Mass Cancellation 

Important Notice

 

The public celebration of Mass in the Parish of Borrisoleigh/Ileigh (with the exception of Funeral Mass(es) complying with the maximum attendance of 100) is suspended until and including Sunday 29th March, with immediate effect.

 It is necessary to cancel both weekend and daily Masses as it is not possible to comply with the public health authority’s requirement to have less than 100 people gathering indoors in both our Churches.

Also, while the cancellation of all Masses is regrettable, it will communicate to our parish community the serious impact of Covid-19 upon the elderly and those with underlying health issues.

You can listen or watch the celebration of Mass on EWTN Catholic TV  on Sky 588, Virgin Media 815, Eircom eFibre 589 and Online: www.ewtn.ie

You may also join in the celebration of Mass on RTE Radio1 and Television and Tipp Mid-West Radio on Sunday mornings.

Community Centre

Due to Covid-19 Borrisoleigh community centre will be closed until further notice.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Priests will continue to offer their Mass for the good of the parishes they serve. The Thurles Parish Mass will be live-streamed each morning @ 11am from the Thurles Parish Website (www.thurlesparish.ie) Please spread the word around on social media and by word of mouth – especially to those you know who would like to attend but can’t.
