PARISH PILGRIMAGE TO THE MASS ROCK IN GLENSHANE FOREST

You are all warmly invited to our Parish Pilgrimage on Sunday 12 June to the Mass Rock in Glenshane Forest, where Fr Gates will say Mass at 1pm.  Please allow 1-2 hours walking from the parking area inside the forest.  A lift can be provided most of the way from the parking area, although the last stretch is a bit rough and muddy so it is unfortunately not suitable for all abilities.  A minibus will also run from Magherafelt Parish Centre to Glenshane Forest, with limited numbers.  Please leave your name in the Parish Office if you require a lift.  Contact Róisín 078 4183 6460 or Joe 075 2353 8402 for further details.  Please bring a packed lunch.

 

GRAVEYARD SUNDAY will be at 12 noon on Sunday 26 June in St. John’s Milltown; there will be no Mass at 12 noon in Magherafelt on that day.
