  • Prayers

    Please keep in your prayers those who are unwell, either at home, in hospital, or Nursing Home care, those who are recovering from surgery, or undergoing treatment, including:

    Margaret, George and Violet

    We extend our sympathy to the family and friends of Florrie Warren who died last week, especially to her sons David and Sam, her daughter-in-law Elizabeth, grandchildren Ruth and Adam, brother-in-law Ivan and all the extended family. Florrie’s funeral took place in Templeshanbo Church on Friday last. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

  • News & Announcements

    On Sunday 9th August 2026 there will be a Service of Thanksgiving to mark the 150th Anniversary of the founding of Mothers’ Union. This will take place in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin at 3.30pm.

    We extend our congratulations to Ruby and Robbie Watchorn on becoming grandparents recently, and to Brian Watchorn and Saoirse Dignam on the birth of their son Arlo. We wish them all every blessing.

    Pancake Breakfast and Cake Sale Saturday 8th August 2026, 10am – 1pm in the home of Mynie & Philip Leech, Tomfarney in aid of Rossdroit and Killegney Parishes. Donations of cakes and baked goods would be very much appreciated.

    Next Sunday, 9th August, Rev. Arthur will be attending the Mothers’ Union Service in Christ Church Cathedral, and so we are very grateful to Dean Leslie Forrest and Keith Rothwell who will take the services of Holy Communion and Morning Prayer, respectively, in Killegney and Templeshanbo.

    Parish Sustentation - Sustentation is now due. Sustentation is an important part of supporting the ongoing life and ministry of our parish, helping with the regular costs of maintaining our church, worship, pastoral care, and parish activities. We are very grateful for every contribution, large or small. Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

    Select Vestry Meeting - Thank you to all for attending the most recent Select Vestry meeting and for the important work that you do. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, the 10th of September.

  • Parish Notes

    Revd Arthur appointed Priest-in-Charge, New Ross Union of Parishes

    Bishop Adrian has appointed Rev Arthur as Priest-in-Charge of the New Ross Union of Parishes. This will mean that Rev Arthur has pastoral and administrative oversight of the parishes, will chair Vestry meetings, take services occasionally, and provide support and encouragement for the parishioners. Rev Arthur is still, first and foremost, incumbent of the Killanne Killegney Union of Parishes, and this new role will not diminish or hinder his ministry in our parishes.

    Parish Magazine News

    Notes and photos for the magazine should reach Margaret by the 6th of each month. These can be sent to killanneunion (at) gmail.com. There is no guarantee that late notes will be included.

    Sunday services

    On the 5th Sunday of each month we will have a United Service, which will rotate around the four churches. We hope to encourage parishioners to come together in worship, at least once a month, and enjoy fellowship over a cup of tea or coffee after each of these services.

    Contacting the Rector/Pastoral Care

    You may contact Rev. Arthur on 053 9244180, or by email at killannerector@gmail.com. If you would like the Rector to call, or you know someone who would like a home visit, or receive Holy Communion at home, please do let him know.

    Share your photos!

    If you have photos which you're happy to share (and us to use!) -- of parishioners (get their okay), parish events, farming, the churches or local scenery -- please send them to Teri Morris at hello@impulsehub.ie. By sharing your images, you help make our content more relevant, inclusive, and personal, so it truly feels like it belongs to all of us. Your contributions are much appreciated.

  • Sunday Services

    We usually have two services in our Union of Parishes every Sunday – these rotate between Rossdroit and Killanne, and Killegney and Templeshanbo. Each parish church has two services per month. When there is a 5th Sunday in the month, we have a United Service for all parishes, and this is the only service in the Union on that Sunday. But sometimes this rota can change, so do check the website regularly to confirm the up-coming services!
