Carmelites announce decision to leave Knocklyon

As many of you know, the Council of the Carmelites in Ireland have informed the parish of their intention to return the care of the parish to the Archdiocese of Dublin from the 30th January 2022. In light of the depth of feelings generated throughout the parish as a consequence of this decision, the Parish Pastoral Council decided to petition the Council of the Carmelites, requesting that they reverse their decision and continue to maintain their presence in the parish.

 

Updated 31st July 2021

The Parish Pastoral Council has received a response from the Prior Provincial informing the parish that the decision to return the care of the parish to the Archdiocese from the 30th January 2022 remains unchanged. A notice was read at all masses over the weekend of the 31st July / 1st August. This notice together with the correspondence between the PPC and the Prior Provincial.
