RETURNING TO CHURCH FOR MASS
An Urgent Call for Volunteers.
Our aim is to form a Covid 19 Support Committee to assist with the re-opening of our churches for Mass.
In particular we need stewards who can assist people entering or leaving the church and to direct them to available seats.
We require people willing to clean areas and objects in the church after Mass, e.g. seats, microphones, door handles, shrines etc.
If you are willing to give up a little of your time to help out, please contact the parish
Those who are at an increased risk from the virus and/or have been advised to shield themselves are strongly advised to remain at home.
You may feel more comfortable by attending a weekday mass instead of Weekend masses.
Our churches can only accommodate less than 65 people in each church with social distancing. First come, first served.
Please follow the instructions of the volunteer stewards.
The obligation to attend Mass during the period of the pandemic has been removed and remains in place until further notice.
Mass in Gilford on Thursday 2nd July at 10.00 am
and Sunday 5th July at 11.30 am.
Mass in Laurencetown on Friday 3rd July at 9.30 am
and Saturday 4th July at 6.00 pm.
Other Masses will be put on as are required and if a priest is available.
Let’s be patient and start everything slowly and sensibly.
DO LOUGH DERG FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE
 A huge thank you to all who have used the 'DONATE' button on the website. It's a simple way for you to make a contribution to the parish. However, as there is a nominal charge to the parish for each transaction, we would prefer if you did not use this method for your regular weekly/monthly contribution. If you find this method easier than using the 'envelope', why not sign up for a standing order. It saves you searching for the money on a Saturday evening or a Sunday morning and you can amend it at any time. An updated form is available if you click below.
WELL DONE TO OUR SCHOOLS
