7pm, St Joseph’s, Kinvara

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.

The November lists of the deceased are now available at the entrances to the Churches. If you like to participate in this annual tradition, you are welcome to take a list sheet and an envelope and to return them either to the container left out the Church at Mass times, or in offertory collection basket or in the letterbox of the Parochial House in Kinvara or Parish Office in Ballinderreen.
