Sacraments and Funerals

Celebrating the sacraments is at the core of our parish life.
Our big moments in life are marked in a solemn way from womb to tomb.
Here we provide all the details for the celebration of the sacraments in our parish.

Church Wedding

When a couple make the decision to have a Church Wedding, they should immediately contact their local Priest or the Priest in the Church when they plan to hold their ceremony to get up-to-date information on the requirements.
A couple must give a minimum of 3 month’s notice of their Intention to Marry to the State (i.e. Registar of Marriage in St Camillus, Shelbourne Road, Limerick).
A couple will have to complete in a Pre-marriage course. ‘Accord’ are the only providers of Pre Marriage Courses who have approval from the Diocese of Limerick.

Additional useful information for those planning to get married can be found at www.gettingmarried.ie.

We realise the bulk of the preparation is done through the local schools.
As a parish we support this work through the Do This in Memory of Me programme for First Holy Communion.

Reconciliation (Confession)
