Tobernalt, Holy Well, is a special place of pilgrimage within our parish.  This historical site is cared for and maintained by St John’s Parish.

Garland weekend celebrations take place on the last Sunday of July each year.  The celebrations provide an opportunity for all parishes to unite in prayer and thanksgiving for the faith that has been handed down through the generations.  Celebrations typically include a wide variety of Masses, prayer services, confessions and private prayer.
