PARKING AROUND CATHEDRAL
We are asking people NOT TO PARK their cars on the avenues around the Cathedral while attending Mass or other Church ceremonies.
The emergency services need to have access to the Cathedral at all times. One never knows when the services of an Ambulance or Fire Brigade are required and access routes should not be blocked at any time.
Consideration for others is all we ask and leaving the avenues and all yellow boxes free at all times is essential.
We remember in our prayers JONAS SALDUKAS, Lithuania, mother of Laura Keyes, Cavan MARIE BUCKLEY (nee Smyth), New York & Butlersbridge PEE O’REILLY, Solihill, England brother of Molly O’Rourke, Butlersbridge PATRICIA SHALVEY, New York sister of Margaret McPhillips, Butlersbridge and all who died recently.
