Cemetery Devotions 2021

Due to Covid 19 restrictions Cemetery Sunday has been postponed.  
On Saturday 26th / Sunday 27th June, the three Masses (6pm, 10am & 11.30am) will be offered for the faithful departed in Mornington, Colpe & Stagreenan Cemeteries.  
Following all the Masses we will recite the Prayers for All The Faithful Departed and bless the water.  The Holy Water will be available for collection after each Mass if people would like some to sprinkle on their family graves on their next visit to the Cemetery.  

Please abide by the social distancing guidelines when visiting the church and cemetery.  

Anyone who would like to make a contribution towards the upkeep of Mornington cemetery can do so in the bucket at the church doors on that weekend.
