Praying for the Diocese 2014: Killasser/Callow is a rural parish with two churches, Callow (1811/1812), & Killasser (1832, with virtually a new church built there in 1868), & two schools, Carrowmore & Killasser. It has a number of community organisations, including an active Pastoral Council. The parish has four interesting early church sites in the townlands of Knockmullin, Graffy, Carrowneden & Cullin. Knockmullin is the location of the church St. Lasair is said to have
blessed & given her name. This is the church from which the parish got its name Cill Lasrach, 'the
church of Laisir', later Anglicised as Killasser. It is clear from archaeology, history, traditions and religious practice that Killasser has a long & deep religious heritage. Patrick McNicholas, Bishop of Achonry from May 1818 to February 1852, was a native of the parish. He was the first student from the diocese to enter Maynooth College following its foundation 1795. In 1831, Bishop McNicholas established the see of the diocese in Ballaghaderreen. Fr. John Durkan is parish priest of Killasser.
Achonry Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock takes place on Sunday 18th May. Ceremonies begin with the Anointing of the Sick at 2.30pm followed by Mass at 3pm. Confessions are available in the Confessional Chapel throughout the day. This year all parishioners are requested to make a special effort to be present as we continue praying for our diocese at this time.
Communion visits to the sick & housebound during the coming week.
Parish Pastoral Council invites all involved in parish ministries in both church areas (sacristans, readers, Ministers of Holy Communion, choirs, collectors, counters, finance committee, offertory gifts, child protection officers, flowers, church displays & maintenance) to meet them in the Community Centre on Thurs. 8th May at 8pm. Light refreshments will be available.
