Advice from Archdiocese of Armagh during current covid pandemic.
Covid is still with us, and we are advised to continue to be careful. Use your discretion about wearing masks in crowded places – if you are happier wearing one in Church do so.

Adoration: During November it would bring great blessings to our Parish and Families to do an hour for the Holy Souls. Exposition takes place each Wednesday after Mass until 12noon in St Mary’s Church; each Thursday 10am to 6pm in Church of the Immaculate Conception; each Friday after Mass til 2pm in St Matthew’s Church. THE POWER OF AN HOUR!
Tyrone County Finals: congratulations to the players and management teams of the Errigal Ciaran U15 and Senior Men’s teams who won both their finals on Sunday 30th – County Champions! As was said at the time, you committed and played and won for us all and all who have gone before us – and whom we especially remember during November RIP – keep dreaming and realising your dreams and encourage others to do likewise. Easter Sunday glory comes after a long journey through Lent, and includes the friendship and commitment of Holy Thursday, the pain and struggle of Good Friday, and sometimes the loneliness of Holy Saturday. But worth it all! Enjoy the celebrations and the onward journey! – that includes today Sunday 13th – next step, Ulster! And a final thought – not many Clubs can boast three winning teams on one field on the same day!
