Choir Practice There will be a choir practice for Confirmation in Granlahan church on Monday next, 16th Feb at 8.30pm. For the few weeks that this choir practice is taking place, Adoration will finish at 8.30pm. My apologies for any inconvenience, but this is the only evening that suits. I would ask any choir members who can from Granlahan & Ballinlough areas, join this choir as we prepare for Confirmation.

Pastoral Council Meetings The Archbishop has sent me a document – Proposals for the future serving of Parishes of the Archdiocese of Tuam. He wishes that the different Pastoral Councils read and discuss this document and to make responses and proposals which we will send to the Archbishop. Meeting dates – Granlahan, Wed 18th Feb 9pm Community Centre. Ballinlough, Thurs 19th Feb 8pm, Parish Hall.

Please Pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. Michael Lyons, former Parish Priest of Turloughmore who died recently.
