The programme is as follows:-
Fri Dec 7th. Mass of dedication and blessing at 7.30pm. Principal concelebrant is Bishop John Buckley.
Mass begins with the blessing of the pipe organ. (Enniskeane church choir will lead the singing of hymns, accompanied by the pipe organ.)

Enniskeane hosts International speaker on Faith on Dec 2nd
Fr. Tom Casey is a Dublin priest who was ordained in 1993 and has taught in post-primary school, worked in parish and lectured in Rome.
At the invitation of the Faith Development Group of the Enniskeane Parish Assembly he will share his wisdom and experience of the challenges in being a Catholic in today’s fast-paced and challenging world.

All Organ pipes are sponsored! Many thanks.
This is good news for our parish but I’m sure a few may be disappointed. All the 678 pipes being installed in the pipe organ of our parish church in Enniskeane have been sponsored!
Sincere thanks to all who have supported the organ installation. In spite of these being challenging times for everyone, people have shown great generosity. May the good Lord bless all who have their names on the pipes and may he reward the sponsors with his kindness.
By coincidence, the last of the pipes are also being installed this week by Padraig O’Donovan.
The organ will be blessed and dedicated by Bishop Buckley on Dec 7th.
