As driving to the venue will be severely restricted, it may be in your interest to travel as a group by bus.

A Coffee Morning will be held on Sunday next 12 August, following 10am Mass in Boher at Boher Community Centre and 11.30am Mass in Murroe outside Church, to raise funds for Fr Tommy Laffan’s project in Kenya. We hope you will support our coffee morning.

Murroe Community Council: The questionnaire concerning the need for a community car to aid people in our parish in getting to their medical/hospital appointments is being distributed as widely as we can manage. It is vital that we get feedback (i.e. people who are in need of such a service returning the filled forms to the address given) in order to increase the likelihood of obtaining such a service. If you do not receive a form through your letterbox, there are copies available in the church, post office, Sean English Shop and the Spar Shop. We are required to complete the survey before mid-August hence the need to get people to return the forms by August 6th.
