Knocklyon Parish
The times for Masses on New Year's day 2023:
New Year's Eve: 31st Dec 2022 Vigil Mass @ 19:00
New Year's day: 01 Jan 2023 @ 09:30 and 12:00
Over the past number of months, The Parish Pastoral Council and the parish clergy have been examining the number of masses in the church.
Since the pandemic, the level of attendance at masses on Sundays has declined significantly across the Diocese and Knocklyon is no exception.
We have therefore decided that from the beginning of the new church year – the first Sunday in Advent, we will be combining the 9.00 a.m. and 10.00 a.m. masses on Sunday mornings with a single mass at 9.30 a.m. The hope is that by adopting a 9.30 a.m. mass it will cause least inconvenience to those who currently attend the current masses.
Therefore, from the weekend of 26th/ 27th November the mass times will be as follows:
Saturday 26th - 7.00 p.m. (no change )
Sunday 27th - 9.30 a.m. and 12 noon.
The weekday 10.00 a.m. mass continues as normal.
We hope this change will not cause too much inconvenience for parishioners.
The Parish Pastoral Council wishes to thank all those who indicated their support for the Parish by completing Response forms. Anyone who took away a form for further consideration is encouraged to return the form to the Parish Office as soon as possible.
We are grateful for the support of so many people and we will be following up with each individual over the coming days.
