Survey re Mass times in the Cluster Parishes

This will take place on the last weekend of Nov, and will go something like this:” in the light of declining numbers of priests in our pastoral area, and in the event of Masses having to be reduced, which Mass should be retained in this Church?”

Again, “if there were to be a re-organisation of weekend Masses in our Parishes, would you like to have a Sun eve Mass in a central place (e.g. Ferbane)? If so, what would be the most suitable time for such a Mass (6, 6.30, 7.or 7.30PM)?

We are planning to have a Family Mass in Shannonbridge Church, in conjunction with the St V.de Paul Society on Sun 7^th Dec @ 12noon.  All families are welcome.  It would be appreciated if each child could donate a small wrapped Christmas gift, labelled “boy”, or “girl” and the age for which it is suitable.  A member of the SVdeP will be present to collect the gifts.  This offers us all an opportunity to give to a child in need, & your support is greatly appreciated.
