The Bishop of Meath, Most Rev. Tom Deenihan, has issued a new Pastoral Letter on the future of parish life in our diocese. This letter reflects on what it means today to belong to a parish community, and how each parish is called to be a place of welcome, faith, and mission. We encourage all parishioners to read the letter, reflect on it, and pray for the future of our parish family. You can download it here:

The Saturday vigil Mass (6pm) at the Cathedral is our new Youth Mass - for young people to serve and grow in faith. From proclaiming the Word to lifting spirits in song, every role is a chance to live our faith in action. Sign-up for a role now!

And it’s not just for volunteers—everyone’s invited. Come as a family, bring a friend, and be part of something uplifting.

On Gaudete Sunday, 14 December, we celebrate Baimbinelli Sunday.

We invite all children, families and parishioners to bring the baby Jesus figure from your home crib - even your whole crib - to any of our parish masses, either Saturday evening or Sunday, 14 December.

After each mass, we’ll have a special blessing of the Bambinelli - asking God’s grace upon our homes and families as we prepare for Christmas. All are welcome to be a part of this beautiful tradition, begun by Pope John Paul II.

Our annual Parish Choral Service takes place on Sunday, 14 December, at 5 pm in the Cathedral.

All are welcome as we begin the Advent season in prayer and song.

We especially welcome 6th class pupils from our parish schools and families. During the service, a group of students will join our choirs to sing ‘Away in a Manger’ and place small wrapped gifts on the altar rails as part of our parish collection for the Society of St Vincent de Paul.
