SYMPATHY: The Knockanure GAA Football Club at this time would like to extend their deepest sympathies with the family of the late Tom Flavin, Trien Road. Tom died peacefully on October 1st 2017 surrounded by his loving family. Tom was predeceased by his wife Bridie (neé Buckley). Tom and Bridie are both sadly missed by their children Patrick, Thomas, Helen and Mairead, Daughters and Sons-in Law, Brothers and Sister-in-laws, Tom’s sister Nell, grandchildren, extended families of both the Flavin’s and Buckley’s, neighbours and friends.

Tom played an integral role in the history of Knockanure GAA Football Club where he held each position within the Football Club itself – from Player to Chairman and beyond. His list of contributions did not cease there. He held a highly regarded Officer position within the North Kerry Board along with including the position of performing as Referee to his recognized list of lifetime achievements. Sadly missed by his wide circle of friends, our prayers and thoughts are with his family at this time. May he Rest In Peace.

NOVEMBER INDULGENCES for the Faithful Departed: At this time of the year, the Church invites us to remember our Faithful Departed and to give them a special share in the prayer of the Church and the Saints. Because of this, particular forms of prayer attract either a ‘partial indulgence’ (bringing the faithful departed closer to heavenly glory) or a ‘plenary indulgence’ (bringing on of the faithful departed into the fullness of heavenly glory.)

On All Souls’ Day visiting a church to pray an Our Father and a Creed carries with it an indulgence.

Between 1 November and 8 November, visiting a cemetery to pray for the Faithful Departed carries with it an indulgence.

One indulgence can be earned in any given day.

For the indulgence to be a Plenary (or Full) indulgence, the following are required.

1. To receive Holy Communion within 20 days of the indulgence

2. To make a Sacramental Confession within 20 days of the indulgence

3. To pray for the intentions of the Holy Father.

4. To be without attachment to/affection for sin.

BOOK: Golden Jubilee of the Consecration of St. Bernard’s Church, Abbeydorney will be celebrated in June 2018. It is proposed to produce a book to commemorate this occasion, any photographs of events in St. Bernard’s in the past 50 years welcome.

LAW: 50th Anniversary in the UK of the passing into law of Medical Termination of the Pregnancy Bill of 27th October 1967. In 2015 alone, there were 185,824 abortions in England and 12,134 in Wales.

THOUGHT: We cannot properly serve unless we are content. Lacking this virtue will make us prone to view situations from the angle of how will this benefit me? Outward actions and words can appear unselfish or even self-denying, but if they are not founded in contentment, they will be fuelled by self-serving motives. -John Bevere.

ARDAGH: The present Saint Molua’s Church Ardagh blessed and officially opened on October 15 1967. Work on the old Saint Molua’s Church started in 1813 after Fr. James Corbett P.P. received a free site from local landlord Maurice Studdert, who also gave a donation of ten pounds towards the cost of the building. It was completed and opened in 1814 and served until the present Church was built.
