CHRIST CHURCH BALLYBAY

The Select Vestry and parishioners of Christ Church Ballybay wish to express our deepest gratitude to The Northern Standard for faithfully sharing our parish news with the wider community over the years. We extend a very special word of thanks to Paul Swift for his consistent kindness, help, and support. This past year, we were truly thankful to receive funding from the Local Enhancement Programme 2025 and the Community Support Fund 2025. These grants enabled us to complete much-needed exterior painting of our community church hall and assisted with essential running costs. Our sincere appreciation also goes to Monaghan County Council for their unwavering support. We are especially grateful for the funding awarded through the Community Centres Investment Fund, which will allow us to begin important restoration works on our toilet facilities early in the New Year. To our whole community—thank you. Your steadfast support throughout the past year means more than words can express. It is noticed, valued, and deeply appreciated. We warmly invite you to join us for our Christmas Eve Service on Wednesday, 24th December at 11pm, with Holy Communion 2. Everyone is very welcome. “May the light of the Lord guide you this Christmas and always. As we celebrate His birth, may your heart be filled with joy and peace. Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Daoibh go léir, le suaimhneas agus sláinte.”
