Parish of Aghalurcher

Sacraments & Funerals

Celebrating the sacraments is at the core of our parish life. Our big moments in life are marked in a solemn way from womb to tomb.

Here we provide all the details for the celebration of the sacraments in our parish.

Funeral Arrangements

To arrange a funeral ceremony please contact Fr. Jimmy as soon as possible on 028 67721342.

Baptism Arrangements

Baptisms take place First Saturday of the month at 3.00pm and Second Sunday of the month after the 10am Mass in St. Mary’s and after the 11.30am Mass in Holy Cross.

Marriage Arrangements

Congratulations on your decision to get married. It would be helpful if you could give at least 12 months notice of your intention to be married in either of our Parish churches.

Confirmation

Confirmation is celebrated each year in our parish.

Eucharist and First Communion

First Holy Communion

Reconciliation (Confession)

Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) takes place every Saturday in Holy Cross at 12noon but is available at any time by phoning any of the Priest’s.

Housebound and Sacrament of the Sick

Every First Friday week of the month, the priests visit the housebound with Holy Communion. If you are unable to attend Mass due to illness or frailty and would like to be visited by a priest on the First Friday, please feel free to contact Fr. Jimmy or Canon Joe.

Holy Orders

The ongoing life of the church depends on vocations to the priesthood. Our diocese has a director of vocations and we’d be delighted to make an introduction for any interested candidates. Talk to any of the priests to get more information. The Diocesan website may also have useful information about Vocations in our diocese.
