IMPORTANT NOTICE RE GILFORD CHAPEL
As there are still some fumes in the church, Mass will be celebrated in Laurencetown Church on Thursday at 10.30am and St. Colman's Bann PS on Friday at 1.030am
St. John's Church will reopen for Mass on SUNDAY MORNING (6th)AT 11.30am
 This weekend, we welcome back Fr. Tony O’Riordan to our 6.00pm Mass in Laurencetown. Fr. O’Riordan is a Jesuit Priest and is one of over 1000 priests appointed by Pope Francis as a Missionary of Mercy for Jubilee Year.
These Missionaries, a sign of the “Church's maternal care for the People of God" , have been given the special authority to forgive even those sins reserved to the Apostolic See. This Lenten initiative of prayer and reconciliation, began on Friday 28th March and will be celebrated in dioceses around the world until Saturday April 29th. The Pope has chosen a particularly significant motto:"You are my hope" (Psalm 71:5).
The goal of the event is to refocus the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the life of the Church’s pastoral work. Fr. O’Riordan will be available for Confessions from 5.00pm on Saturday evening in Laurencetown until 5.45pm this weekend and next weekend.

ENTRANCE TO LAURENCETOWN CEMETERY
Due to health and safety concerns regarding the stone wall to the side of Laurencetown Cemetery (beside Broad Oaks), this entrance has been closed to all traffic. We apologise for any inconvenience. We are currently looking at all options regarding the repair or replacement of the wall.

 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.
