We welcome Fr. Donal Kilduff to the Parish of Denn next weekend.

 

Thanks to Pat and Oliver our sacristans, to Dolores Smith our organist and also Emer and Clare Tierney our organist and our cantor in Crosskeys.

 

When Fr. Donal comes, those who have booked weddings over the next few years, could check with him as to whether he is available or not to perform the marriage. I don't come back to do weddings or baptisms as I think it is unfair to the resident priest.

7th October 2018 Day for Life: How can we help? The Catholic community can make a real difference to help solve this problem-to help victims find freedom and live life to the full. There are many organisations working to put a stop to human trafficking and modern slavery one of these. The Santa Marta Group, works internationally to bring the Catholic Church and law enforcement agencies together to eradicate slavery. To read more visit www.santamartagroup.com.
