St. Enda's National School, Lisdoonvarna: Sunday, May 2nd, 2027, at 10am, in Corpus Christi Church.

St. Augustine's National School, Kilshanny: Saturday, May 8th, 2027, at 11am in St. Augustine's Church. No evening Mass that day.

It is expected that parents would remember the promise they made at their little ones' Baptisms to bring them up in the practice of the faith by attending holy Mass weekly, as required by the Church. To miss our weekly Mass is gravely sinful, because to do so deprives us and others of time spent with the Lord, praising and thanking Him for all His gifts, and asking for His grace and strength to handle this challenging world, grace and strength which come only from the Lord and Our Lady's intercession.
