As we enter the second week of Advent and light the second candle we notice the circle is being filled in – quite literally with light. Each week will see an increase in that light until we are drawn to the centre candle, representing Christ. The candles too, represent the journey towards Bethlehem, first undertaken…

We are on the road again! The weeks that lie ahead of us, offer a wonderful opportunity to slow down, reflect and truly take in the gift that is central to Christmas. Already, there are ads everywhere, even in the parish bulletin, about Christmas markets, dinners concerts and more. In themselves, they are all good…

This perhaps comes as no surprise to some – and a massive one to those who thought he won’t do that… From December the 1st 2019, I will be downsizing the hosting package and my involvement in the site. Since James left to pursue another job (I wish him well and thank him for his…

This year, to mark our tenth such gathering, we will have Mass in Kilmovee Church at 5.00pm on Sunday November 24th.

She asked me … “When are confessions in the parish?” It wasn’t an unreasonable question but the answer wasn’t overly-helpful. “Anytime you want” and then I added “but we don’t really have a set time in the parish”. This is the case, of course, but when asked that question, I feel a tinge of guilt…

There will be a Training Session for Kilmovee Altar Servers in Kilmovee Church on Saturday, October 26th, at 11.00am. It should last no longer than one hour and we ask parents to accompany the boys and girls. Many thanks to all who are involved in this ministry in the parish. We are indeed lucky and…

Lately, we told you we are changing the way we’ll be bringing you photos & bulletins etc… This will eventually reduce the space required for storing them on our server which is almost at 25gb… this can not be sustained without a massive investment and unfortunately, that doesn’t seem likely to happen.
