Saturday evening Mass intentions: Please note that Saturday evening Mass intentions are kept strictly for the recently deceased –
Month’s mind and First Anniversary. Unless a Saturday is free on the upcoming week of the Mass then and only then can intentions for other
than the above be taken.
Collections outside our Church: Thanks to all the organisations who give of their time to collect money for various charities. Permits are
issued for Church Gate collections . As we have no gates to Lackagh church, collections are to be taken up at the entrance to the car park
area and NOT on church grounds which of course is only in accordance with the Church Gate permit granted. Parishioners are complaining
about collectors coming onto the grounds and collecting near the church doors. This is not stated on the permits – it states Church Gate.
Thank you for your cooperation in this.
