•At our Mass on May 5, the families will again be present, as we all reflect together on the meaning of baptism.

Weekly Bulletin 6th & 7th April
Its’ where you live NOW!
Readers may remember in previous articles I have written about WEDDINGS and where the couples go to have their Wedding Papers prepared/Marriage preparation. Well, the word hasn’t gotten out there yet!!
Often people enquire about getting a ‘letter of freedom’ or ‘a letter of release’. A ‘letter of freedom’ is a specific form, often required as one of the documents needed as part of the Wedding Papers/Pre-Nuptial Enquiry Form. This form (one is done for each party) has two parts. The first one is informational, Address, place of Baptism and Confirmation etc. The second part is completed after an ‘Appropriate course of Instruction’.
Couples living in Milltown are expected to do an ACCORD Pre-Marriage Course. It doesn’t matter where they are getting married. It’s all the same if they are marrying in Cork or Hong Kong. Accord, an agent of the Bishop’s conference, is the only course provider that fully satisfies the requirements laid down by the said Irish Bishop’s Conference.
To date in Ireland, parishes are determined by territory. To the best of my knowledge, the only non-territorial parish in the Diocese is the parish of the Travelling People!
This Geography applies to Baptism as well; the local Parish is the place to go. Occasionally, people (who have moved to another parish) request a letter from Milltown parish because that’s where their children were baptised. However, we’re back to ‘where you live now’, not where you were baptised. It’s regarded as particularly bad manners to Baptise or minister to a parishioner of another Parish without first getting in contact with the clergy of the other Parish.
Fr. Philip Adm
(No Local Parishioner Tax yet!)
Thank you for the €1,536 which you donated to last Sunday’s collection for the Support of Priests of the Parish (& Dioceses) and for the Share Collection which amounted to €993.
