‘First Friday’ calls
The First Friday of the month of August occurs this week, and so, Fr Hugh will bring Holy Communion to those who are housebound due to illness or old age, in Kinvara Parish this Thursday and in Ballinderreen Parish on Friday. If anybody in the parish is not able to get to Mass at the moment, and would like to receive Communion at home, please contact Fr Hugh, or Catherine, the parish secretary, to be added to the list for a monthly visit.
Rest In Peace
We Pray for
Eva Goodrich, daughter of the late Dan and Rosaleen Goodrich, Mount Scribe
and
Regina Smith, Gort, sister of Derek, Kinvara,
who died recently.
Sincere sympathy to their families.
May Regina and Eva Rest in Peace.

Loop Hearing Aid System
This system is now installed in St. Colman’s Church, Ballinderreen, St. Colman’s Church, Kinvara and St. Joseph’s Church, Kinvara. However, this system will not be available in St. Kieran’s Church, Doorus as the Church is too small for it to be effective.
