Rosettes to remember the parishioners who died during the year will be blessed by Fr Eamonn O'Gorman and placed on the Remembrance Tree followed by the switching on of the village lights.

Music on the Square will be supplied by DJ Tracey Edwards. The children will then go to meet Santa at St Mary’s Hall where any donations will be presented to Santa in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital.
