BOOK- “Miles to go before I sleep”. Sample of material in book written by Claire Gilbert, who was a regular visitor to the parish: Wednesday 30th June
I become fascinated by the apparently grumpy old man opposite me in mothercare. He doesn’t acknowledge my nod but stares; only he is sweet with the nurses, then he has a loud conversation on his phone, his mask a chin strap, about being taken around Kew in a wheelchair and a friend who is performing in Riverdance. He lives in Lewisham. I wonder what his story is.
We stagger back to Hastings. I feel a bit grim but not nauseous and not feverish; the night is grim too but nothing dramatic.
Thursday 1st July
I am low as always on these post-chemotherapy days, but also I have sparks of joy and life shooting up inside me as I remember, keep remembering, I have only two more infusions. It is the same life that sparked inside me when I was at my lowest during the stem cell transplant. Resurrection. Joy. I’m so excited! Contact bookshop in Listowel for copy of book.
POPE:— As the world prays for Pope Francis to enjoy a full recovery following his colon surgery, doctors are busy explaining symptomatic stenotic diverticulitis, the condition afflicting the 84-year-old pontiff.

Within two days of undergoing the surgery July 4 in Gemelli Hospital in Rome, the pontiff was able to get out of bed for a walk and eat breakfast.
GRANDPARENTS: Father Roger Landry Blogs- July 6, 2021
Many countries have special days to honor grandparents.
Some choose fixed days: Poland celebrates on Jan. 21 (grandmothers) and 22 (grandfathers); the Netherlands, June 4; Brazil, Portugal and Spain on July 26; Mexico on Aug. 28; Italy on Oct. 2; and Russia on Oct. 28.
Others choose specific Sundays: The United States, together with Bangladesh, Estonia and the Philippines, on the second Sunday of September; France, the first Sunday of March; Taiwan, the last Sunday of August; Japan, the third Sunday of September; the United Kingdom, the first Sunday of October; Hong Kong, Germany and Pakistan, the second Sunday of October; Australia, the last Sunday of October; South Sudan, the second Sunday of November; and Singapore, the fourth Sunday of November.
But the vast majority of the world’s 197 countries don’t have a day to honour our parents’ parents. The United Nations, which has 190 international days, does not have one for grandparents.
BALLYDONOGHUE: Dear Parishioner, I write to inform you that from this summer, the parish of Ballydonoghue will no longer have a priest resident in the parish. Each of the priests in the North Kerry pastoral area will now minister to the parish of Ballydonoghue with one priest taking the lead role as Moderator. Ballydonoghue will continue to be a separate parish and will continue to have the fullness of parish life. In the coming months the Diocesan Pastoral Team will guide and support the parish and pastoral area through this time of transition. While the decrease in the number of clergy in the diocese is regrettable, there is a positive dimension to this new reality. It provides an opportunity for laity to take their rightful place in leadership roles in all our parishes. Due to the commitment of clergy and laity and the preparation that has been underway throughout the diocese at parish and pastoral area level, I believe Ballydonoghue parish and the North Kerry pastoral area will adjust well. I offer you, the people and the priests of the North Kerry pastoral area, my support at this time. I will keep you in my prayers as you strive to respond to this new situation. I regret that this news comes to you as Covid-19 continues to cause great difficulties. May the completion of the vaccination program make a real difference. May God watch over us all with his Fatherly care. Yours sincerely, + Ray Browne, Bishop of Kerry

BURIAL GROUND/GRAVEYARD MASSES Kerry County Council has issued clarification in relation to the holding of burial ground masses during the Summer of 2021. The clarification is as follows: – Kerry County Council believes that it would be unwise at this particular juncture to permit the holding of burial ground masses which would result in the creation of gatherings of people, in accordance with the current public health guidelines, but will reconsider this request when the Government next review the reopening of society and the economy later this Summer (subject to the public health situation at the time).

The great and undetectable detective
7 July marked the anniversary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s death – a master of mystery thrillers and compelling detective fiction, and creator of the famous Sherlock Holmes. For decades, many have questioned whether Sherlock was just a character devised in Doyle’s mind or if the great detective truly existed and remained undetected.
