Vigil Mass on Wednesday 16th March in St Joseph’s Church, Kinvara at 7pm. Masses on St Patrick’s Day, 17th March: 9am in Doorus Church, 10.30am in Ballinderreen Church, and 12 noon in St Colman’s Church, Kinvara. The 12 noon Mass might be particularly suitable for families planning to attend the Kinvara parade then at 2pm.

This will be the first time in three years having the congregation in Church for St Patrick’s Day Mass, so it will be a great opportunity to celebrate the reason for the day, the Christian faith that St Patrick spread with such zeal in Ireland. The fixed parts of the Mass will be celebrated as Gaeilge, and leaflets will be provided so you can follow. The homily will be in English, and there will be variations between the different Churches regarding the language of the readings.
