PARISH ANNIVERSARY MASS ~ HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE
Due to ongoing Covid 19 restrictions and the very great need for us to maintain social distance inside buildings, we remind you that only family members of those being remembered attend the Parish Anniversary Masses.
Please remain at home and follow the Mass on the parish webcam. As Covid numbers continue to be a cause for concern, there are only a limited number of seats available. Families remembering the Month’s Mind of a loved one or a First Anniversary must have precedence until the pandemic is over.
At Bishop McKeown’s request, those attending any mass or service in our churches must wear a face mask.
Thank you for your cooperation on these important matters.
PARISH ANNIVERSARY AND MONTH’S MIND MASSES
If parishioners wish to have their loved one prayed for at any Anniversary Friday Mass, you MUST please emailtheir name to Ballinascreen Parish Office by 12 noon on Thursday of the relevant week. e mail address is ballinascreenparish@gmail.com
PLEASE NOTE: First Anniversary and Month's Mind notices should be received the previous week in order for them to be placed in the Bulletin the weekend before the Friday Anniversary Mass.
ANNUAL MASS FOR DECEASED
On Wednesday November 10 at 7.30 pm a special Mass for all our deceased family and friends from Ballinascreen and Desertmartin will be broadcast from Holy Rosary Church. This Mass will ONLY be available on Ballinascreen Parish webcam, as it simply would not be possible to facilitate the huge numbers who would wish to attend.
At this Mass the names of all who have died, were waked or buried in Ballinascreen and Desertmartin since All Souls’ Day 2020 will be read out.
All who have been enrolled in our Online Book of Remembrance will be prayed for at this Mass also.
ONLINE BOOK OF REMEMBERANCE
The parish online Book of Rememberance, for all who have died since this time last year, will be open during the month of November. Names of deceased loved ones who have died since November 2020 may now be added to this online book. Parishioners from Ballinascreen or Desertmartin who wish to have the name of their recently departed loved one added to this online book are invited to please email the name to ballinascreenparish@gmail.com
This online Book of Remembrance will be regularly updated during November and will be available to view on the Ballinascreen Parish website. https://www.parishofballinascreen.com
If you submitted name(s) of deceased loved ones last year please do NOT resubmit these names again as their names are already in the Book of Remembrance.
