To enable everyone to worship safely and avoid over-crowding at Christmas services this year, Trim and Athboy Union of Parishes will operate a booking system as we did last year.

For services in Trim, please contact Jennifer McKenna by phone or text at 086 401 8604 or email to jenniferamckenna@gmail.com.

For services in Athboy, please contact David Douglas by phone or text at 087 274 3105 or email david@athboy.me.

Please provide your name, time of service, and state the number of people attending.

Christmas Eve:

• Athboy 4.00pm
• Trim 5.30pm

Christmas Day:

• Trim 8.30am
• Athboy 10.00am
• Trim 11.30am

On Sunday 26 December, there will be a United Service in Trim at 11.30am. There will be no service in Athboy on that day.

The Diocesan Carol Service will be held in Trim on Sunday 19 December at 4pm with the Meath Diocesan Choir. There will be no morning service in Trim on 19 December. While singing by congregations is not recommended at present, choirs may sing if socially distanced from each other and the congregation.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with these measures. I wish you and your families a safe, happy, and blessed Christmas and health and peace in the coming New Year.

Yours sincerely,
Paul Bogle,
Dean.
