Church News
A reminder that there will be a special Friday evening mass at 7.30pm every Friday during Lent. Lent is a wonderful time to do a little bit of spiritual Spring cleaning as we prepare for the lovely season of Easter.
The annual Spring station masses were always held in people’s houses but are now offered in the church. Each station mass is offered to ask God’s blessing on every home in the parish. This year’s masses will take place in St. Nicholas’s Church, Ballyduff on Monday March 21st at 7.30pm and on Monday March 28th at 7.30pm.

Happy are those who take life day by day,
Complain very little and are thankful
For the small things in life
