Bishop Dempsey issues statement on the celebration of Sacraments in the Diocese of Achonry

Bishop Paul Dempsey of Achonry has issued a statement on the celebration of the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation in the Diocese of Achonry.

Bishop Dempsey said, “During the past number of days, a number of bishops have issued statements in relation to the celebration of the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation in their dioceses. I have been contacted by some media organisations asking for clarification around the celebration of the Sacraments in the Diocese of Achonry.”

He continued, “Confirmations are due to start in the diocese on the 12th of September 2021. As I understand parishes have postponed First Communion Ceremonies until September also, therefore the celebration of these Sacraments in August was never planned for our diocese. As the vaccination programme continues, we look forward to celebrating the Sacraments with our children and their families in a safe and meaningful way from mid-September onwards.”
