Happy Easter!

A very happy Easter to all parishioners of Ballinderreen and Kinvara. May the joy of Jesus’ Resurrection fill you with hope. Thank you to all who have been involved in the Holy Week ceremonies in the Churches of the parishes: choirs, sacristans, Eucharistic Ministers, altar servers, readers, basket collectors, those who prepared the Churches, cut palm, and various other roles.

Trócaire

Thank you to all who have used the Trócaire boxes in your homes during Lent. Please return the box to the Church as soon as possible, now that Lent is over, so that it can be forwarded on to Trócaire. You can place your Trócaire box in the box in the sanctuary in the Churches during Mass times.

Easter Dues Collection

The Easter dues envelope is to be found at this time of the year in the envelope box for those who contribute to the parish using that system. For those not using the envelope box, there are Easter Dues envelopes available at the entrances to the Churches. The dues collections during the year fund the priest’s salary as well as other expenses of the diocese relating to priests. Thank you to those who have already sent the envelope in.
