Arryn is the son of Paul and Sorcha Lyness, grandson of Dessie and Ann Nicoletti,

We look forward to hearing great things from this young man in the future!!

The Little Sisters of the Assumption have worked in Ireland for over 120 years including a mission for many years in Belfast, particularly nursing sick people at home.

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.
