Fáilte and welcome to Our Lady of Victories website.  Here we try to provide you with useful information about our parish services, activities and contacts.  If you are a new parishioner please make yourself known to us at the Church or office.  If you know a person who is sick, in hospital or unable to attend Mass and would like us to visit or would like to receive Holy Communion or Sacrament of Anointing do let us know. We are here to serve the members of our community. Le Dea ghui oraibh uilig

THE CATHOLIC SACRAMENT OF ANOINTING OF THE SICK, FORMERLY KNOWN AS LAST RITES OR EXTREME UNCTION, IS A RITUAL OF HEALING APPROPRIATE NOT ONLY FOR PHYSICAL BUT ALSO FOR MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL SICKNESS.

AS CATHOLICS WE BELIEVE THE EUCHARIST, OR COMMUNION, IS BOTH A SACRIFICE AND A MEAL. WE BELIEVE IN THE REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS, WHO DIED FOR OUR SINS. AS WE RECEIVE CHRIST’S BODY AND BLOOD, WE ALSO ARE NOURISHED SPIRITUALLY AND BROUGHT CLOSER TO GOD.

FOR CATHOLICS, THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE, OR HOLY MATRIMONY, IS A PUBLIC SIGN THAT ONE GIVES ONESELF TOTALLY TO THIS OTHER PERSON. IT IS ALSO A PUBLIC STATEMENT ABOUT GOD: THE LOVING UNION OF HUSBAND AND WIFE SPEAKS OF FAMILY VALUES AND ALSO GOD’S VALUES.
