Change of Mass times
The number of Sunday Masses in Ss. Peter & Paul's Church will be reduced from 3 to 2, commencing on Sunday 6th October 2013. Mass will be at 10.00am and 11.30am on Sunday, while the Vigil Mass will continue to be at 6.30am on Saturday. We regret this change. The decision was made by the Parish Pastoral Council due to the reduced number of priests in the parish following the appointment of Fr. John McManus as Parish Priest of Ballagh. He will not be replaced. Also, Baptisms will take place on Saturdays at 2pm in future.

Farewell to Fr. John
Sadly, this week we way farewell to Fr. John McManus who on Friday next, 2nd August, will be taking up his duty as Parish Priest of Ballagh and will be living in Ballyleague. He replaces Fr Ray Browne who is now Bishop of Kerry. Fr. John has worked in the parish since September 2001 and was extremely hard working and dedicated as he made a major contribution to the spiritual life of the parish. Immensely popular, he will be sorely missed but he can be assured of the good wishes and blessings of all whose lives he enhanced by his ministry and preaching.
Bishop Ray Browne
On Saturday next, 3rd August, we are happy to welcome the new Bishop of Kerry, Most Rev. Ray Browne, to Ss. Peter & Paul's Church, Athlone where he will celebrate the Vigil Mass at 6.30pm and he will meet parishioners after Mass. Bishop Ray is the first bishop in Ireland to be appointed by Pope Francis. He can be assured of a warm welcome in the church where he received all the sacraments, from Baptism to Ordination to the priesthood. It is fitting the Bishop Ray's Cost of Arms includes St. Peter's key and St. Paul's sword.
