Mark’s Gospel was the first of the Four Gospels to be written. On five Tuesday evenings from 23 February to 23 March, facilitated by Fr Gerard McCarthy SVD, we will journey through the Passion narrative of this Gospel, attempting to grow in our understanding of the final days of Jesus, leading to the great event of the Resurrection.
Interested? Just drop an email to pastoral@galwaydiocese.ie and you will be sent a link to the Zoom meeting platform.

Because of government Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, at the moment, we cannot have a congregation in the Churches for public worship. Instead, all Masses will be streamed online, at the times for the temporary schedule during the pandemic, except that Saturday evening Vigil Masses will be combined into one Mass at 7pm, and Sunday Masses will be combined into one Mass at 10.30am. If anybody prefers to change an anniversary or other booking in the context of this situation, that will be no problem.

St Joseph’s Church in Kinvara and St Colman’s Church in Ballinderreen remain open throughout each day for personal prayer. Please sanitise your hands on the way in and out, and maintain physical distancing if there is anybody else in the Church at the time.

The Trócaire boxes for Lent 2021 have arrived and they are available in the porches of St Joseph’s Church in Kinvara and St Colman’s Church in Ballinderreen. As our usual distribution methods through the Church congregation and the schools are not possible this year, it would be good if you could take a Trócaire box from the Church porch in the days ahead. If anybody would like to distribute Trócaire boxes to the houses in your area, in a safe way respecting all Covid restrictions of course, it could be a practical contribution to Trócaire for this Lent.
