UPDATE COVID 19 MESSAGE FROM KERRY DIOCESAN TEAM
Concerning Religious ceremonies within the document “Reframing the challenge continuing our recovery and reconnecting” which outlines the Government plan for the further easing of public health restrictions over the next few weeks. It is great news that we will be able to welcome more people to our churches from September 6th next. The hope is that on October 22nd, 2021 the majority of all public health restrictions will be lifted, but this will be subject to the prevailing public health advice. It is therefore important that all of the current protective measures continue to be observed so as to ensure that our churches remain safe places for people to visit and attend. The incidence rate of Covid-19 within the Diocese remains a cause for concern and for that reason we recommend the following in relation to
Baptisms, First Holy Communions & Confirmations: –
• Baptisms – Continue to keep numbers attending Baptisms limited to immediate family members, (including Godparents and Grandparents).
• First Holy Communion & Confirmation – Limit the numbers attending to immediate family only, namely, parents and siblings of the child.
We will review the above recommendations on October 22nd, 2021 should there be a further easing of the public health restrictions. As always, further updates, advice, and information can be found on
www.gov.ie or HSE.IE
SACRED SPACE: We have a new Sacred Space in our Cathedral for the next number of weeks in anticipation for the Feast day of St Therese of Lisieux which is on Friday the 1st October 2021. Candles are available to light at the shrine. St. Therese had a simple yet powerful message that still resonates in the hearts of millions today. She died at the age of 24, believing that her life was really just beginning for God, promising to spend her heaven doing good on earth. Her promised ‘shower of roses’ began and has become a torrent in the Church ever since. “The Divine Heart’s Goodness and Merciful Love are little known! It is true that to enjoy these treasures we must humble ourselves, must confess our nothingness – and here is where many a soul draws back.” “It is true that Love knows no such word as ‘impossible’, for it deems ‘all things possible,
all things allowed.’”
CULTURE Night in Listowel celebrated on Friday 17th September In St John’s Theatre & Arts Centre, Listowel -with Butts and Cracks is an exhibition of paintings that delves into the gaps in society and exposes the beauty in observing that which has been neglected and overlooked. So much of our world fades into the background, the backdrop to the stage on which we stand. This work shifts the spotlight onto the backdrop and poses a question; does beauty lay in a moment considered?
Billy Dante’s work explores the mirrored effect of art as life and life as art, fascinated by the spectacle and theatricality of every aspect of our existence.

Dublin Freeman. Rev. Patrick O’Sullivan. Bridgewater, Mass., April 17, 1873. To the Editor of The Pilot. Dear Sir : —lt is our painful duty to announce the death of a young, amiable and pious clergyman, Rev. Patrick O’Sullivan, of Natick, in this diocese. Father O’Sullivan has been suffering from that fell disease—consumption—ever since his ordination, or, perhaps, from an earlier date. His long sufferings he bore with Christian fortitude and. resignation. No murmur ever escaped his lips; on the contrary, he was ever cheerful and fully resigned to his sad affliction. His sufferings were long and unabated. Father O’Sullivan was born in the townland of Derry, parish of Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland, on the 17th of March 1844 and died, therefore, in the 29th year of his age. Father O’Sullivan made his preparatory studies in his native town, and on his arrival in America entered the Seminary of Niagara, where he remained until the destruction of that institution by fire. From Niagara he went to the Seminary of Troy N. Y., and was ordained priest in December, 18G8. In his classes he held a high and honourable position. After his ordination he was appointed to a Mission in Florence’ diocese of Albany, from which his declining health compelled him to retire in a few months. Being no longer able to perform missionary duties, he was compelled to retire from his onerous charge in a few months. He proceeded to the residence of Rev. John Walsh of Natick, Mass., where he remained up to the time of his death. There he was tenderly cared for. Everything was done to alleviate his long and painful sufferings. He was to Father John Welsh and his kind sister a stranger, and yet, during his long suffering, a brother or a mother could not have more tenderly laboured to render him every comfort possible. Father O’Sullivan breathed his last on Easter Sunday. He was buried in the cemetery at Natick, on Tuesday, April 15. A Solemn High Mass, at which the church was crowded was sung for the repose of his soul by his fellow students. Rev. Michael Walsh, of North Brookfield, diocese of Springfield, Rev. Frs. M. Green, Watertown, Lawrence Morris, and Robert Stack were respectively Deacon, Subdeacon, and Master of Ceremonies. Among the other clergymen we noticed in the sanctuary, Frs. Welsh, the pastor; Cuddihy, of Milford; Flood, of Waltham; Ryan and Cullen, of Hopkinton; Quinlan, of Holliston; Conlon of Bridgewater; Rogers of Brighton; and Rossi, of Saxonville. Mr John Sullivan of New York, was present at the deathbed of his Rev brother and attended the sad ceremonies of conducting his remains to the grave. The entire congregation sympathise with him in his sad and trying affliction. May his soul rest in peace.

TREES -Save The Oaks; “It is a small positive action in the midst of a global crisis to save thousands of saplings from destruction and plant them in the UK with love.” This fits exactly with the ethos of Ancient and Sacred Trees love and beauty-as-activism for a Green and Growing CommuniTree.
Last year the media was full of reports about thousands of oak saplings due to be burned because the UK Government had reneged on its’ promise of a national tree planting scheme. It was this that spurred the Save The Oaks Campaign.
Oak trees support over 350 different lifeforms and as they age become ecosystems in their own right.

ST. PATRICK’S BATTALION OF THE MEXICAN ARMY
St. Patrick’s Battalion Of The Mexican Army was made up primarily of Irish Catholic immigrants (along with some Germans and Poles), who deserted the US Army to the Mexican side in their war against the US from 1846-1848. These men fled the Great Hunger in Ireland and joined the US Army. They deserted because of ill-treatment rooted in anti-Catholic sectarianism. Many also felt the US war with Mexico was unjust. The battalion was commanded by Captain John Riley; who gained experience in the British and US Armies. Riley came from Clifden, Co. Galway.
The US Army considered them traitors and a total of 50 were executed by hanging by the order of General Winfield Scott after their capture on three separate occasions. They are considered National Martyrs and heroes in Mexico. They are honoured every St. Patrick’s Day and September 12, the accepted anniversary of their executions.
The Mexican Government erected a monument to Major John Riley in Clifden, Co. Galway as a gift. The San Patricio monument at San Jacinto Plaza in Mexico City reads in Spanish:
“In memory of the Irish soldiers of the heroic St. Patrick’s Battalion, Martyrs who gave their lives for the cause of Mexico during the unjust North American (US) Invasion Of 1847.”
