Rosslare Community & Sports Centre Christmas Tree – Light for a Life This is the time of year we would all like to remember our loved ones who have passed on. If you would like your loved one remembered on the Community Centre Christmas Tree located at the Access for All Garden you can do so by donating ₏3 & a light will be lit in remembrance. Fr. James will also say a prayer for them at Christmas Mass.

There is a donation box & book placed in all the shops & in Rosslare Community & Sports Centre.
