5th Sunday of Lent - 18th March 2018

On Sunday next, Palm Sunday, the priests of our Parish Cluster (Bohola, Carracastle, Charlestown, Kilmovee, and ) will be available to celebrate with you the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

There will be a priest, in some cases two, in each of the Parish Churches of the Cluster. This is an opportunity to celebrate God’s forgiveness as we prepare for the great celebration of Holy Week and Easter.

Confessions will take place from 6pm and conclude at 7pm unless there is need to continue beyond that time.

The priests of our cluster are Fr Stephen O’Mahony (Bohola), Fr Gerry Davey (Carracastle), Frs Tommy Johnston and John Doherty (Charlestown), Fr Vincent Sherlock (Kilmovee), Frs Michael Quinn and Pat Lynch (Kiltimagh) and Frs Dermot Meehan and Michael Joyce (Swinford). Three of these priests (Frs John Doherty, Pat Lynch and Michael Joyce) are retired but continue to assist in the parishes where they live in retirement. We are indeed lucky to have them and grateful for their willingness to assist with ministry in this cluster.

On Palm Sunday evening the priests will travel to parishes within the Cluster to give our parishioners the opportunity of celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation with a priest, other than the usual priest in the parish.

Please consider coming along on Palm Sunday evening to Kilmovee Parish Church (or one of the other churches) to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
