Revised times of Masses in our Family of Parishes

13 September 2025

Personnel issues and reduced congregations in some churches along with unsuitable times for some communities all suggest that last year’s winter timetable needs to be revised and reduced

The new timetable will continue to concentrate on the parish churches and the other churches will have Mass once a month. So there will still be ten to twelve Masses celebrated in the Family of Parishes each weekend.

The need for communities to think and look beyond their own local church building and to think instead about parish - and then family of parishes - is an ongoing challenge.

A sustainable timetable needs to provide for having four priests available on a given weekend (each offering three Masses in different places). In order to allow for choice for people, travel by priests and a dignified celebration, some of the Mass times are changing slightly.

This is the new timetable. It will be announced and explained over the next two weekends and will be effective from the first weekend of October.

Irish Catholic Bishops call people to think again about Sunday Mass

31 August 2025

Gathering as a community on the Lord’s Day to celebrate the Eucharist has always been at the heart of our Church

However, changes in society - some brought by the Covid19 pandemic - have seen some people’s connect with Sunday Mass weakened.

Ireland's Catholic Bishops have launched material in print and online with which they invite people to reflect on the profound importance of Sunday Mass.

Welcoming Why Sunday Matters in a video message, Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildate and Leighlin, said, “As we journey through this Jubilee Year of Hope, the Irish Bishops’ Conference invites everyone to. We recognise it not only as an obligation, but also as a precious gift – the source and summit of our faith.”
