News, April 22nd.

Please pray for the repose of the souls of the following:

Anne O'Malley, the mother of Amanda Dempsey, 41 Grangemore.
Paddy O'Connor, the brother of Maureen Burke, McDara Road.
Patsy Hanafin, the brother of Mrs Dodd, 112 Inishannagh Park.
Bernie Nash, Clare.

May the angels greet them...

The Easter Offerings are being taken up throughout the Sundays of April.
If we could have your Trócaire boxes by May 1st we would be most grateful.

We congratulate all the boys and girls who made their First Confession today from our school and a big thank you to the teachers and all who prepared them so well.

Tonight we have the Ceremony of Light for the Confirmation Children, always a very moving moment when the parents pass on the Baptismal Candle to the children indicating that as Confirmed Christians they will now be responsible for carrying that light. Confirmation is on Friday week, May 2nd.

Every Tuesday our Mass is offered for all our sick and ill, all those in our Book of the Sick and all those in need of healing wherever they are, in our hospitals, our hospice, our clinic, our homes. To include anyone in our Book of the Sick just pop in after any of the Masses or call into Bernie on Monday's, Wednesday's or Fridays from 10:30 until 1:00 in the Parish Office (Tel:524305).May the healing Lord visit them all.

Thanks for all your ideas to date for the Twenty Fifth Birthday/ Silver Jubilee of the Church in June. A good meeting was had on the same last Wednesday and thanks to all who attended. Keep those ideas rolling in!!!
