SCOIL CHORP CHRÍOST FIRST HOLY COMMUNION:  The parents of the 2020 Scoil Chorp Chríost First Holy Communion class, have approached Fr. Kevin and the principal Mrs. Donegan, seeking approval for the forthcoming Holy Communion ceremony to take place in the Church of Assumption, Moyvane, in order to fully comply with social distancing guidelines and to allow siblings to attend. Fr. Kevin and Mrs Donegan have kindly agreed that this is a more suitable arrangement in these difficult times. The First Holy Communion will take place on Saturday the 12th of September at 11.30am in the Church of Assumption, Moyvane.

MURHUR N.S. FIRST HOLY COMMUNION:  This celebration will take place on Saturday 22nd August at  1pm in the Church of the Assumption, Moyvane.  Both schools are actively communicating with parents regarding safe numbers for both celebrations.

CEMETERY MASSES:  As you are aware our Cemetery Masses have been cancelled for this year.  However, as this coming week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday would have been the dates for these celebrations can I suggest the following:  Monday 3rd Ahavoher Cemetery – all who have loved ones buried in this Cemetery would light a candle at home and pray the Angelus either at 12noon or at 6pm.  In the same way on Tuesday for those buried in Knockanure Cemetery and on Wednesday for those buried in Murhur.  If these times are not suitable choose your own time but please honour it with prayer and if possible, a lighted candle in honour of the good men and women who have gone before us marked with the sign

of faith.  We pray that this year in particular they will pray for us in the presence of the Risen Lord that we will continue to be safe and well during these anxious times.  May they Rest In Peace.  A prayerful visit to either of our Churches would honour them in an extra special way.  Moyvane Church open from 10am to 5pm daily and Knockanure Church open from 11am to 3pm daily.

BOOK Masses (Months Minds & Anniversaries) Baptisms & Weddings during Office hours. Office times: Closed Mon 2nd; Open Tues 10am – 1pm; Closed Wed; Thurs 10am-12; Thurs 10-1.  068/49308.

MASS TIMES:  The church in Abbeyfeale is now fully reopened and will seat 50 in the body of the church , 42 in one side aisle and 39 in the other.  All Masses will be stewarded and the church will be fully sanitised after each Mass .   Mass on Monday at 7pm,  Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 10am except if there is a funeral then Mass will be at 11am,  Mass on Saturday morning at 11am.  Vigil Mass on Saturday evening at 6.30pm and Sunday Masses at 10am and 12 noon.

FLOWERS are in full bloom along many road margins, pity the main roads are cut before the flower.

Dead head roses, as they prevent a second bloom. Hanging baskets in the village of Athea are looking great.

TOILETS: Now that most of the usual toilets are not accessible, it prevents many from going places, elderly men frequently need toilets. Surely the council could provide some basic urinals. Drinking water should also be provided, for people to fill their bottles.

HOME Schooling should also be practised this year for those who are capable of doing the job and it would relieve the schools and taxpayers of making provisions, which may to be discarded next year, it would be also good for the environment.

ROAD works costing E600.000 are to be carried out in the district according to recent reports, no breakdown on the cost of the actual roadwork. Many are complaining about the view at junctions being impaired by shrubbery.

LNG:  When the Corrib gas runs out we will be dependent on UK goodwill to supply us with gas.

God’s will be done! And thou art dead—

Dear friend we lov’d so well!

Our heartfelt grief o’er your demise

Nor pen nor tongue can tell:

The kindly voice that, others cheered

When grief-clouds “dark hunger,

Alas, is hush’d in Death’s long Slot

And still’d for evermore!

Bishop John J O’Connor going to Europe;

While I am in Europe I hope to enjoy myself hugely, visiting the scenes of my early life and meeting old friends. There are some however, that I will not see on this earth.” the bishop sadly said, “for they have passed away. Many changes have taken place even in the staid Old world during the quarter of a century that I have been away from it” Monsignor Stafford said that Bishop O’Connor would undoubtedly conduct the services and preach at least once In the Mechlin Cathedral, Belgium where he was ordained twenty-six years ago. Both be and Bishop O’Connor said they would probably remain in Europe until early In June when they would return home
