Parish Announcements/Newsletter 29 November 2020

Mass

Following the government announcement that all parts of the country will move to Level 3 restrictions with modifications from Tuesday, 1st December, public worship will resume from that day. These restrictions will be similar to the ones in place before 26th October when churches closed for public worship.

From Tuesday, weekday mass will take place at 10:00am and 50 people can attend in St Joseph’s Church. A further 30 people can attend mass in the Hall in the Parish Centre. On Sundays, mass will be celebrated in St Michael’s Church at 9:30am and 40 people are permitted to attend. The Glanmire Parish mass is available through the live stream on the Glanmire parish website.

As before, 2 metre social distancing is required while members of the same household can sit together. The wearing of face coverings is expected and no gathering of people is to happen outside the church building.

We are deeply grateful to volunteer stewards and those who sanitise the churches. In order for public worship to resume safely from we will again be indebted to these volunteers and will need your help.

Dues Envelopes

The envelopes for the Autumn Dues that support the priests of the parish will be distributed to households this week. Please return your envelope to Eileen in the Parish office, Ollie in the Sacristy, or directly to Fr Pat or Fr John.

Offertory Envelopes

Would those who kindly use the envelopes for the Offertory Collection collect your new 2021 set from Eileen in the Parish Office over the next couple of weeks.
