A church gate collection will take place at all Masses in the Castlebar district this weekend with proceeds going to Mayo Cancer Support Association, Rock Rose House.
Rock Rose House offers emotional support and practical help to people with cancer, their families and friends.
A drop in listening service is in operation from 9.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday. A range of therapies such as massage are also on offer for cancer patients. Life coaching, stress management, various courses, and a professional counselling service are also available. A bereavement support course will also start on November 2, running for four consecutive Monday nights,
As all these services are free of charge the centre depends on the raising of funds and your help is necessary to maintain such a worthwhile service. To contact Rock Rose House call 094 903 8407.
