Donnybrook Parish

Welcome To Donnybrook Parish

This is our parish, our local Christian community. The Sacred Heart Church, in the heart of the Donnybrook village, is the focal point for our worshipping community.

Whether you have lived here for many years or have recently moved here does not matter; you are currently part of a welcoming and caring faith community.

The web site has been developed to present helpful information and a sense of belonging. It is also an invitation to become involved at some level in the life of the parish and to use your talents in the service of others.

Wishing you every blessing

Martin Clarke
Parish Priest
