We look forward to the joyful celebration of the feast of Christmas and welcome those who come at this time. We hope that you will find our celebration joyful, meaningful, and encouraging and may even awaken a desire to come back again soon.

Remember that St Mary’s Ballysaggart will mark at 9.30am Mass on Christmas morning, the exact centenary of the first Mass celebrated in the new church by Canon Walsh on the 25th December, 1913 at 8am.

No one ought feel an outsider at Christmas time as we joyfully celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Be mindful that Jesus may be lonely in that person living on their own, or in that family member you choose to ignore.
