St. Senan's

Picture
The parish church  dedicated to St.Senan was opened in 1962. According to the parish records it was built by Rev.John Cahill P.P. “at his own expense”. He is buried in the Church grounds.  The church it replaced, on a different site became a school. Bishop W Keane visited the parish in 1859 . Among his observations he said  “that he found three chapels , one at Mathea, one at Behrings, both requiring improvement, and a new one at Cloghroe, handsomely veiled but still unfinished” Oup Parish Church has recently undergone major renovations. Bishop William Crean celebrated the Mass of Dedication on Saturday 19th December.

Pope Francis on "Being Church"

Being Church means being God’s people, in accordance with the great plan of his fatherly love. This means that we are to be God’s leaven in the midst of humanity. It means proclaiming and bringing God’s salvation into our world, which often goes astray and needs to be encouraged, given hope and strengthened on the way. The Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel."
