Ballinteer Parish Cell Community
Cell Community meetings in our Parish every second
Wednesday are Centres of Prayer and have started back after the Summer

Our parish is one of many in Ireland (North and South), U.K. and worldwide where Cell Communities come
together in small ‘home’ groups once a fortnight for a time of prayer and praise. We strive to
live the Christian life with the help and support of each other. Cell meetings are happening in
our Parish for the last fifteen years. There can never be too much prayer and it is now widely
recognised that parish communities benefit greatly from dedicated prayer efforts. Cell Community
is an open forum where all are welcomed. If you are new in our parish or would like to ‘Come and
See’ a Cell meeting please call 085 7788395 now.
