Each January we are required to revise our register of general vestry people. All parishioners over the age on 18 are entitled to register. Only registered members can serve on the Select Vestry or vote at the annual Easter General Vestry Meeting.

If you have joined the parish in the last year or have not previously registered, this is a good opportunity to do so. Parishioners living within the parish boundary – see the map here – should complete Form 1, those living outside the parish boundary should complete Form 2, before 31 January.

Please contact the Rector if you want to check if you are already on the register.

Join us this evening 29th January at 7.30 for some light-hearted fun at the first quiz of the New Year. As always, a couple of households can team up if desired and the winning team will receive a €30 Just Eat Voucher. Parishioners and Friends welcome – get the link from the Rector.

At the moment, all our Christmas Services are fully booked except for Christmas Morning at 8.30 where there are currently 20 spaces left.

You can book a place here – please use a separate line for each person booking.

NB: If you have booked places at a service and your plans change, please email or text – 087 9091561 – the Rector to remove your names and free up the spaces. If you wish your names to go on a waiting list for a particular service, please contact the Rector.

All Christmas services will be live-streamed on our website and the 11pm and 10.30am services will be recorded and available to view later.

In addition, all Sunday services in the run up to Christmas will be Holy Communion so everyone should have an opportunity to receive the Sacrament if they wish.

Cocooners can arrange to receive Holy Communion at home before Christmas- contact the Rector.

NB Limited places left in all services except for Christmas Day @ 8.30 which has lots of availability.

As strange as it sounds, places will need to be booked for our four Christmas services this year: 3pm & 11pm on Christmas Eve and 8.30am & 10.30am on Christmas Day.

Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and we will put a waiting list in place if necessary. In order to do this, click the link to your preferred service time (below) and add in the names of your family members individually on separate lines.

If you have any trouble with this please contact the Rector directly. Please only book for one service, and if your plans change and you cannot avail of your place, please let me know in advance.

All services will be available to view on our website and later on Facebook, so no-one has to miss out.

Thank you for your cooperation in these extraordinary challenging times.
