Reconciliation
Christmas and Easter are the times when we feel the need to do a little trawl of our lives and ask for forgiveness and healing. It isn’t an easy or a pleasant thing to do on one’s own - so don’t. Instead come along to our Reconciliation here in St. Brigid's Church on Thursday December 19th at 8.00pm.
