pm (as usual), but there will only be one Sunday morning Mass, this will alternate each month for the foreseeable future at 10am. Many areas throughout the country have lost Masses, had churches closed or parishes amalgamated, none of this was due, however, to lack of vocations or shortage of priests, but was caused by lack of a congregation.   

 

 

Altar Society: Thanks to the people who joined the Altar Society & are helping out on a regular basis & doing a great job in Mullinabreena Church. However, more volunteers are needed & would be very much appreciated. Please consider adding your name to the helpers or contact Fr Peter or any member of the Altar Society. Why not give a little of your time to help keep your church looking good? One or two hours a month would be sufficient.
