During the last time of restriction (March – June) our Sunday Mass time was at 11am, however, during this time Fr. John and Fr. Ciarán will celebrate two Masses each Sunday in Ashbourne Church at 10am and 12.30pm.

Intentions from other weekend Masses will be moved to these times and the relevant families will be notified.
In celebrating the 10am Sunday Mass in Ashbourne Church it establishes a greater bond with our sister Church of St. Patrick’s in Donaghmore.

All Mass Times
Sunday @ 10am & 12.30: Ashbourne {via Parish Cam}
Monday – Friday @ 10am: Ashbourne {via Parish Cam}
The Church will open after the final Mass for personal prayer.
(Note: Changes from this opening time will occur due to Weddings/Funerals or other various celebrations taking place in the Church).

Parish Sacramental Programme
Friday, November 20th 2020

Parish Sacramental Programme
Ashbourne Donaghmore Parish holds Sacramental Preparation Classes for Catholic children who attend a school where Catholic Religious Instruction for Sacraments is not on the Curriculum.

If you wish your child to prepare for First Holy Communion and Confirmation a two-year Sacramental Preparation Programme must be completed.
Classes are held in the Parish Hall after school hours. New classroom arrangements are in place to comply with Government requirements during the current pandemic situations.
If you have not returned your form, please do immediately.
Post box for complete forms is available at the door of the Parish Office or forms may be posted to the office also.

Places this year will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Covid Restrictions mean that class groups must be smaller than previous years, and even though we are moving to the Parish Hall for greater space, there must be a strict limit on numbers.

For more information please contact the Parish Office which is contactable:
Monday – Friday 9.30am – 2pm
by telephone: 01 8353149
or e-mail: ashbournedonaghmoreparish@gmail.com
