Bailieborough News. October 19th 2020. Matthew J. Cullen.
Killann Parish: Masses: No public Masses for the time being due to Covid restrictions. Masses will be said at usual Bailieborough times and may be viewed on our webcam or heard on our radio system at 107.8FM. At Level 4 of the Covid plan, weddings and funerals may take place, but with a maximum attendence of 6 people for weddings and 25 people for Funerals. This will be the case for the foreseeable future.
Baptisms: No Baptisms will take place, except in the cases of emergency while we remain in Level 4. When we return to Level 3, Baptisms may take place but only the parents, child and godparents may attend. As people know, the issue is not the gatherings in church, but the gathering that may take place in the home afterwards.
Halloween ‘Fright Night’: Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions we’ve had to cancel our ‘Scary Walk’ night. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused but we must put everyone’s safety first.
Thank you for all your continued support – stay safe and enjoy Halloween as best as you all can. Hopefully we will be back scarier than ever next year!

Paying Our Respects: If you see a hearse, could you stop, stand for a moment as it passes, perhaps take off your cap, and bow your head?
In these times where funerals are limited to only a very few close family our chance to support people during bereavement is limited. So, we wondered if we could revive an old tradition that would show people that their loss is noticed and shared by us all?
It would mean the world to families in a time of sadness.
