Thought for the day: In the words of John’s Gospel, John the Baptist came as a witness, to speak for the light, the true light who was coming into the world. In this season of Advent, the Baptist points us towards the coming one and he invites us to reflect on our need of the light of Jesus in the darkness of our lives. Darkness means many things: a sense of being lost, a lack of direction, helplessness, sin or indeed lack of faith. This Christmas, may the God who said “Let light shine out of darkness,” shine in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor 4:6). Prayer: We come before you in the darkness of our lives, aware of our need of Christ, the light of the world. Let us receive him in faith so that we may become witnesses to that light which has truly come into the world.
Mass Leaflets are available in the local shops in Dingle, Fionn Trá and Lios Póil, on our Parish Website and at the back of our 3

Parish Masses: It is great to have a congregation back again. There are a few obvious changes in seating and reduced numbers in attendance but the primary aspect of the Church as a place of prayer remains.
Anybody who wishes to attend weekdays Masses are welcome to do so. No booking required. The following applies for the weekend Masses. This week you are asked to phone 087-4686437, to let us know what Mass you would like to attend. If you do not book, there will be no guarantee that you will be able to attend the Mass of your choice. Not all Masses are at capacity but by booking you are helping us to plan for how many may be in attendance.
Please phone at the following times only: 2.30pm – 5.30pm, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday giving your name and number of persons (if more than 1). When you get to the Church you are asked to use the Hand Sanitizers provided and follow instructions from the stewards. We will celebrate Mass in St Mary’s Church, Dingle, only, at this time. Your co-operation is very much appreciated. The following will apply in line with the Government guidelines:
(i) Communion can only be received in the hand.
(ii) You are asked to wear a face mask.
(iii) Please sit in the designated spaces only
(iv) Please place your offering for the offertory collection in the building fund boxes at the back of the churches as passing of baskets is not permitted.
