SILVER JUBILEE: Its 25 years ago since the Parish Priest at the time, Canon James Neville decided to build a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament at the side of the Parish Church here in Abbeyfeale. It’s a well-used chapel with morning Mass at 8.15am most mornings, adoration all day Tuesday and Friday and evening adoration Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It’s also used for small weddings as it seats up to 60 people comfortably and by families for Sunday Mass with prayer groups and reading groups based there too. It’s an oasis of peace in a busy town where people can pop in for a moment of contemplation and peace.
After 25 years of continual use the parish council decided to re decorate it and commissioned some painting and upholstery and a beautiful new floor. They invited everyone to a blessing on Saturday, May 28 followed by Mass at 7pm which was followed by the Corpus Christi procession with the First Holy Communicants leading it and finally the blessing of the chapel. This was followed by tea and refreshments afterwards in the Day Care Centre.
