Those who participate and those who have done so in the past are a vital part of Parish life and are much appreciated. Many more volunteers are needed.

Many groups are involved in the life of our Church

Sacristans

The role of the Sacristan and those who attend to the work of the Sacristy is an important ministry in our parish. Our Sacristans not only assist the priest, but support the entire congregation to participate fully, consciously and actively in liturgical celebrations.

Our team of Sacristans play a crucial role in the “behind the scenes” work of preparing our church and ensure that everything is in place to celebrate the Mass. In our parish, with 4 churches, Mass is celebrated at different times on weekdays and on Sundays.

Our Sacristans are:

Curtlestown Norah Burton (01) 2829745

Enniskerry Sadie O’Connell (01)

Glencree Aidan Maher (01) 2861956

Kilmacanogue Breda Donnelly (01)
