PARISH MISSION.

Many of you who attended our volunteer lunch on Sunday 24th January had the

opportunity to meet with Fr. Brendan McManus, a Jesuit based in Belfast, who is

the author of the book, ‘Redemption Road’. We are delighted to say he has

agreed to lead our parish mission this coming Lent (Friday 11th March to Tuesday
