The Church of the Immaculate Conception, Ballygawley was opened in September 1983 – 40years next year. It is an event that should be marked and celebrated. At this early stage I am asking Parishioners for ideas on how we should do this.
Hello, to all Parishioners,
The Errigal Ciaran Parish has been most fortunate with all the Priests who have served in our Parish.
Fr O’Dwyer has been a great source of strength & comfort to many during his time in Errigal Ciaran, particularly over these last 3 very challenging years. As many of you will know Fr O’Dwyer is currently celebrating his 40th year of priesthood. To acknowledge this remarkable milestone, Fr O’Dwyer has agreed to celebrate Mass in the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday 4th September at 11am, with refreshments in St Ciaran’s Hall to follow.
If you would like to help out in any way, we will be holding a meeting in Kelly’s Inn on Monday 1st August at 8.00pm, in the Upper Room.
Should you need any other information, feel free to contact any member of the Parish Council.
