Cemetery Sunday will take place as usual, on the last Sunday of June, this year 26th June, in St Peter’s Cemetery at 3.00pm, and Newtown Cross Cemetery at 5.00pm. We are delighted that for the first time in three years we can come together in…
ST PETER’S PARISH – ALTAR NOTICES – 26 JUNE 2022 – 13TH SUNDAY ORD
- The Sunday collection last week amounted to €2,940. The Sunday Collection is taken up in the church porches on entry to and exit from Mass. Many thanks for your great generosity and your use of the parish envelope.
- Parishioners are asked please to continue to wear face masks, sanitise their hands on entry into the church, and be mindful of social distancing. Holy Communion is received on the hand only.
- Cemetery Sunday will take place today Sunday, 26th June, in St Peter’s Cemetery at 3.00pm, and Newtown Cross Cemetery at 5.00pm. Priests and deacons will bless the graves. If you wish to bring holy water for the sprinkling of the family grave you are welcome to do so. The list of names of those associated with the Parish, who have died or been buried in the past year, will be read out.
People may wear a face mask if they choose. Not everyone will yet feel ready to return to the annual Cemetery Sunday celebration, and this is understandable. Some parishioners may prefer to make a private visit to the Cemetery later on the Sunday evening or during the week beginning Monday 27th June. A video recording of the 3.00pm ceremony blessing of St Peter’s Cemetery will be available on saintpetersdrogheda.ie and St Peter’s Parish, Drogheda Facebook page from 6.00pm today, Sunday, 26th June.
A Garda Traffic Management Plan will be in operation.
There will be a Gate Collection for the upkeep of the Cemetery. Please use the special envelope in your box (26th June) which can be put into the basket in the Cemetery or in the church. Donations can also be made through the Donate Button on our website, mentioning Cemetery in the comment box.
