We share the deep disappointment that we as a parish cannot celebrate the childrens First Communion this month because of the Covid pandemic. We know they have worked so hard in school preparing for their special day. We will celebrate First Communion when the regulations allow. In the meantime we would ask the children to continue to pray at home with their parents...
With no congregations in the churches at the weekends, and no collections, offerings for the running of the parish have reduced considerably. At this difficult time, the parish continues to incur costs including basic salary for the parish priest, insurance, maintenance, electricity etc.. This is a difficult time for everyone, and we completely understand that some parishioners are suffering a drop in their incomes..
Many thanks to all that have dropped their envelopes into the parochial house and those who have contributed electronicaly into our bank account, also to those who continue to pay by standing order.
We ask where it is possible to make some contribution by
- leaving your envelopes in the letterbox in thre parochial house
- by electronic payment into our Bank - Bank of Ireland - Kilskyre Church Account -
BIC BOFIIE2D. IBAN IE31 BOFI 90 34 45 25116085.

Stay in touch with family and friends and stay safe
God Bless
