Congratulations to Conrad Maguire who was presented with the John Paul II Award in Mullingar Cathedral by Bishop Deenihan last Saturday. The Award for young people between the age of 16 and 18 encourages them to take an active part in the life of their Church and in the life of their community and their society. It encourages them to become more aware of the role of the Catholic Church in the world and to engage at a deep level with Christ. The Award was created to commemorate Pope Saint John Paul II who was committed to young people and who had such belief and confidence in them.

Parents who wish to enroll their children for Confirmation are invited to attend one of two meetings,

Our Annual Remembrance Mass will take place at 7pm on Thursday 28 November in Beauparc church. During this Mass we will remember the parishioners whose funeral Mass took place in Beauparc & Kentstown parish during the past year. We will recall each one by name and a candle will be lit in their memory. Keeping in mind parishioners who have lost loved ones living in other parishes, or parishioners whose funeral Mass was in another parish, a single candle will be lit in their memory. The Mass will be followed by a cuppa and refreshments in the hall afterwards. All are welcome.
