St. Annes:  It seems as though public Masses will not resume until May. Many responsible people are finding this delay in re-opening our churches increasingly hard to accept. We are the only country in Western Europe where this is the case.

The news that the number of people who may attend a Funeral will increase to 25 from April 26^th, is to be welcomed.

The Bishop has granted permission for the resumption of Baptisms, with a limited attendance confined to parents and godparents.

Mass can be heard on the radio at 107.8FM in the Bailieborough area and 92FM in Shercock.

Public Masses are suspended until at least  April 26^th, when it is hoped that some of the current restrictions may be lifted.  All Masses and Parish Funerals can be viewed on the Parish webcam or can be heard by tuning in the radio to 107.8 F.M.

Due to the restrictions, only six guests may participate in a wedding.

Due to Covid restrictions, the Parish Office will remain closed for the foreseeable future. Please feel free to contact Fr. Ultan for assistance on 087 341 8037 or 042 96 65117.
