Strict adherence to the guidelines laid down by the Public Health Authorities and the Catholic Bishops of Ireland 

to ensure that the church will be a safe place for people to attend at Mass are being observed.

We continue the search for volunteers to form teams of ushers and sanitizers who are willing 

to help to keep the church safe for public Masses. 

Please volunteer by giving in your name by phone – 052-7443447 or email – [email protected]

The numbers of such volunteers have a direct impact on the amount of Masses we can celebrate in Cahir.

To attend any available Sunday Mass, you will need to book a place or places at the Parish Office. This can be done by phone or email. 

You will be asked to give your name and contact telephone number to facilitate contact tracing if needed. 

Please arrive approx 15 mins before the service.
