All Saints’ Church will be open for private prayer. It will be open from 12 noon to 3pm and

Sacrament of Reconciliation - Message from Bishop Treanor 27.3.20
In his Homily of 20 March 2020, Pope Francis said that, when access to Confession is not possible then, by making an act of sorrow, by being truly contrite for all their sins with the intention not to sin anymore, and with the intention of going to confession as soon as it is possible, they are reconciled with God and obtain the forgiveness of their sins, even mortal sins.
In the current emergency we are asked to pray for divine healing.
