Ní imithe uainn atá siad, ach imithe romhainn.
They are not gone from us, but gone before us.
November is a time for remembering and praying for our loved ones who have gone before us and whose loss we feel.
The Annual November Remembrance Mass takes place here in the Church of Sts. Mary & Peter on Thursday November 7th at 7 p.m.
“Let us pray for the Church, that she may adopt listening and dialogue as a style of life at every level, allowing herself to be guided by the Holy Spirit towards the world’s peripheries.”
You are all welcome to St. David’s Church, Johnstown on Friday 9th June 2023 where a special Mass will be celebrated at 6.30 p.m. to mark the 70th Anniversary of Canon John Piert’s Ordination and the 60th Anniversary of Fr. John Hayes’ Ordination. A reception will be held afterwards in Árus Lorcáin.
