During the Summer, we will have the celebration of the cemetery Masses in Kinvara and Ballinderreen Parishes. We lovingly remember the faithful departed and offer Mass for them, and we pray for the consolation of the bereaved. Fr Hugh will bless the graves after each of the Masses.

All are welcome. As is traditional, this year’s First Communion children are especially invited to participate, dressed in their First Communion outfits.
