The Late Fr. John Joe O'Rourke
We are very sad to report the passing of Fr. John Joe O'Rourke on Friday, July 23, after a long illness. He served the people of Gortnahoe and Glengoole parish faithfully and with huge dedication for more than three decades. Fr. John Joe was an important part of the lives of so many people here and further afield, and will be greatly missed. Siochán síoraí dá anam lách.

Funerals
There is a limit of 50 mourners permitted at the service in both churches. Related events, either before or after, should not take place. Funerals are still considered private family events and all notices in newspapers or online should be clear about this. Funeral services should continue to be live streamed to help reduce numbers attending. Attendance at wakes in private homes and at funeral homes remains unchanged i.e., immediate family only and people should be discouraged from queuing to pay respects.
