St. Patrick’s Day Mass Times.

Posted by MSA Reception In Events, Homepage, Redemptorist News

St. Patrick’s Day falls this year on a Tuesday!  The Vigil Mass will be on Monday at 7.15pm,  and Masses on Tuesday will be at 8am, 10am, 12 Noon and 7.15pm.  Because of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade beginning at 12 Noon, and what with road closures and parking restrictions nearby, the 12 Noon Mass will be a simple affair.  People who normally come to Mass at 12 Noon might prefer to come to one of the other Mass times because of the parade and traffic restrictions.

There will be cantor-led congregational singing at the Monday Vigil at 7.15pm, and at the 10am and 7.15pm Masses on Tuesday.
