Christmas Masses in Kinvara and Ballinderreen Parishes

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we will celebrate the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Times will be as in recent years, with some practical differences to take account of the pandemic situation. The Kinvara Christmas Eve Masses will be celebrated in St Colman’s Church this year (inside), rather than St Joseph’s, so as to avail of the larger space and extra entrance doors at St Colman’s. Attendance inside Ballinderreen Church on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be kept to 200 people, with doors opening 45 minutes before the two Masses. For all Masses in both parishes, please allow for 1m distancing from those not of your household. Speakers will be turned on outside all the Churches for anybody who is outside or in your car, and Holy Communion will be brought to those outside.
