THOUGHT: Things great have small beginnings. Every downpour is just a raindrop; every fire is just a spark; every harvest is just a seed; every journey is just a step because without that step there will be no journey; without that raindrop there can be no shower; without that seed there can be no harvest. — William Wilberforce.

Moyvane hosts a week long mission
BY STEPHEN STACK
THE North Kerry village of Moyvane is this week preparing to host a weeklong parish mission coinciding with the Golden Jubilee year of the local church in the parish.
“The Church of the Assumption in Moyvane is this year celebrating its fiftieth year and a mission is a suitable way to celebrate the Golden Jubilee for our church,” said Parish Priest, Fr John Lucid.
The mission opens on Saturday, March 18 with a special vigil mass, commencing at 8pm.

Moyvane Church celebrates 50 years at the heart of the community
BY DÓNAL NOLAN
IT was a Vigil Mass with a difference in Moyvane on Saturday night when the entire community came together to celebrate 50 years of the Church of the Assumption.
Indeed, community was very much the main concept of the night where, at the behest of Parish Priest Fr. John Lucid, many of the sporting and cultural organisations active in the parish paraded into the church under colourful banners.
“We were very pleased with this aspect of the night,” Fr Lucid told The Kerryman. “We wanted to thank all these community groups, from the GAA to the ICA, for their many of years of support to both the population and the church. It was wonderful to see them all line out and we had a most enjoyable evening afterwards,” he said.
Concelebrating the Mass were Bishop Bill Murphy and Fr Pat Ahern – two men the parish were delighted to have sharing in their celebrations.
One other member of the clergy present on the night with deep ties to the church was Fr Thomas Hickey. He was there to celebrate the church’s Golden Jubilee 40 years after he said his last Mass as a curate in the parish.
Reunited with old friends, Fr. Hickey – who was responsible for setting up the Plain Players Drama Group in 1965 which went on to tour the country including a stint at the Abbey with Lady Gregory’s Spreading the News – thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
