The journey continues, the questions arise

. . . about ourselves, our life and even our eternity. Let’s make use of a special Facebook Group Page ( a selection of pages in different age categories if necessary) from the different places we have met – schools in Ballymurn and Crossabeg from other schools or retreats when we were all younger – […]

Let’s join this world event

Each evening when I lock up our two churches – Ballymurn and Crossabeg – around 9 or 9.3 0 pm, I’m always surprised to find one or two candles, sometimes more, still flickering in the twilight of the evening glow of the church. People calling one by one or in pairs, quietly to pray and […]

First Holy Communion and Patrons

Now that we have an exit strategy from the Government and all going well into the future . . . we are able to see where we might be going in the weeks ahead. First Holy Communion will not be taking place unfortunately, until around September or early into October and in this context, after […]
