Parish Arrangement for this Summer: From Tuesday, June 11th, Fr. Martin Gilcreest C.C. will be administrator of the Parish until a new Parish Priest takes up residence in late August. Fr. Joseph Bature will be arriving from Rome on Wednesday, June 26th to help Fr. Martin during the summer months and he will be based in the Parish Centre, Bailieborough. Fr. Joseph will say the weekday Masses in Bailieborough, officiate at Baptisms and will alternate between all the Churches in the Parish at weekends. Fr. Martin will look after any Funerals that may occur.
As Fr. Joseph does not drive, he will have to be collected from the Parish Centre in order to respond to emergency calls. If any parishioner is available to do so, it would be greatly appreciated, if they offered to drive him from Bailieborough to Killann or Shercock on a few occasions over the summer.
