Candle Mass
During the month of November we offer a special mass every Wednesday night for all the Holy Souls and it is hard to be believe we are now talking about the final one of these masses. This final mass is a special candle mass which is offered especially for all those who died in the past 12 months. We have automatically included all those who died in our parish during that time but we would also love to include the names of any of your family or friends who died in other areas. If you would like to add someones name you can do so by contacting myself Linda Spillane on 087-9838392.
