The GAA  received a communication from Sport Ireland who, in consultation with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht and Sport, have requested the postponement of the Ireland Lights Up walking initiative until the start of February (dependant on the Government guidelines at that time).

In each province there are 3x O’Neills vouchers up for grabs – €2,500, €1,500 and €1,000. Any club that tracks more than 4,000km during the challenge will be entered into the prize draw in their province.

Can everybody please download this MyLife App and join our Bailieborough Shamrocks Page. When you go for your walk or run from Wednesday 14th January to Wednesday, March 3rd track your activity and that will go in our Team Steps total.

Mass at 8.00pm and Mass at Midnight (12pm).

It is difficult to anticipate how large attendances will be this Christmas. With the restrictions, St. Annes can accommodate no more than 100 families safely at each Mass.

In St. Annes there will be Mass on the evening of Saturday 26th December, Sunday, 27th December, Friday, January 1st, Saturday, January 2nd, Sunday, January 3rd, Tuesday, January 5th and Wednesday, January 6th—which all fall within the season of Christmas.

Christmas Confessions: It will not be possible to hold the traditional Christmas penitential service. Parishioners are encouraged to make a sincere Act of Contrition, with a resolve to attend Confessions –when it is possible to do so again.

Masses will be said at usual Bailieborough times and may be viewed on our webcam or heard on our radio system at 107.8FM.

Bailieborough Group of Parishes: Wednesday, December 23rd : 23 December – ‘A Quiet Christmas’ at 7:30pm – Bailieborough – A quiet, reflective service, especially focusing on prayer for those feeling grief this Christmas.

Friday, 25th  December – Christmas Day:

10am – Bailieborough – Holy Communion.

11:30am – Knockbride – Holy Communion.

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.
