Nenagh Parish Supports Darkness Into Light Nenagh 2025

The countdown is on, dear friends. The time for the most important walk of the year is fast approaching!

Nenagh Parish is proud to throw open the doors of St Mary of the Rosary Church to those planning to participate in the wonderful Darkness Into Light walk in the early hours of this coming Saturday, 10 May 2025.

Walkers of all faith groups, and none, are so very welcome to call in and light a candle for those held close during these very special hours. The doors of St Mary of the Rosary Church will be open from 3.45am and we’d be delighted to see you.

Nenagh Parish Easter Schedule 2025

We are delighted to announce that we have finalised and double-checked the Nenagh Parish Easter Schedule for 2025. We are very much looking forward to celebrating this wonderful season with you all and hope you will make it along to some of our ceremonies.

We remind the community that our priests will participate in an unprecedented 42 ceremonies across the Odhrán Pastoral Area between Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday. While they see this as an enormous privilege and a core part of their priestly duty, we do ask for your patience and prayers as they undertake what will be a rewarding but gruelling schedule.

Fr Lorcán’s New Book: Launch Invitation

Copies of the book can be purchased in our Parish Office, parish shop in St Mary of the Rosary, Nenagh Bookshop, Newtown Post Office, and Gleeson’s Shop, Portroe. Lorcán would like to thank you all for your kindness and support and hopes to meet you at the book launch.
