It's that time of the year and once again the pandemic has made its mark on the Masses and Services available this Christmas. To help with social distancing some Churches have put on extra services. Others have enlisted a booking system and others will combine their physical events with an online presence too.

NOTE: We try to compile as accurate a list as possible of all Church Events in Newry and close surrounds but inevitibly we can't find times for all and this year especially it is difficult to know if some venues need booking or not, so if it is important to you please double check with the Church in question.
Those marked with an X, we are still waiting for information. If you know times or spot a mistake or a service missing please email us with the details on NEWS@NEWRY.IE and we will add them!
Please check regularly for any updates.
