Our arrangements for Christmas Masses this year are challenging. But we are doing what we can to schedule Masses safely over the Christmas period and I ask for patience and co-operation.

Please bear in mind the following points

• There is no obligation to attend Mass in these times of pandemic.
• People should come to Mass only if it is safe for them to do so.
• Our Christmas Masses will be as follows; 

Christmas Eve (24th December) Mass at 5p.m. 7p.m. and 9p.m

Christmas Day (25th December) Mass at 8a.m. 10a.m. and 12 Noon.

It is necessary to have a ticket to attend any of these Masses.
Tickets maybe had from the Parish Office (021- 429 4332)
(Email: ballinloughparishoffice@eircom.net) during the week and from the Sacristy after weekend Masses.

• Remember that there are twelve days in the Christmas season. Please feel free to come to Mass on any of these other days.
• I encourage people who are unable to attend Mass to come to the crib sometime over the Christmas season.
• Let the light of Christ bring warmth to our hearts and illumination to our lives in these times.
