Notices

I’d like to thank all those who support the maintenance of our Parish and myself in a generous way

It means a lot not to have to worry about Parish or Personal Funds….

I’ve put out the Weekly Boxes for 2023.

Unlike previous years I’ve put out all Boxes associated with Parishioners regardless of whatever way you give……..

Offerings can be made using:

• The Weekly Envelopes
• By Direct Debit
• Perhaps an annual basis by Cash or Cheque
• Through this Donate Button
• Or simply anonymously via the basket collection.

Choose the option that suits yourself………

Anybody who hasn’t a box and would like one let me know.

Thank You

Fr Dave

The 27th of November is the first Sunday of Advent marking the beginning of the church year

At Barryroe the musical setting of the Mass is changed every three years and this Sunday will be a new composition by parishioner Denis O’Regan who also brings us the live stream.

Denis says:

”Much of the music has a contemplative style.  It uses ‘word painting’ to bring to life the spiritual essence of the liturgy. “

“Many thanks to Marian O’Brien, Anne-Marie, Evelyn and the Barryroe Choir - for their commitment to rehearsals and willingness to take on the challenge!  It’s great to welcome new choir members Aishling, Caoimhe, Isla, Paraic and Saoirse and not too late to join the choir for Christmas rehearsals.”

"The music brings a fresh new start to the year and the promise of beautiful choral moments at Christmas."
