St. Patrick’s Church, Ballyhaunis

Christmas MassesWith Christmas fast approaching, and due to the fact that our congregations are stillrestricted to fifty persons, the Parish Pastoral Council recently discussed and agreed ona programme of Masses for Christmas week.

Our congregations at Christmas are usually very large and there is no way that we canpossibly cater for everyone who might normally attend Mass in person at this time of year. It isalso anticipated that there will be a surge in the numbers of those testing positive with theCovid 19 virus over Christmas.

For that reason we advise those of you who might feel in any way vulnerable to infection thatyou continue to join us on Parish Radio (105.2) and the Webcam: https://www.mcnmedia.tv/camera/st-patricks-church-ballyhaunis
