[C] Diocese of Kilmore ~ Marriage Preparation Courses: It is Diocesan policy that each couple attends an ACCORD Pre-Marriage Course. Facilitators giving these courses undergo continued in-service training and supervision. And the sacramental aspect of marriage receives appropriate attention. It is a wise practice to do a course up to a year before the date of your marriage ~ a course only weeks before your wedding has not the same value! All couples are asked to note this request and make suitable & timely arrangements. [D] Would you like to climb Croagh Patrick on Reek Sunday ~ the last Sunday of July?

Please put the above items in plastic bags. Access to the facility is from the Backline and through the steel door leading into the Depot grounds. Only the right - hand door of the container opens. Turn the lever fully to the left before pulling the door open ~ and you'll need to use a little strength! Proceeds from these collections will aid parish funds You think becauseyou don't find prayer easy; because attendance at Mass is not congenial; because your record in the service of God is not a good one, that the tilings of God are not for you. Can't you see that the more inadequate you feel you are, the more you need God's help? Cardinal Basil Hume.
