Commissioning New Ministers

The new rota of special ministers of the Eucharist will take place at the Vigil Mass in the Cathedral on Saturday 3rd October at 7pm.

It is intended to renew the rota of Eucharistic Ministers at Ardaghey. As soon as that is completed the St. Joseph's weekday rota will be revised and updated.
