Parish of Killannin

I welcome you to our Killannin parish website. All Masses are livestreamed via webcam.

Second Collection: There will be a second collection for Trócaire at both Masses on Saturday 14^th and Sunday 15^th March. It is for those who do not use the Trócaire box but would like to support the work of Trócaire.

Ministry of Catechist and the Permanent Diaconate: Would you be interested in serving in the Ministry of Catechist or the Permanent Diaconate in the Dioceses of Clonfert, Galway, Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora? As part of a dynamic and creative team, in union with priests, deacons, parish pastoral councils and others, catechists assist with the delivery of various faith development programmes and opportunities at both parish level and beyond. Permanent Deacons are ordained to a life of service in charity to the poor, the vulnerable, and the marginalised. They also provide a Ministry of the Word in preaching in Church and officiating at certain liturgies, and Ministry of the Altar, in assisting the celebrant at Mass and preparing people for and officiating at baptisms and weddings. Both the Ministry of Catechist and the Permanent Diaconate involve a sizeable period of discernment and formation. For a conversation and further information please contact Fr Hugh Clifford: tel. 091 637154 or email catechistsdeacons@clonfertgalway.ie. The deadline has been extended to 12^th March 2026.
