THOUGHT: “Not how much of my money will I give to God, but how much of His money will I keep for myself”. Anonymous. Think of the old cliché about “the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master”.
ST PIO night in Lixnaw church was on Nov. 19th 2013, talk was given by Padre Pio devotee and author Colm Keane. His recent book entitled ‘Scent of Roses’.
Padre Pio was also known to have the gift of bilocation – the ability to be in more than one place simultaneously. Though he almost never left his monastery, he was seen elsewhere as testified and documented by many witnesses.
DEATH occurred at St. Ita’s Hospital, Newcastle West of Catherine (Kit) Shine of Dalton Street, Athea. Deceased, whose maiden name was Fitzgerald, was a native of Keale North but lived most of her life in Athea. She was pre-deceased by her late husband Dan Shine several years ago. Kit, who had reached her 90’s, was a very religious person and a regular attendant at the Masses in her local Church. She also visited Lourdes and many pilgrimages. Up to a few years ago she could be regularly seen out on her bicycle cycling through the village or on the way to visit her brother Tom in Keale.
Few weeks ago since her daughter Breda Carey died . She was married to retired Garda Jerry Carey who was a native of Galway. Kit Shine was laid to rest at Holy Cross Cemetery after requiem Mass on 17th November 2013.
DEATH has taken place of Jack Connolly, Ballymuddagh, Glin, on November 16th, 2013, (in his 97th year). He is survived by his wife Mary, sons Patrick, Thomas, Gerard, John, daughters Ann, Sally, Una and Mairead, Predeceased by his son Joseph. Also survived by daughters-in-law Elaine and Anne and Thomas’s partner Maureen, sons-in-law Charles and Thomas, grandchildren Laura, Michael, Robert, Jack and Thomas, sister-in- law Sr. Josephine (Fermoy) In the Church of the Immaculate Conception Glin, Requiem Mass was celebrated for Jack Connolly on 19th November 2013, Burial in Kilfergus Cemetery, Glin.
Killeaney AFC club members extend sympathies to Tom Connolly, Treasurer of the club, on the death of his father Jack Connolly at the ripe old age of 97. Jack had been active until very recently. He was featured in the 2nd Vanishing Ireland book. Jack was noted for his great memory and the editor, Turtle Bunbury, had this to say about him in the book “Jack is a quietly lucid individual. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of family pedigrees in the area. Not only is he able to identify any man or woman down to their nearest (or farthest) second cousin twice removed, but he can reel off the year of their birth, their occupation and their present address.” Sympathies to Tom, his mother Mary and all the Connolly families.
