Solemnity of All Saints, Friday 1st November 2024

‘The Forerunners of Christ with Saints and Martyrs’ by Blessed Fra Angelico (1387-1455), now in the National Gallery, London.

Mass times for the Solemnity of All Saints 2024 will be as follows:

10am, St Joseph’s, Kinvara

12 noon, St Colman’s, Kinvara

7pm, Ballinderreen

We celebrate a feast of all the Saints in Heaven, those who are in the fullness of God’s Kingdom, not just the canonised or more famous Saints, but all of them. A Saint is someone who has allowed God’s grace to work in his or her life, living in sincere love of God and neighbour, and has been brought to Heaven through union with Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Saints are examples for us, and friends and intercessors. On this Solemnity, we celebrate the communion of the Church of Heaven and Earth.

November Lists of the Deceased
