Masses This Weekend

From Communications Office, Dublin Archdiocese 

SUNDAY MASS OBLIGATION IN CURRENT WEATHER SITUATION

Where weather conditions make it unsafe or where road conditions make it dangerous, imprudent or difficult, there is no obligation to attend Sunday Mass this weekend.

When people are unable to attend Mass it is recommended that they view or listen to the Mass on-line, on television or radio or that they spend a time in prayer as individuals or as a family.

Where serious conditions of access or safety arise regarding a Church building, the Parish Priest or Rector may decide that a Church may remain closed even on Sunday.  

From Fr John Gilligan, Moderator                      
and                                                                                                 Matt O'Sullivan, Chairperson, PPC

Due to the state of the roads and areas around our Churches we are cancelling all Masses in Saggart, Rathcoole, and Brittas this weekend. Mass in Newcastle will go ahead (i.e. Saturday Vigil, 7 p.m. and Sunday, 10.30 a.m.). The diocese supports this decision in the interests of health and safety (see above communication). We hope you are all keeping warm and have enough food.  Please keep in contact with those who are housebound to see they are okay.
