Holy Week and Easter Masses for the Family of Parishes

On Monday 30 March 2026 the website at barryroe.ie will close

The priests of the Family of Parishes have been discussing the online presence of the six parishes. They state "we are very aware of the call from the bishop to share resources, to build sustainable ways of ministry across the parishes in the light of falling budgets and to engage parishioners more in the mission of the Church locally."  The following steps are to be implemented:

One website

From 30 March 2026 the six parishes will be served by the one website at onefaith.ie. Any visitors to barryroe.ie will automatically be forwarded to that website.

Social Media

Social media platforms for individual parishes are to close and people will be invited to follow a new Family of Parishes Facebook Page.  Therfore the Facebook Page at @BarryroeParish will be closed.

Live Stream Masses

Live Stream Masses will continue to be available from Clonakilty and Rosscarbery only. The last livestream Mass from Barryroe will take place on Sunday 15 March 2026.  Requiem Masses for funerals will continue as requested by families and Funeral Directors.

End of an Era

The website at barryroe.ie was launched on Tuesday 17 March 2020 as a response to the COVID pandemic and featured the first livestream from Fr Dave O'Connell broadcast from an upper room of the presbytery on the feast of Saint Patrick. As the website developed it included:

  • A rota system for welcoming stewards to assist with distanced seating
  • Video instructions on the Act of Spiritual Communion and When you cannot attend a funeral
  • Recordings of the Mysteries of the Rosary
  • A section for Reflection, Meditation and Prayer
  • A resource for the Choir to learn their individual parts of the sung liturgy
  • An online facility to request dates for Baptism and Marriage
  • An Email subscription service to receive featured articles and notices direct to email

What actions to take

Barryroe email subscribers can subscribe at onefaith.ie/subscribe

Facebook followers can follow the Family of Parishes Page (soon to be announced on the Barryroe Facebook Page before it is closed)

Livestream Mass is available at onefaith.ie/livestream

Pope Leo XIV sends a note to Bishops inviting them to embed Vatican News' new video widget in the web pages of dioceses, parishes, and organizations linked to the Catholic Church

“Dear brother, this initiative by Vatican News is a tool for evangelization; it offers an opportunity to create a network and exchange gifts between Rome and the Church in your country. It is a way for your parishes and communities to constantly obtain information from the primary source.”

Pope Leo XIV

“The spread of this new tool,” said Andrea Tornielli, Editorial Director of the Dicastery for Communication, “can serve to combat the phenomenon of fake news by allowing immediate access to the original source of news and texts, as emphasized by the Holy Father in the note with which he wished to support this new initiative.”

This feature can be found at the foot of the homepage of this website.

Having been prepared by an independent accountant, the finance committee approved the accounts for the parish for 2025. Members: Michele O'Dwyer (chair), Vince O'Donovan, and the clergy of the six parishes.

Notes

The committee:

  • 109k for works in Barrryoe completed in 2024.
  • 60k for additional works in Barryroe (repairing wall, removing buildings, repair to house roof, etc.)
  • 50k for works in Courtmacsherry
  • 10k from 2023 income tax relief and 10k from 2024 income tax relief appear as a single figure in 2025.
  • Property tax was paid inconsistently in previous years; it will be paid for 2026 forward by standing order in March.
  • Since the large bequest in 2023 is for Courtmacsherry church and not the parish, the parish's reserves were approx. €30,000.00 on the first of the year, approx €320,000.00 remaining in Courtmacsherry's bequest.
  • We await the bequest of Ms Terry Dwyer.
