Chalice with the Precious Blood for Holy Communion
Unfortunately for anyone with gluten/wheat intolerance, the reception of Holy Communion under the species of the Body of Christ (The Host) can have health side effects.
To facilitate anyone with gluten/wheat intolerance we now have separate “gluten-free” hosts which can be received, not from Eucharistic Ministers but from the Priest.
First Friday Visits to the Housebound
Holy Communion is brought to our ill or housebound parishioners normally on the First Friday of every month.
If you, or someone you know, would like a First Friday visit, please let us know by contacting the Parish Office at:
01 4524702 or email: olmcfirhouseparish@gmail.com

All are welcome for quiet prayer.

Morning and Evening Prayer
Monday evening Rosary for our young people. Are you concerned about reluctance of many young people to embrace the faith? If so, please join us on Monday evenings at 6.00 pm in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Ballycullen Avenue, to pray the Rosary for this special intention. It will take only 15 minutes or so. The Rosary can also be viewed online.
All are welcome.
Weekday morning Rosary: After 10.00 am Mass each morning the Rosary is prayed by an ad-hoc group of parishioners at the back of the church. Anyone who would like to join in is very welcome.
Tuesday Morning Prayer Service
There is no Mass in the parish church on Tuesdays. Instead, we have a service provided by some of our Ministers of the Word and Ministers of the Eucharist. We are grateful to these volunteers for their willingness to provide this service. It has become a necessary but vital part of parish life.
The service consists of a penitential rite, reading of the word of God (scripture readings of the day), intercessory prayers and distribution of Holy Communion. No doubt, in future, we will need, and can expect to see further lay involvement in parish ministry.
Miraculous Medal Novena
Every Monday after 10.00 am Mass we have this short novena consisting of four special prayers and prayer for our own intentions.
