Summer Time Arrangements: As was announced some weeks ago, the schedule of weekend parish Masses will be reduced, beginning next weekend – running until September.

Cullen, Dromkeen and Templebraden churches will not have weekend Masses.

But please be clear: these three churches will be open for the usual hours, seven-days-a-week, each week.

Open for visits and personal prayer, open for Baptisms, weddings, funerals.

Weekend Masses: Saturdays - Nicker, 6pm, Kilteely, 7.30pm. Sundays - Lattin 10.00am, Emly 11.15am.

These "cutbacks" are necessary to enable our priests to assist the diocesan Lourdes and Knock Shrine Pilgrimages, the Holy Cross Novena, and to take some holiday time.

People may be disappointed but the priests trust you will understand, and be faithful to the Mass.
