Holy Water

We have purchased a new Holy Water Barrel. It has a tap to make it easy to fill your water bottles. It is placed in the side porch (Church Lane Side). You can get to it from the main body of the Church anytime the Church is open. Please bring your own bottle. Holy Water renews the grace of our Baptism.

Introducing the New Missal – To assist our preparation for changes in some of the words that we pray at Mass from September next, please see the question and answer below. In addition, you may wish to view the brief video and further explanations which are now available on www.catholicbishops.ie. Related topics on the new edition of the Roman Missal are also on www.liturgy-ireland.ie.

Is the Mass changing?

The structure of the Mass is not changing. The order and the actions of the Mass remain unchanged. The readings at Mass are not changed. However, with the introduction of the new edition of the Roman Missal throughout the English-speaking world, we will all notice a change in how the Mass sounds. The translations of a number of our prayer texts from the original Latin have changed – sometimes by a particular word or in the word order. Prayers that we have become used to reciting by memory now have to be relearned. Prayers that we are used to hearing the priest say will sound different to us.

The style of language we will hear and pray may seem more formal to us and perhaps, in parts, more complex. But over time, with the praying of these texts, the sound of the Mass will again become familiar to us.

Eucharist Ministers and Readers:

June 18th at 7pm is the date for the recommitment ceremony for Readers and Eucharist Ministers. We would like new members to join both groups. Please consider putting your name forward either as reader or communion helper.
