Parish News

Since I came here three years ago, Christmas masses have been very well attended with full churches. It was heartening to see so many people coming to mass and visiting the crib.

Sadly this year, it will be completely different.  Due to Covid-19 and Government regulations we are limited to 50 people only attending each mass.  Also there have to be one hour between masses to allow for cleaning and ventilation.

  • No one is allowed to congregate on church grounds.
  • The duration of each mass is limited to one hour and this includes people entering and leaving the church.
  • The wearing of face masks is obligatory for everyone over 13 years of age.
  • There will be 3 masses on Christmas Eve and 3 on Christmas Day and they are as follows:

 

Christmas Eve Thursday 24th December

11am                      Borrisoleigh Church

6pm                       Borrisoleigh Church

8pm                       Borrisoleigh church

 

Christmas Day Friday 25th December

8am                       Borrisoleigh

9.30am                 Ileigh

11am                      Borrisoleigh

 

The Community Centre will be open to cater for the overflow of people for three masses i.e.  6pm and 8pm on Christmas Eve and 11am on Christmas morning. Holy Communion will be distributed in the Centre at each of these masses.

Remember there is no obligation to attend mass on Christmas Day. Instead you may like to join as a family in the celebration of mass on-line from Borrisoleigh Church at twitch.tv/borrisoleighandileigh (all one word and all small letters) or you may watch it on R.T.E at 11pm on Christmas Eve and 10am on Christmas Day.

 

You may like to attend mass on Christmas Eve morning or on one of the twelve days of Christmas i.e. 26th of December – 6th January inc.

Stewards will be in place in the church and in the Community Centre to help and guide you. Please co-operate with them.  Volunteers are needed to clean the church after each mass. Names can be given to Fr. Hennessy, Noreen Ryan or to the parish centre.

Thank you in anticipation for your support, understanding and co-operation. It is very much appreciated.

Finally may I wish you all a very Happy, Holy and Peaceful Christmas and every blessing and happiness for the New Year

Fr. Hennessy.
