Dear Parishioners, due to new Level-5 Restrictions, our churches will open for private prayer only and our masses will continue to be celebrated behind closed doors, for all our safety and protection. In these strange times our thoughts and prayers are with you as we journey together through this Covid-19 Pandemic. 

We hope you are not too stressed by the present challenges we face in our daily lives. Even though our Masses have to be offered privately please be assured that they cover all your intentions everyday. We pray that you and your loved ones will be protected from all illness and anxiety at this time. 

You are all most welcome to join us online for daily Mass and Spiritual Communion on the Imeall Boirne Parishes Facebook Page 

We know that God is always with us every step of the way. That is our strong support and encouragement that sustains us during this current situation. 

Blessings on you and yours at this time. Fr. Damien & Fr. Pat .
