NEW HORIZONS for the Parish. In light of a need for more accountable structures indicated by the diocese, the Parish Societies need to be reviewed. Because of this and various happenings in the Parish (Covid/change of Parish administration etc.), I invited feedback in February. It does not serve much purpose to go through the different perspectives in detail but what in general emerged was a desire for a return to “normality”, concern to re-engage those who have moved away, a need to better include youth of different stands (altar servers, choirs etc.) Other items included some need for more extended newsletters, better Mass times, Church maintenance (current and future), adult education (retreats/lectures/seminars), a retirement village. Parish representation mainly through the Pastoral Council and Finance Committee is appreciated but included a strong call for renewal. This pivoted on the need for regular replacement of members in the interest of vitality and better inclusion. For this, various people were proposed. As a follow up and initial step, the pastoral council and finance committee will soon be reframed as the Parish looks ahead. CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION 2022: Following cancelation of our Corpus Christi Procession during the Covid period we hope to have hold our Annual Corpus Christi Procession on Saturday, 18th June immediately after the Vigil Mass of the Feast of Corpus Christi at 7.00 p.m..

LABOUR and Farmers 100 years ago. In County Kerry, labour organisations turned to co-operative principles to secure the economic interests of their members. In November 1918, The Irish Homestead reported the establishment of a workers’ co-operative store in Tralee. The following January, the ITGWU established another co-operative store in the market town of Listowel ‘for the benefit of the workers’. Located in Kerry’s most urbanised areas, these stores reflected the ITGWU’s desire to use co-operative methods to benefit the local consumers, the same group from which the trade union’s members were drawn. The IAOS exhibited an uneasy relationship with organised labour. By May 1919, antagonisms between co-operators and the trade union movement emerged. AE hoped that workers continued to establish co-operative societies, but grew anxious about their autonomy from the IAOS’s authority. AE suggested that trade unions might be better served through incorporation into the IAOS. He wondered if: trade union leaders would communicate with the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society, so that investigation may be made, and it may be seen whether labour would be better advantaged by coming in with farmers in starting a single strong society catering for both.68Such collaboration never occurred, which confirmed a distance between co-operating farmers and organised labour. Rural labourers looked to the ITGWU for leadership, whilst the IAOS represented landowning farmers. This reflected the inability of the IAOS to make significant progress into towns. The IAOS ceded influence over urban interests to a mixture of private industry, commercial interests and trade unions. This situation confirmed the IAOS’s reputation as a rural producers’ organisation. The

==============================
ITALY is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and we started in the mountains of the north, traveled through the heartland, along the Adriatic Coast, and all the way to Rome. We visited Milan, Pavia, Florence, Siena, Assisi, Loreto, Manoppello, Lanciano, Padre Pio’s San Giovanni Rotondo, and ended in Rome, with wine tasting, cooking classes, special guides like art historian, Liz Lev, and visits to amazing churches and shrines along the way https://www.travelitalyexpert.
==================== May 16 to 20th marks Dementia Awareness Week; a campaign of huge importance as not enough is understood about vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s or other similar diseases of the brain. Last year, the Baring Foundation commissioned a consultation with care homes entitled ‘Arts and Culture in Every Care Home?’ . This was a national call to arms, promoting the importance of a daily cultural or arts offer for elders in care homes, including people living with dementia. Having a dog can be excellent for those suffering from dementia. They provide an outlet of social interaction and support, and can bring some confidence to people’s lives. ============================== KILMORNA Forest Many bird species occur in the Kilmorna Forest but most of these are shy and secretive, and occur at low densities. Fruit and insect-eating birds often move around in mixed-species groups, particularly in the dry winter months when they are not breeding. This explains why it is possible to walk for long periods and see no birds, then suddenly be confronted with a whole mob. Birdwatching in any forest is always a challenge, however, as birds will hear you coming long before you see them, and they hide among shadows on the forest floor or move directly overhead in the leafy canopy. The garden around the manor provides the best birdwatching opportunities as forest-dwelling species come to the fringes. Ten of the ‘specials’ including Narina Trogon and Olive Woodpecker – are featured in our Star Birds chart and a full bird checklist is available. African Crowned Eagle may sometimes be seen soaring above the forest, while Knysna and Purple-crested Turacos (louries) feed on the Wild-plum and other fruits. https://www.kilmornamanor.co.

USA: Governor Kathy Hochul is unveiling plans to strengthen New York’s gun laws today. Bishops in New Jersey are speaking out after Governor Phil Murphy’s proposal to expand abortion access in the state. The Senate is expected to pass a Ukraine aid package on Thursday.
============================== PRAYER TO ST. ROCH: O Blessed St. Roch, Patron of the sick, have pity on those who lie upon a bed of suffering. Your power was so great when you were in this world, that by the sign of the Cross many were healed of their diseases. Now you are in Heaven your power is no less. Offer to God our sighs and tears and obtain for us the physical, mental. and spiritual health we seek. This we ask though Christ our Lord. Amen. St. Roch pray for us, that we may be preserved from all diseases of body and Soul.
WORD: Life is made up of getting and giving – forgetting and forgiving. —————————— Take Time Take time to think, it is the source of all power. Take time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth. Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom. Take time to pray, it is the greatest power on earth. Take time to love and be loved, it is a God given privilege. Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness. Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul. Take time to give, it is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to work, it is the price of success. Take time to do charity, it is the key to Heaven.
—————————— POPE FRANCIS ON SUNDAY’S GOSPEL: “The Gospel reading for this Sixth Sunday of Easter presents a passage of the discourse that Jesus addressed to the Apostles at the Last Supper. Today the Lord invites us to open our heart to the gift of the Holy Spirit, so that he may guide us on the paths of history. Day by day, he teaches us the logic of the Gospel, the logic of welcoming love, by ‘teaching us all things’ and reminding us ‘of all the Lord has said to us’. May Mary, whom in this month of May we venerate as our heavenly mother, always protect us all. May she who, with humble and courageous faith, fully cooperated with the Holy Spirit, help us too to allow ourselves to be taught and guided by the Paraclete, so that we may welcome the Word of God and witness to it with our lives. —————————— Prayer I put before Him the crowded day, I try to hear what his voice will say. If others are right and I am wrong, am I the weak or are they the strong ? I place my thoughts and feelings o’re, as I gaze upon the little Golden Door.
Today dear Lord I may forget you. Please do not forget me. Jesus and Mary I always pray, ever be with me on my way.
Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen in my life today, that you and I won’t handle together. ==============================
