Parish Partnership – An Opportunity

Due to the continung decline in the number of priests serving in the Archdiocese of Dublin (like in every other Irish diocese), parishes are joining together to share personnel, services and resources so as to more effeciently look after the needs of parishioners of all parishes.

Please visit the Archdiocese of Dublin website page which gives more details on Building Hope in Parish Partnership: https://dublindiocese.ie/category/building-hope/

Firhouse Parish has teamed up with:

in the Tallaght Deanery; in a partnership, which provides opportunities for everyone in these parishes to avail of services in their partner parishes as well as their own.

With this arrangement families can now more easily have their children involved in various sporting activities like hurling, football, basketball, etc. on Saturday and Sunday mornings and still be conveniently able to attend Holy Mass as a family in one of these partner parish churches.

To see Contact Details for each of the Parishes, location of the Churches and addresses, please see details below.
