For YouTube connection search Church of the Assumption Moyvane & click on the stained glass window. Please note that Sunday 28th is our final YouTube Mass. Fr. Kevin says- I wish to express my thanks to Conor Hogan for his terrific and generous ingenuity in producing 12 YouTube Masses and Holy Week Ceremonies which included Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. These presentations gave all of us a glimpse of our Parish from inside and outside our Churches. Conor certainly has a sensitive eye and a good heart in capturing in picture things that sometimes we may take for granted. Always pleasant to work with, never in bad form and nothing was ever a problem to him to include in the YouTube presentation. On your behalf and certainly on my own behalf, I would like to thank Conor for his great work and wish him well in the future.

MOYVANE Knockanure Newsletter; HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Normally, our Parish would be passing a gift and a blessing to all Father’s attending Eucharist in our Parish this weekend. Unfortunately, this cannot take place. What can take place is our prayerful good wishes and blessings to all Dads on this their very special Sunday. We get an opportunity to pray for them. Even sometimes through failures and contradictions when we reflect enough on them we can see that they did their best in the situations they were in. May all Dads be blessed today with God’s blessings. The Dads that are in Heaven may they continue to pray for us. Enjoy Phil Coulter’s lovely song ‘The Old Man’.
NOREEN – OUT ON HER OWN: Noreen Roche has really been a fantastic help, blessing and support to our Parish since lockdown on March 14th. Her presence, sensitivity and support at all the funerals has been so very special. Her help with all the YouTube Masses and the flower arrangements for them has been super. Her help and preparation for all the porch Masses, but especially during Novena Masses and her running around the car park with Newsletters, gifts and having an endless supply of batteries for my hands free microphone is mind boggling. Watering flowers inside and outside the Church, organising the weekend collections – her generosity and contributions in so many ways during lockdown has been phenomenal. Thank you so very much Noreen.
LOVELY BLESSINGS DURING THIS TIME
I am deeply appreciative of the following blessings that I continue to receive during these strange times. Masses from the porch door take place so effortlessly each evening with the help of Noreen and her willing helpers.
Shane’s generous help looking after the collections and Shrines is much appreciated at this time – well done Shane.
Margaret Carmody is looking after Knockanure Church in a loving and caring way – well done Margaret.
Readers, musicians, teachers and all who have contributed to the YouTube Masses, a sincere thank you.
Your terrific generosity towards all the collections – Offertory, Dues and Trócaire has been fantastic. In fact last week’s Offertory collection has been the highest since I came to the Parish five years ago €2,022.50. Your Shrine contributions have been great as well.
To our terrific grounds men John Barry, Knockanure and Mike Buckley, Moyvane who have the grounds of both Churches looking so well. On a personal basis Mike is so helpful to me in hundreds of ways and he also blesses my heart with his sense of fun, humour and he’s not a bad man with the camera either!!
To our Church cleaners in Moyvane Noreen O’Flaherty and Margaret Mulvihill who always have the Church looking so radiant and in recent times they have taken on extra work to ensure that every part of the Church is kept to the highest standard of cleanliness. Their dedication to this work is a joy to witness, we thank them sincerely in all they do. Well done Noreen and Margaret, you are a great team!
To Paul, Gerry and all involved in preparing and delivering the dinners from Knockanure Community Centre, well done to one and all.
Finally, to the twenty-six volunteers who are helping the Pastoral Council and myself to insure that the proper procedures are in place for the reopening the Churches.
PLEASE DON’T BE ANXIOUS
I am delighted to announce that Moyvane Church will be opening on Monday 29th June with an evening Mass inside the Church at 7.30pm. Eighty worshipers can attend. Please don’t be anxious – in your own time and when you feel happy and safe to return, I will be there please God to welcome you. In simple terms with the guidance of Health & Safety Officer, Adam Farrell and Ian Coll, Director of Training at Cleanstyle Ltd we have put in place a thorough plan which will include keeping social distancing and a virucidal cleaner which will clean all contact surfaces before and after each Mass. The Pastoral Council, the twenty-six volunteers and myself will insure you that the highest practices in Health & Safety will be adhered to. For our first week, Mass will be each evening in Moyvane Church at 7.30pm. This will be reviewed on a weekly basis with regards to having Mass in Knockanure. Next weekend’s Newsletter, which hopefully will be out on Thursday 25th, will have detailed information as to the procedures we encourage you to follow. Rather than giving you a huge list this weekend which maybe overpowering, there are three main principles to adhere to as we open our Church.
1. Arrive in good time for the celebration approximately from 7.10pm on and be guided by the stewards.
2. Please cooperate fully with the stewards and go to the seat they allot you to. Please do not insist on sitting on your regular seat or staying at the back of the Church. Parents with children please use the side entrance at the car park side and you will shown to family seats.
3. Sunday obligation can be fulfilled by attending any one of these weekday Masses or getting Mass on television or any other form of media.
With good common sense we all know the things to avoid in keeping each other safe from this awful unseen C19 virus. Here in Kerry we were all delighted having gone 28 days without any new cases. Then on Wednesday last we were shocked to hear that three new cases were confirmed. Meanwhile, in Whuan where this virus originated in mid-December 2019 have confirmed this week 13 new cases. Their food markets looked awful on television as they reopened. Have they learned anything? Let us all be alert and let God keep us safe.

MUTINY: June 1920, The Listowel RIC Mutiny had all the ingredients of high drama. It was triggered off by the visit of ex-war hero, Colonel Gerald Bryce Ferguson Smyth, Divisional Police Commissioner for Munster. However, the situation had been building up for some days. See story at
Kerry Writers Museum com. Also on the site is a fine example of copper work produced by local man Tony O’Callaghan.
GREEN: Most of our clothes made of plastic, majority of people eat processed food, taxpayers are the largest purchasers of weed killers, Our controllers are putting up mileage on big cars, and getting paid for it, you need a licence to keep a domestic animal, anyone can object to planning 200 miles away, delay projects and hunt jobs into the big cities. Low Farm Prices for beef and grain, active farmers overworked and then many idle before their time, food waste, health service for ageing population, The new government will have many issues to contend with including preventing a cow farting and belching. Will lawn cutting be banned, because it is damaging the environment.

BOOK: The world-famous novel Ulysses by James Joyce is celebrated every June on what has become known internationally as Bloomsday. This is because the famous novel is set on a single day, the 16th of June 1904.
CORONAVIRUS has triggered the worst domestic migration crisis on the Indian subcontinent since Partition in 1947. Millions of unemployed wage labourers have left crowded cities for the countryside. There are 70 million refugees, asylum seekers, and other displaced people around the world. Tarbert Church, St. Mary’s Church will only hold about 60 people based on current social distancing recommendations. Ballybunion Church will hold only about 65 people. A family of four could easily sit side by side, people go to church for about 40 minutes per week. For some protection It would be easy, to make facemask with a piece of clear plastic and reuse it, as the virus may be with us for months or years.
PLASTIC: Estimated we consume about a spoonful of microscopic plastic in our water supply weekly. What is happening to all the disposable protection clothes and gloves. Marine bacteria Prochlorococcus, which produces ten percent of the oxygen we breathe, grows slower than normal because plastic pollution changes its gene expression. All the plastic protection clothes, will have an ever ending impact on the environment, if carelessly disposed. Israeli scientists have develop a self-disinfecting face mask.

(Inserted in this week’s Moyvane Newsletter at the request of Hannah & family)
The following is a beautiful reflection which Willie Pearse’s grand-daughter Claire shared lovingly at his funeral Mass.
The love we have for Grandad Willie, will never fade away,
we’ll think of him, our special friend, throughout each passing day.
We’ll walk into the room and see his empty chair; Although we know he’s resting, we’ll feel his presence there.
With the power of the world, he had it in his hand, we’ll sit and laugh together, the memory will withstand.
The memories of his laughter his warm and loving smile, his eyes so full of happiness his heart that of a child.
Memories are forever be they laughter or of tears. Memories we will treasure through all the coming years.
