"Parish Life
(resulting from Covid – 19)
Update:
27th September 2020

With the imposition of Level Three measures in order to address a resurgent Covid-19 crisis in Dublin, all church services will once again be online. Here at St. Mary’s, we will broadcast the 9.30 and 11am Mass on Sundays and the 10am Mass on weekdays Monday - Saturday. We are hopeful that these measures will be short lived and that we will soon be able to bring our community together again. In the meantime we continue to pray for one another, for our country and our world as it lives through these difficult and challenging times.
