2025, A Jubilee Year in the Church.
A Jubilee Year is held every twenty-five years. Pope Francis will officially open the year by opening a Holy Door in St Peter’s Basilica Rome on Christmas Eve.
The beginning will be celebrated worldwide on the following Sunday, 29th December Feast Day of the Holy Family in every diocese worldwide, and thus at all our Masses that weekend.
Pope Francis has chosen the Jubilee theme “Pilgrims of Hope”.
We are asked to treat the year ahead as a year-long pilgrimage seeking together to become more aware that truly Jesus Christ Our Saviour is with us each day, - as our help, strength and guide. When we speak of ‘Hope’ we mean ‘Hope in Jesus Christ’, Hope in our God, Father, Son and Spirit.

Sean Sheehy- Wed, 30 Oct, 2024
Why We Must Identify Ourselves as Sinners
Jesus revealed that He came to save sinners, not the self-righteous. “I have not come to call the self-righteous to a change of heart, but sinners” (Lk 5:32). St. Mark records Jesus announcing His mission: “This is the time of fulfilment. The reign of God is at hand! Reform your lives and believe in the Gospel” (Mk 1:15). The reformation Jesus called for is about changing our life from a sinful state to a state of grace and holiness. Self-righteous people are those who think they have no sin and, of course as a result, see no need to reform their lives. I have had the experience of people coming to Confession saying, “Bless me, father, I have no sin.” Because we can’t hide from God, Jesus’ Church requires us to “recall our sins” as we begin every Holy Mass. In the Penitential Rite of the Holy Mass we admit that we’re all sinners and in need of prayers so that we might receive the grace of repentance and the gift of forgiveness, which are gifts from Jesus in and through the Sacraments of His Church. God gives us His Commandments so that we can know what virtuous, righteous living is and what vicious, unrighteous living is.
God’s Commandments are the signposts that we’re loving Him through freely obeying them. Jesus revealed that, “You will live in my love if you keep my commandments, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and live in His love” (Jn 15:10). Prior to saying that, He warned that, “A man who does not live in me is like a withered, rejected branch, picked up to be thrown in the fire and burnt” (15:6). Jesus came to call sinners to be transformed from a state of sin to a state of grace by living in His love through obeying His commandments. Here Jesus is fulfilling what God said through Moses in Deuteronomy 6:2-6: “Fear the Lord, your God, and keep, throughout your lives, all His statutes and commandments… and thus have a long life … that you may grow and prosper and benefit from God’s promises.” God called His people to “love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today.” Later God declared, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself” (Lev 19:18).
Jesus was asked by a scribe which of God’s commandments was the greatest. The Pharisees had broken down the Ten Commandments to 613 laws so people wondered which one was the most important to keep. Jesus answered by quoting from both Deuteronomy and Leviticus where He combined love of God with love of neighbour, namely love God with everything you are and have and love your neighbour as yourself. Thus Jesus summed up the Ten Commandments into two groups integrally connected, the first three telling us how to show our love for God and the last seven showing us how to show our love for our neighbour, our father and mother being our first neighbours. Our love of God is no greater than our love for our neighbour. It’s against the backdrop of this Law of Love that we’re forced to admit we’re sinners who need to repent and seek forgiveness with a commitment to live a holy life.
The commandment (this is not just a suggestion) to love God, ourselves and our neighbour with all our heart, soul, and strength is impossible without God’s help. To have any hope of doing this we must humbly pray with the Psalmist (Ps 18:2-4): “My God, my Rock of refuge, my shield, the horn of my salvation, My stronghold!” Why? Natural love isn’t enough to love God and neighbour consistently. We need supernatural love which only God can give us. Which of us loves God, ourselves, and our neighbour with all our heart, our soul, our mind, and our strength consistently and constantly? If we’re honest, we have to admit that none of us, even the holiest among us, loves God and our neighbour with all we are and have. This is the kind of love that is unconditional love and is given without counting the cost.
So where does this leave us? It leaves us with the reality that we’re sinners because we don’t consistently love as God expects us to love. To the degree that we are inconsistent in our love, we’re sinning either by commission or omission. This is why we’re in constant need of the grace of reconciliation, which God, in His mercy and justice, has made possible through Jesus, who is sacramentally present in His Church, particularly in Reconciliation where we can repent and receive forgiveness for mortal and grave sins, the Anointing of the Sick where mortal and venial transgressions of the Law of Love are forgiven when a person is unconscious, if he or she has a repentant heart, and in the Holy Mass where venial sins are forgiven those with a repentant heart.
Sinners don’t go to Heaven. Heaven is for repentant sinners who seek forgiveness. Forgiveness is a gift even to the holiest among us because only God can forgive and none of us deserves it. God alone perfects us because He alone can free us from sin and its effects. But He won’t do that unless we admit our sin not just out of fear of punishment but because God is so good in Himself and so deserving of all our love.
The Catholic Church is the visible sign of God’s wish to save every man and woman from sin. The Church brings Jesus to us in each Sacrament in which He both purifies and strengthens us to do good and avoid evil. The Holy Spirit revealed that Jesus “is always able to save those who approach God through Him since He lives forever to make intercession for them” (Heb 7:23-28). The Catholic Church makes it possible to personally approach God through Jesus who is present in her, especially in the Holy Mass.
The Church traditionally devotes this month of November to remembering and praying for the souls in Purgatory, which “is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be released from their sins” (2 Macc 12:46). It’s also a time to think about our own death and the need to ask and answer this question: “How consistent am I in obeying God’s Law of Love?” Admitting that we don’t love as we could, and should, makes us conscious that we’re sinners who cannot save ourselves from hell. This prompts us to ask the Holy Spirit daily for the grace to repent, seek forgiveness, and double our efforts to love God, ourselves and our neighbour with all we are and have. We’ll be judged by how much effort we put into joyfully living in accord with God’s Law of Love. (fr sean)
Indulgence through Praying for the Souls in Purgatory
You can get a plenary indulgence any day this November? The Vatican grants Catholics a plenary indulgence if they visit a cemetery to pray for the dead, and follow the required conditions, on any day in the month of November.
Last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Apostolic Penitentiary issued a decree that extended the availability of some plenary indulgences because of concerns about avoiding large gatherings of people in churches or cemeteries. The Vatican has issued the same decree this year during the month of November.
What is a plenary indulgence?
A plenary indulgence is a grace granted by the Catholic Church through the merits of Jesus Christ, Mary, and all the saints to remove the temporal punishment due to sin. The indulgence cleanses a person of all temporal punishment due to sin. However, it must always be accompanied by a full detachment from all sin, including venial sin.
Requirements: Sacramental confession, Holy Communion and prayer for the intentions of the pope. Sacramental confession and receiving the Eucharist can happen up to about 20 days before or after the act performed to receive a plenary indulgence.
It is appropriate that Communion and the prayer take place on the same day that the work is completed. One sacramental confession is sufficient for several plenary indulgences. However for each plenary indulgence one wishes to receive, a separate reception of the Eucharist and a separate prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father are required.
The Vatican decree issued due to the pandemic allows Catholics who are unable to leave their home, such as the sick or elderly, to still obtain a plenary indulgence by reciting prayers for the dead before an image of Jesus or the Blessed Mother. Examples of prayers homebound Catholics can pray include the rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, lauds or vespers of the Office for the Dead, or by performing a work of mercy by offering their pain to God.

Just a thought
Every day we make decisions. Some are straightforward and done without much thought. More can be difficult especially when we are pulled in different directions. It is good advice not to rush into any important decision, but there always comes a point when we have to decide. Sometimes our decisions are not always the correct ones, but all we can do is our best and what we think is right at that particular moment. We ask God’s guidance and direction with difficult and brave decisions.

Just a thought
Instead of saying, “I know what it feels like”,
Let’s say “I cannot imagine your heartbreak”.
Instead of saying, “You’re strong, you’ll get through this,
let’s say “You’ll hurt, and I’ll be here.
Instead of saying, “you look like you’re doing well,
Let’s say, “How are you holding up today?”.
Instead of saying, “Healing takes time”, Let's say “Healing has no timeline”.
Instead of saying, “Everything happens for a reason,
Let's say “This must feel so terribly senseless right now”.
And when there are no words to say at all. You don’t need to try and find some.
Love speaks in silences too.

PRAYER FOR WORLD DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY
THIS SUNDAY 28 JULY 2024
Lord, faithful God, You who created us in Your image, You who never leaves us alone and who accompanies us through every season of life, do not abandon us, take care of us, And grant us, once again, The ability to discover ourselves and recognise that we are Your children. Renew our hearts with your Word and do not allow anyone to be cast aside. May your Spirit of love fill us with Your tenderness and teach us to say:
“I will not abandon you!” To those we meet on our journey. With the help of your beloved Son, may we not lose the taste for fraternity and may we not conform to the sadness of loneliness. Help us to look to the future with renewed hope and make the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly A Day without loneliness, and a day abundant with the first fruits of Your peace. Amen.

Farewell and Blessings from Fr Brendan
‘Tis time to move on but at the same time it’s time to thank you all very sincerely for your hospitality, cooperation and generosity over the past three years. Return to Moyvane-Knockanure was a great surprise to me coming back to the fields and pathways of my childhood.
Much has changed over the years even if in general the villages remain physically recognizable. It was from this pocket of the world that I learned the basics of my faith which remains alive here, even if now expressed quite differently. Indeed, through my time here, I have grown in faith, inspired by the example of great men and women that you are in your different ways.
Thank you for it all. Where I have hurt, sorry.
I leave with fine memories of you all to remain in the storehouse of my consciousness and may the Lord continue to bless you and Fr Brendan Walsh in the years ahead. Slan.
A Mhuire gan Smal, gui orainn ata age glaoch ort, a Bhainrion, Naofa is a Bhath nd mBlath.
Fr Brendan Walsh will be here from Tuesday, July 16th.
A Presentation to Fr Brendan Carmody S.J. will take place on Saturday 13th July in the Marian Hall after the 7.30pm Mass. All are very welcome. Tea and Refreshments.
Congratulations Liam
A belated but heartfelt Congratulations to Liam Nolan (alias Speedy) on your recent election. Well done and may be we’ll see you in the Phoenix Park before long! Every Blessing!

Just a Thought
The sun is extraordinarily generous giving away huge parts of itself every second. Atoms of hydrogen combine to form helium producing vast amounts of light and heat. Scientists tell us that every second, inside the sun, the equivalent in size of 4 million elephants are being changed into light. If this generosity stopped, all energy as we know it would lose its source and everything, we know would die including ourselves. We live because of the generosity of the sun. But we tend to horde, fear the worst and hold onto as much as we can, including negative stuff. We are much slower in allowing ourselves to be generous with good news and especially our good news. God’s generosity can become our inspiration. From a spiritual point of view we say that God is so rich in love and generous beyond measure with blessings. In the Gospels one story stands out, about the man who went off and hid the talent he was given. He could not believe that God could be so generous and so he grew fearful and afraid. All he could do was hide, instead of sharing the talent and gaining so much more without even asking. During these summer days we are enjoying whatever sunshine comes our way. May it always be a reminder of God’s incredible generosity towards each of us. James McSweeney

Farewell and Blessings from Fr Brendan
‘Tis time to move on but at the same time it’s time to thank you all very sincerely for your hospitality, cooperation and generosity over the Past three years. Return to Moyvane-Knockanure was a great surprise to me coming back to the fields and pathways of my childhood.
Much has changed over the years even if in general the villages remain physically recognizable. It was from this pocket of the world that I learned the basics of my faith which remains alive here, even if now expressed quite differently. Indeed, through may time here, I have grown in faith, inspired by the example of great men and women that you are in your different ways.
Thank you for it all. Where I have hurt, sorry.
I leave with fine memories of you all to remain in the storehouse of my consciousness and may the Lord continue to bless you and Fr Brendan Walsh in the years ahead. Slan.

Just a Thought
It was my privilege to celebrate the graduation of the 6th classes at our Primary Schools before they got their summer holidays over the past week. This beautiful reflection was read at one of the school graduation masses:
Be humble enough to realise you still have a lot to learn.
Be ambitious enough to know you can be anything you want to be.
Be easy enough on yourself – to enjoy, to laugh and to have fun.
Be mature enough to take responsibility for what you do.
Be confident enough to see that who you are inside, is more important than how you look outside.
Be proud enough to take care of your body, your mind and your spirit.
Be wise enough to choose your friends carefully.
Be absolutely sure that wherever you go, whatever you do, YOU ARE LOVED.
Fr. Declan

CELEBRATING DAY FOR LIFE THIS SUNDAY:
A dedicated day celebrating the beauty and dignity of all human life It is a day specifically dedicated to raising awareness and reflecting on the deep value and meaning of human life at every stage, and in every condition. This year’s message reminds us that Jesus did not send the sick away, rather He showed that life always has dignity and that there is no such a thing as a useless life. Catholics are called to defend this gift of life to its natural end and to protect vulnerable citizens from a culture that could pressure them into assisted suicide. In this way, we are encouraged to support people with the companionship of a listening ear, appropriate treatment, and the best of care, so that their last days can be times of grace, intimacy and love. The Day for Life message is available on https://councilforlife.ie/day-for-life-2024/

KNOCKANURE is getting ready for major celebrations on Friday night as the village marks the 50th anniversary of the construction of its church - considered at the time one of the most architecturally innovative buildings in the country. Corpus Christi Church in Knockanure was designed by Michael Scott - the man behind Busáras and The Abbey Theatre - who is still revered as the most important Irish architect of the 20th Century.
Love them or loath them, each of his buildings were seen as major architectural works and Corpus Christi in Knockanure was no different attracting major interest nationally on its erection in 1964.
"I still remember it being built. I was a teenager at the time and there was great excitement in the parish throughout the construction. It is still regarded as one of the most important churches for that period in the entire country," sacristan and Parish Pastoral Council chairperson Margaret Carmody said.

Story
We sold 105 Papers yesterday down in the LOOP. I had rested my GREEN
bag with the papers in it against the light pole and My Friend Terence came
up and told me that the BAG reminded him of the time back in Ireland. He
said that he had went to the PUCK FAIR at Killorglin all the way from
Moyvane a small place near KNOCKANURE. Well he said I met up with my
old Friend Kitty O'Connor (You should hear her sing "BIDDY DONAHUE")
She hails from Abbeyfeale, I cannot figure it out, Kitty must be a mind reader
because I said to her that day, 'KITTY I have a bag of kittens here and if you
can guess how many, I will give the both of them to you.' SHE DID.

MEALS: A price-savvy Cork mum has shared how she cooks meals on a budget amidst the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
Anne Marie Dollard says she's saved thousands of euros on groceries since learning how to cook on a strict budget and to get the most out of each of her meals. From small things like changing her shopping habits to growing some of her own produce, Anne Marie has managed to feed herself and her loved ones from as little as 85c per portion.
Slowly building up a well-stocked pantry, investing in a larger freezer to get the most out of leftovers, avoiding big brands and scouring the reduced sections have been key steps in Anne Marie's money-saving journey. The 45-year-old also started growing veg in her back garden and while it takes a little bit more effort than a quick trip to Tesco, the extra time spent has paid off handsomely for her.

FARMERS: ICOS has identified the following five main priority areas for immediate action:
Suspension of on-farm inspections: ICOS has called for a one-month suspension of all Bord Bia and Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) on-farm inspections.
This recommendation aims to alleviate current stress and workload on farms and to ensure continued compliance with standards without additional pressure on farmers.
Rebate on feed: A government-matched rebate on feed, mirroring the support already provided by co-operatives, should be implemented, according to ICOS.
The organisation has said that this would ease the financial burden on farmers by reducing the cost of essential supplements needed to bridge the nutritional gap caused by currently inadequate grazing.

-----------------------------------
TRACTORS: A Ferguson-Brown with iron wheels from 1936 and a crab-steer are among the exhibits at the tractor museum dedicated to the life of Harry Ferguson, which was officially opened in Kilrush, Co. Clare, on March 18.
Located adjacent to the Museum of Irish Rural Life on the Cooraclare Road in Kilrush, the museum was created by Joe Whelan whose family have run a Massey Ferguson dealership for 57 years.
Both museums are open seven days a week, from 9:00a.m to 6:00p.m. Entry is free but donations are gratefully accepted.

--------------------------------------------
DIVINE MERCY: You probably already know about the devotion to Divine Mercy in the Catholic Church.
Divine Mercy images can be seen in churches around the world, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is very popular, and Divine Mercy Sunday is an official feast day of the Church. The founder of the devotion, Saint Faustina Kowalska, is even honored as a saint.
But it wasn’t always this way. In fact, the whole devotion was suppressed for many years and almost lost for good. It only came back due to prayer, perseverance, and the hand of Divine Providence. This is the amazing story.

FEAST of the Annunciation of the Lord is celebrated this year on Monday 8th April. The angel Gabriel tells Mary she is to be the mother of the Saviour.

Arthur Broomfield is also the judge of the Desmond O’Grady International Poetry Competition for this year and she will announce the winner of this year’s competition after the reading.

80 YEARS: Mercier Press, the oldest independent publisher in Ireland, celebrates 80 years in business this year-----------
When he set up Mercier, Seán Feehan was a captain in the Irish Army, stationed at Collins Barracks in Cork. To call him the driving force behind the business would be something of an understatement. He was a man of unusual vision for his time, something which can be seen in an RTÉ archive clip from an interview he did with Breandán Ó hEithir for the television programme Féach in January, 1971.

Easter Message from Bishop Ray: Christ is Risen and present to us all.
Holy Week and Easter are close to the hearts of many people in all our parishes, thank God. Lovely to see large numbers who come to the Cathedral on Good Friday and Holy Saturday to quietly do “The Stations of the Cross”. For many the Cross of Jesus gives them the strength to endure the Cross in their own lives. Some parishes have a well-attended dawn Mass on Easter Sunday morning. Witnessing the light of dawn on Easter Sunday morning symbolizes the Resurrection as the moment of proclamation of Jesus Christ as the “Light of the World”. May Good Friday remind us of Christ’s gift to us all of his victory over death, - eternal life. May Easter Sunday morning remind us that Christ is risen, Christ is alive, and He is present in our lives through the Holy Spirit. The mystery of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator and Lord of us all. This Holy Week we remember the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we worship him as our Savior and our Hope. Every Easter blessing on all the people of all our parishes, and on our loved ones wherever they are in the world this Easter. Every blessing too on all for whom this is their first Easter in Ireland.
+ Bishop Ray, Holy Week 2024
HAPPY EASTER from Fr. Declan

OUR LISTOWEL PARISH GATHERING IS FRIDAY NIGHT NEXT:
Following up on Bishop Ray recent Pastoral Letter, ‘Moving Forward in Hope’ … He has invited all parishioners to participate in a consultation process by themselves to shape the future of pastoral areas and parishes. The consultation gathering for our Parish will be held on Friday night next, March 22nd 2024 in St. Michael’s College at 7.30 pm. You are invited to reflect on the following three questions: 1. Without the presence of a priest to lead and coordinate, what aspects of parish life could we, the laity, take responsibility for and organise ourselves? 2. Where do we see scope for cooperation with neighbouring parishes in our pastoral area? 3. Given what Bishop Ray has said about reducing numbers and increasing age, what do we want to say to our priests?

Parish Gathering, in his Pastoral Letter, “Moving Forward in Hope”, Bishop Ray invites all parishioners to participate in a consultation process to shape the future of pastoral areas and parishes. A consultation gathering will be held in our parish of Moyvane/Knockanure on Tuesday 5th March 2024 at 7.30pm in the Marian Hall, Moyvane.
As preparation for the gathering, you are invited to reflect on the following three questions:
1. Without the presence of a priest to lead and coordinate, what aspects of parish life could we, the laity, take responsibility for and organise ourselves?
2. Where do we see scope for cooperation with neighbouring parishes in our pastoral area?
3. Given what Bishop Ray has said about reducing numbers and increasing age, what do we want to say to priests?
Many thanks for your support and assistance for this consultation.

KERRY DIOCESAN COLLECTION FOR – LOURDES HELPERS FUND WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT WEEKEND:
Over 50 years ago Kerry Diocese decided to go on pilgrimage to Lourdes to enable assisted (sick) pilgrims visit the shrine. This year is the 50th pilgrimage with assisted pilgrims (due to the pandemic assisted pilgrims were unable to travel some years). This year is sort of a new beginning or restarting of the pilgrimage. The theme for this year in Lourdes is “come here in procession” which Our Lady asked St Bernadette. As we return, we need helpers, nurses, and the need to inform people (who need assistance) to join us in 2024. Daycare centres/nursing homes are invited to inform their service users who may wish to travel with us. The Pilgrimage has changed in many ways over the past 50 years, but the main purpose is still the same, to take the sick to Lourdes and for this we need helpers. Many are students and thus require help to finance the trip. This collection goes towards that effort. The Lourdes Helpers Fund also helps assisted pilgrims who may not be able to afford to pay the full fare and would like to go to Lourdes. The collection for the Lourdes Helpers will be taken up next weekend as a second collection after Holy Communion.
ST. BRIGID’S CROSSES The 6th Class of Scoil Réalta na Maidne (Boys School) to support their funds. The crosses which are blessed are on sale in the Parish Office.
CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES SERVICE OF COMMITMENT: for all our Confirmation candidates of our Parish, their parents, teachers and sponsors takes place on Tuesday 13th February at 7.30 p.m. in the Church.

We thank God for all our young people and their homes, for our schools and all school communities. We encourage that all parishes, all homes and all schools work together to give all children and youth the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Lord God, we ask that you help us understand how to be a true friend to one another and to you. We are all called to treat everyone we meet with love, respect and kindness. Let our lives be known for serving you through serving others. Help us to always remember your commandment to love one another. Amen + Bishop Ray Browne
WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY (Thurs. 18th to Thurs 25th January, Feast of the Conversion of St Paul). This week has been celebrated worldwide since 1908. The theme this year has been chosen by an ecumenical team in Burkina Faso: “You shall love the Lord your God … and your neighbor as yourself.” Lk 10:27. God is love, love one another, - surely a theme that unites all Christians. Further materials and prayers in English and Irish at: ctbi.org.uk/week of prayer.+ Bishop Ray Browne

Organic farming is something else that feels green, but the picture becomes much more complicated when you dig into the details. “It’s not obvious that organic farming is better for the environment than ‘conventional’ farming,” Ritchie writes. Organic farms tend to be better for local biodiversity, but because they produce less food per acre they’re bad for land use. The EU has set itself the target of making 25 percent of its farmland organic by 2030, but this could reduce its production by between 7 and 12 percent, forcing more land to be converted to agriculture elsewhere in the world.

Thank You – ‘Míle Buíochas’
As we celebrate Christmas and bring the year 2023 to a close, I feel that I’m very privileged and indeed it is my honour to continue working with you as your Parish Priest here in Listowel. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for the support that you give to your Parish and to me personally throughout the year. It takes a lot of people to make a Parish active and to keep it going in these difficult and challenging times. It could not happen only that we are blessed with good staff, Parish Secretary Denise and both sacristans Helen and Martina and a lot of volunteers who are dedicated to our Parish. Many of you work behind the scenes and you might feel your work sometimes goes unnoticed, but each person in their own right play their part, and each does it so well. A special thanks to Fr. Martin, Fr. Jack, Fr. Brendan & Fr. Anthony of our Pastoral Area.
I thank the Parish Finance Council who keeps an eye on the Parish Finances. I thank the Parish Pastoral Council and the Safeguarding Committee for their support and guidance. Thanks to the Parish Liturgy Group who co-ordinate the various ministries and liturgies. The Eucharistic Ministers / Parish Youth Group / the Readers, the Collectors, the Counting Teams who count the parish offerings, the Parish Choir, the Parish Folk Group, their members, their directors and musicians. We are blessed to have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament weekly in our Parish. Thank you all who make it possible. We have the Padre Pio Prayer Group & Legion of Mary who run their regular meetings - I’m not forgetting our Altar Servers, their parents and teachers for their support. You all do a great job, and your help is much appreciated.
To those who clean the church - not alone is this done for Christmas, but it is done quietly all year around. Those who donate flowers and look after both inside and outside the church and Presbytery grounds throughout the year. So many visitors remark on how well each place looks. This is a tribute to you, so take a bow. To those of you who put up the Crib and those who are available at moments notice to do the various maintenance jobs of the Parish throughout the year.
We are dependent on each other for friendship, support, and finance. Thank you for your generosity and kindness to your Parish and to me personally right throughout the year. I pray that God will bless and reward you and your family with all his gifts this Christmas and throughout the new year of 2024.
God Bless Fr. Declan
