WRITERS Week and the races brought a diverse crowd to Listowel
last
weekend, the racing crowd appear to come and go without leaving
any
money in the town. While most of the writers are short of money,
at
least they paraded up and down the town and brought some flavour
with
them. Eddie Hobbs was at the Arms on Saturday afternoon and sold
a few
books, the message was too late for some. The discussion on
Irish art
and culture over the next twenty years on Saturday evening
attracted
nearly a full house in the Arms Ballroom. Art and culture
reminds me of
John B Keane who sent some of his early works to the Abbey, they
showed
no interest in his work at first, but later they were like a cow
and a
cock of hay. It is said that Keane glued the corners of some
pages to
see if his work was read, it was noted the pages were still
glued when
copy was returned to him.
CONGRATULATIONS and best wishes to Fr Brendan O Callaghan who
recently
celebrated the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the
Priesthood.
THANKS to our Sacristan Margaret who kept flowers in abundance
during
May around Our Lady’s Altar.
