DV. People of all persuasions and no particular persuasion are most welcome! We welcome back the Parishioners of Killaraue to St. Briaid's Church. We hope you will be warm and comfortable with the new heating system. It turned out to be a major undertaking and we thank our contractors for all their work. You are asked to close the door at the back of the church when vou enter or exit and it is absolutely essential that the door to the aallerv is alwavs kept closed. Otherwise, the heating system will be to no avail. You cant heat an area with the wind blowing through it and we would prefer not to have to close the gallery on a fairly permanent basis. Thanks for your co - operation. GENERAL / CHURCH NOTICES.
