On this Saturday and Sunday we invite you to bring the Baby Jesus from your home crib to the masses in the Imeall Boirne Parishes if you are able to attend, or alternatively, you can hold them in your hand while watching the Masses on our Facebook Page as they will be blessed by Fr. Damien and Fr. Pat . When we pray at our family crib this Christmas, may we be thankful for the gift of each other. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
