New Mass Schedule

A new schedule of Masses for the pastoral area will come into operation on the weekend of Saturday 31st december 2011 / Sunday 1st January, 2012.

Each parish has had to make sacrifices to meet the limitations of fewer and older clergy being available for appointment in the diocese.

This new Mass rota is worked out on the basis of the diocesan directive whereby each priest is limited to three masses at weekends. With six priests in the pastoral area, the schedule takes account of the possibility of one priest being absent. Hence 5 priests will take responsibility for 15 masses at weekends from the weekend of Saturday 31st December / Sunday 1st January.
