On or near the Feast of All Souls, a special Mass of Remembrance is celebrated in our parish for all our deceased loved ones. As a Parish community, we now hope to commemorate our deceased parishioners in two very special and everlasting ways:

Firstly, we think it fitting to establish a dedicated Altar of Remembrance on which a Parish Memorial Book will be placed as a perpetual reminder of all our deceased parishioners.

Secondly, we also wish to provide families and friends of our deceased parishioners - and benefactors - the option to dedicate individual/family Memorial Plaques which will be permanently mounted on the walls around this Altar.

A “Memorial Plaque” brochure, available after Mass in the sacristy, contains more details of these plans. We hope you share our view that these plans provide a befitting memorial to our deceased loved ones and that you will support our endeavours.

Saint Therese Relics Thanks The Pilgrimage of Saint Therese around our country and diocese was a resounding success and a source of many blessings and consolations for all those who came to venerate her relics or prayed in spirit with them. Could we thank the national organisers, our diocesan events team and office staff, Fr. Paul Brady, our parish clergy and religious, especially the Little Sisters, Canons Boyle and Freeney and the parishioners, officers and ministries in Saint Mary’s and the Cathedral, Mgr. Carlin and the diocesan choir, our diocesan schools and organisations, and all those who gave so generously of their time, talent and services. All those who experienced the joy of St. Therese among us are grateful to those whose hard work made this pilgrimage so fruitful.

St. Mirin’s Chaplaincy Centre: Sunday Mass is available at 5pm on Sundays and at 12.30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes- day and Thursday.
