As the virus situation did not favour the celebration of Masses in the cemeteries during the Summer, instead for this year, we will have the Masses as part of our November prayer for the dead. With the deterioration in weather conditions at this time of year, Masses will be celebrated in the Churches for those buried in the cemeteries, and Fr Hugh will bless the graves in the days leading up to the Mass.

 

The dates are as follows:

For Mount Cross Cemetery, and other cemeteries of Kinvara Parish: Friday 12th November 2021 at 7pm in St Colman’s Church, Kinvara.

 

 

 

For Drumacoo Cemetery, and other cemeteries of Ballinderreen Parish: Friday 19th November 2021 at 7pm in Ballinderreen Church.

 

 

 

For Doorus and Parkmore Cemeteries: Friday 26th November at 7pm in Doorus Church.

 

 

The Mount Cross and Drumacoo cemetery committees will hold collections in conjunction with the Masses, for the costs involved in the upkeep of the cemeteries, and it would be good to support them, considering that no collections have been possible during the whole pandemic period.
