Donal McKeown will celebrate the Vigil Mass with us at 7.30pm on Tuesday

us that evening.
The next

who suffered at that time (1998) and who continue to suffer in any way, because
of what happened then.

Sacred Heart Church Sound/Loop System
A recent
inspection of our sound/loop system in the Sacred Heart Church by the sound engineer,
Michael Kielty, declared that the system is working perfectly. However, Mr Kielty
does advise that those people with hearing aids would better avail of this service
by sitting as close to the wall as possible at the front of the Church. This is
the area where the loop system is most effective. We hope this will help.
