Eglinton Parish Church re-opens

After over 11 weeks being closed to parishioners, today St. Canice’s Parish Church in Eglinton, County Londonderry, opened its door again. The church building will be available for private prayer or reflection on Monday 6:30-8:30pm, Wednesday 2-4pm and Friday 10am -12 noon. Why not slip in sometime for a few moments of quiet? “Our thanks goes to those who have ensured that everything is in place from a health and safety point of view, and to those who will be on duty during the opening times,” the Rector commented.
