Mary's, Edenderry, County Offaly (under the Diocese of Kildare & Leighlin) the clergy therein, namely Fr.'s McEvoy and Walsh (pic'd here) failed to distribute or ensure distribution of the Holy Communion to those who needed it.Seemingly, a residential home for the elderly and infirm located almost beside the Church itself was not in receipt of their presence nor that of the Holy Presence itself.
These elderly are probably not going to see next Christmas and the importance of them receiving the Blessed Sacrament cannot be underestimated...but it has been...
So maybe they would like to offer some explanation as to why the elderly were visibly disappointed and broken hearted to not receive Holy Communion...
The question has been asked Fathers so perhaps you would prefer yourselves to explain why these most vulnerable in society were denied the Blessed Sacrament...Or perhaps their Ordinary, Jim Moriarty, would care to ask the same question of them as this is a serious issue...
No-one is to be denied the Blessed Sacrament except in particular circumstances so one wonders what rule applied in this particular situation...
