Hi, all going well. Visited one of the oldest Monastery in Ireland that was ultimately destroyed on Henry VIII’s order to dissolve the monasteries. It was destroyed by English troops around 1560AD.

BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE

November is a special time of prayer and remembrance for all those who have died. The Book of Remembrance will be presented in the Offertory Procession and placed on the altar each day with the names of all who have requested prayers for family and friends.

Due to the large number of requests we are not be able to print all the names in the bulletin.

The names of the sick and those whose anniversaries occur at this time will continue to be printed.



We Need You
We are asking for volunteers to help with:

  • Communion to the Sick and Housebound — We need volunteers for this rewarding ministry. Training will be provided.
  • Church Cleaning 
  • Flower decorating in the church.
  • Offertory — bring up the gifts during Mass. This ministry can be done as a group or as a family.
  • Welcomers — Do you have a smile and like to say hello to people, then this ministry is for you. Greeting people at the front of the church before Mass, and giving them a Bulletin and a hymn book is an important ministry and leaves a lasting impression on our community.

Interested? Please contact the Parish Office


Cushions for the pews are available in a tub at the back of the Church. Please return them after use.

Catholic Mission 2024

World Mission Sunday
October 19-20

Social stigma, poor access to services, and the harsh Mongolian winter mean that the most vulnerable people will often struggle to access the support they need to help them get back on their feet.

Recognising this need, the Church has begun work on the House of Mercy. When complete, the House of Mercy will provide shelter to many in need, including people experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, or those in need of first aid services.

As Pope Francis said during his 2023 visit to Mongolia, “This House of Mercy is meant to be the point of reference for a variety of charitable works, hands outstretched towards our brothers and sisters, struggling to navigate life’s problems. A safe haven, in other words, where people can find a listening ear and an understanding heart."

This World Mission Month, we are called to "Invite everone to the Banquet" (Matthew 22:9) and reflect on how fortunate we are to live in a place we sometimes call the ‘lucky country’.

This week, you’re invited to partner with the Church in Mongolia to help deliver essential services to people who need it most.
