Over the years it has become a great parish and community event. The visit to Killeenagh Well in Dromtrasna, Abbeyfeale, has a special link with the celebration of Confirmation in the parish. On Tuesday 26th of March, the children who received Confirmation this year, took part in what is called the ‘Abbeyfeale Initiative’. This is a programme on healthy life choices, run by the Catholic Church for Confirmation students with the help of Transition Year students, who are trained to deliver the programme to the children in sixth class. It has been up and running very successfully in the parish for eleven years.
The programme concludes with the annual walk to Killeenagh Holy Well, where the young people from the Confirmation Class make a commitment to abstain from alcohol and drugs during their teenage years. As an acknowledgment of their participation in the programme, the children receive wrist bands which are very popular with them, and the visit to the Well concludes with a barbecue on Cotter’s farmyard. We are grateful to the Cotter family for hosting us once again. Put next Sunday 26th of May in your diary and join us for the Walk and barbecue. People should assemble at Dromtrasna School at 2.45p.

Kerry County Board Annual Convention, was told that 1956 was a good year for Kerry GAA, although they did not win one all Ireland title. 195 delegates spent five hours discussing the affairs of the association. American tour expenditure and the fact they let down Kerry by at the Polo Grounds when the lost, but they had three subsequent victories. Banquet at Naas to honour Kildare’s first All-Ireland team of 1905 when they beat Kerry. Games; they had 95 County Championship Games; 351 District Board games; 440 Trophy Games and on top of them, there were many parish leagues.

At Last A Munster Success For Kerry – Minor Title Won at Thurles
KERRY minor footballers battled their way to a well-deserved win over Cork, at Thurles, on Sunday last. The football was never of a really high standard due to the strong breeze which blew diagonally across the field and due also perhaps to the fact that there was a lack of Munster football final atmosphere at this venue.
This was a game which Kerry might well have lost through a combination of ill luck and bad forward finish.
Kerry had two goals disallowed in the first half and in the second half missed two “sitters” at vital stages. They had first use of the breeze and at half time led by a mere five points. – This margin did not seem to be adequate considering the strength of the breeze, and I expected Cork to run out winners at the end. However, at the resumption, the Kerry back line, which was not severely tested in the first half, proved eminently sound and kept the Cork forwards well in check. Nolan, in the Kerry goal had not a very busy day but he made one courageous save at point blank range in the second half, when a goal might well have proved fatal to his side’s chances. The full back line of Conway, Hegarty and Whelan was sound throughout, and Conway’s kicks from goal were of great length even against the breeze. (See paper for much more)

Comments on GAA by “P.F.” Kerry defeat at Waterford, Senior Munster final at Thurles Cork easily beat Waterford. Higher standard of football in the Minor game, Kerry defeated Cork, Kerry regain the title they last held in1954. (see paper for commentary).

When the Kerry and Armagh minor footballers took the field at Croke Park, on Sunday, to contest the All-Ireland semi-final, it was obvious that the northerners were by far the bigger and heavier team. And with a heavy ball and in tiring conditions it was this physical advantage which took Armagh through to the final on the score 3-7 to 3-5.
In the 24th minute when Denis Hegarty in, trying to pick up the greasy ball, put It through his own, goal. Murphy pointed a free on the, 27th and Halpenny had a similar score just on hall-time, leaving the score at the interval: Kerry 2-4, Armagh 1-4. Kerry got away to a great start on resuming, when they were awarded a penalty. Callaghan’s kick was saved, but Geaney rushing in swept the ball to the corner of the net
Halpenny replied with a point from a free, and McMahon, in a Kerry attack, hit-the crossbar with a rasping shot for goal. Armagh returned to the attack and the burly Halpenny rushed home a goal, from a lob by Murphy.
(Names mentioned include Sean Dunne was not tall enough to play at full-forward and should have been switched to the corner. Griffin could have done better at full-forward. Geaney would have been ideal for forty mark. Brian OCallaghan nippy and clever in left corner. Jack Whelan had good game at left-full. Louis Nolan Goalkeeper, good. Alan Conway showed in experience, but kicked well. Nine of team eligible for next year, exceptions being Hegarty, Clifford, O’Riordan, O’Connor, Griffin and Dunne.)
Since 2015, our nation’s average life expectancy has been declining — suggesting that the toll of American despair can no longer be outpaced by technological or medical advancements. In 2017 alone, approximately 47,000 Americans committed suicide, and over 70,000 individuals died of a drug overdose. To put these number into perspective, 40,000 Americans died in motor vehicles accident during that same year, while roughly 58,000 U.S. soldiers died in the Vietnam War as a whole.
