Triduum of MassesAs a gift this Christmas, why not include a Triduum of Mass card. These are available

in the Parish Office. The Masses will be celebrated on 26, 27, & 28 December 2020. Proceeds from these cards will be donated to the local St. Vincent de Paul Society and Irish Missionaries in Peru, South America.

Praying From Home this Advent / ChristmasThe Odhran Pastoral Area is putting together a Prayer Card (above left) that can be used at home to celebrate the seasons of Advent

and Christmas. As the level of restrictions on the number allowed to gather during Christmas has not been clarified we have to prepare for a Christmas like no other. Why not pray as a family or if I am on my own at home join a neighbour and pray the significant moments of the seasons of Advent and Christmas? The Prayer Card will link us as a Pastoral Area with each other and also will link us with our local parish churches as we will broadcast from each parish the moments of Advent and Christmas. The distribution of

these cards will begin this coming week so please visit your local church and there will be copies of the Prayer Card available for collection. Do take a few for neighbours & family members who may not be in a position to collect the Prayer Card themselves.

people through the desert for 40 years. It seems, even in Biblical times men avoided

asking for directions
