New Ross Parish Office and Pastoral Centre

New Ross Pastoral Centre is the first point of contact for many people with the parish and provides a range of services to parishioners and members of the town community. It opens from 10:30am to 2pm Monday to Friday. As well as the administrative functions of New Ross parish, the centre contains a repository of religious goods for sale to the community and provides genealogical information from the Parish registers on request to family members and researchers from all over the world.
