Lenten Faith Formation

This week’s episode of Fr Robert Barron’s Catholicism Series will be about the Church, and will be held in the Acorn Centre, at Ballinderreen Church at 7.45pm this Tuesday 9th April. Fr Robert faces the issue of sin by Church members and the scandals that have caused so much suffering. He explains how the Church is a sacrament of Christ. We’ll see the life story of Pope John Paul II and we’ll find out what it means to say that the Church is one, holy, Catholic and apostolic. Fr Robert also explains the ideas of infallibility, apostolic succession, development of doctrine and the relationship between the Church and the Eucharist. The final episode, on the Saints, will be screened on Tuesday 16th April in Kinvara Pastoral Centre.

Loop Hearing Aid System

loopThis 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.

In order to avail of this facility please switch your Hearing Aid to the ‘T’ position.

Induction loop systems are invaluable in assisting hearing aid users to understand spoken language, particularly in situations where there is background noise. Hopefully, this will be of great benefit to all hearing aid users.
