Notices
  • Farewell to Fr. Pat Gilbert
    On Wednesday Bishop Fintan announced his clerical
    changes for the Diocese of Killaloe, These changes
    impact on Birr Parish and the Brendan Cluster of parishes with the retirement of Fr, Pat Gilbert as school
    chaplain to St. Brendan’s Community School. Fr. Pat
    is undertaking a sabbatical for a year with a view to
    returning to pastoral ministry in the Diocese in 2022.
    Fr. Pat will be greatly missed. He has been central to
    the lives and families of so many whilst serving in the
    role of school chaplain for 32 years. He has celebrated
    the joyful moments with the marriages of so many of
    his past students and the baptising of their children.
    His enthusiasm and love of sports and music enabled
    him to make many connections. In his school role as a
    teacher he had a profoundly positive influence,
    nurturing the faith and religious formation of our young
    people. Fr. Pat has been there for the painful and sad
    occasions bringing solace and hope. His wise and reflective counsel has been a great light and strength to
    so many,
    We wish him every blessing on the next stage of his
    journey. May he have continued good health and inner
    serenity. We thank him for his work and ministry as a
    good and faithful priest here in Birr Parish and with
    sadness bid him farewell.    July 3, 2021
  • First Holy Communion & Confirmation Ceremonies
    Following on from Government and NEPHET announcements on Tuesday it is with sadness that our
    parish celebrations of the Sacraments of Confirmation
    and First Holy Communion have to be postponed. We
    are not in a position to set new dates until after July
    19th pending further government announcements.
    These events are special family occasions and we
    know of the sadness of the young people involved.
    Please God we will be in a position to celebrate these
    sacraments by the end of the summer.    July 3, 2021
