Third Sunday of Advent



Rejoice in the Lord always: again I say, rejoice. Let your modesty be known to all men: for the Lord is nigh. Be nothing solicitous: but in every thing by prayer let your petitions be made known to God. Lord, Thou hast blessed Thy land: Thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

Mass at 5pm, St Patrick's Church, College Rd, Kilkenny, Sunday 14th December.
