The Church will re-open for Mass (with social distancing) on Easter Monday. All Easter Ceremonies will be via webcam. Thank you for your understanding and patience in this regard.
The new Envelope boxes, which commence on Sunday 11 April, are available for collection at the back of Castledawson Church and in the café in the Parish Centre. They are arranged in alphabetical order by area. We ask those who are able to call and collect during the day Monday-Sunday and, if possible, to collect a neighbour’s who may be unable to do so. This will mean that there will be fewer boxes that have to be delivered, in the interests of public safety.
LENT During the season of Lent people are invited to undertake some form of self-denial & to contribute towards the poor. We also invite people to join us each weekday (by webcam) during Lent for Mass at 11.00am or 7.30pm & to join with us in the recitation of the Rosary beforehand at 10.40am and 7.10pm. The following link may be a useful prayer resource for families – armaghprays.com/lent-2021 We pray that despite the current lockdown restrictions this Lent will be a season of great grace and renewal for you & your family. WELCOME TO THE PARISH FAMILY Today we greet Tiernan Hugh McGillian and Keiva Louise Scott who were baptised recently. |
