Kilmanagh Webcam Fault

Kilmanagh's  webcam is currently offline due to a faulty Eir Phoneline. We hope to have the service restored as soon as possible. This also affects phoning the parish.  Please use my mobile number instead 086 818 0954

 

Thursday Masses

We are considering in whether to return the Thursday evening Mass, at 7pm (I usually have meetings afterwards).  Comments and suggestions welcome.

Parish Cluster

Tullaroan is clustered with Ballycallan & Freshford for pastoral purposes.  This means we share Masses, and other liturgies, and help out in the other parishes when required.  As Fr. Guilfoyle is retired, it falls to Fr.Liam to include Tullaroan in all plans. Should Freshford’s parish priest retire, then that parish will also have to be taken into account in future planning.

Tax Reclaim

Anyone who pays income tax on, salary, pension, investments,

 and who donates €5 per week to the parish,  we may be

able to claim tax back on your donated amount, and at no

extra cost from you.  This is a valuable source of income

for the parish and it doesn't cost you, the donor a penny more. 

 We are grateful to all who take part in this scheme.  Thank you.

Safeguarding Sunday: A Commitment to Protecting the Vulnerable

This Sunday, marks Safeguarding Sunday in Ireland—a day dedicated to reaffirming the Church’s commitment to protecting children, young people, and vulnerable adults. It’s a reminder of our shared responsibility to ensure the Church is a safe and nurturing place for all.

While significant progress has been made in safeguarding, we must continually strive to create a culture of safety, care, and respect. This includes ongoing training for those involved in ministry, clear reporting procedures, and robust support for victims and survivors of abuse.

Safeguarding is not just a policy—it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels safe and respected. On Safeguarding Sunday, let’s commit to being vigilant, supportive, and prayerful in our efforts to protect the most vulnerable among us.

Join us as we reflect on the importance of safeguarding and pray for the strength to continue building a Church that is safe, compassionate, and just for all.

Safeguarding Newsletter

A newsletter on safeguarding in our diocese is available after Mass.  Please take a copy and inform yourself on safeguarding.  It includes a piece on vetting procedures, a message from our bishop and information on counselling services and supports .

Tax Reclaim

 and who donates €5 per week to the parish,  we may be
