DON’T FORGET HAITI.... HELP TRÓCAIRE.
This Monday, July 12th, marks six months since Haiti was devastated by a massive earthquake. Immediately after the disaster, parishes across Ireland answered Haiti’s call for help and held collections for Trócaire’s emergency response. As part of Caritas Internationalis, the world's second biggest humanitarian network, we can rapidly access communities in disaster-stricken countries. These close links make sure your donations reach suffering people immediately and that, together, we can save lives.
Parishes like ours helped raised €4,681,168, which is now rebuilding shattered lives across Haiti. Thanks to your generosity, Trócaire has provided:
• Shelter to 900,000 people
• Life-saving healthcare to one million people
• Food to one and a half million people
• Help rebuilding schools and hospitals
• School-feeding programmes
• Safe places for children in five main temporary camps
• Trauma counselling and education for affected children
We are now planning a major five-year rebuilding and reconstruction programme. Your support at this crucial time has helped the country take its first steps towards a new future. Thank you from Trócaire and most importantly, the people of Haiti. For more information visit:

Galway Cathedral Recitals 2010.
Galway Cathedral Recitals is delighted to announce its seventeenth annual series of summer concerts.
The 2010 series runs over six successive Thursdays from 8 July until 12 August 2010. As always, an exciting and varied season of concerts is in store.
The opening concert on 8 July is an organ recital by Susan Landale. A native of Scotland and now living and working in Paris, Ms Landale is world-renowned as a performer and a teacher.
A special programme of early music is presented on 15 July by Róisín O'Grady and Malcolm Proud. Róisín O'Grady's singing has earned high distinction for her, while Malcolm Proud is also respected around the world for his keyboard performances; this concert will feature both of the Cathedral organs as well as Malcolm's own harpsichord.
Galway Cathedral organist Raymond O'Donnell is a regular part of this annual series. His programme on 22 July will focus on 19th- and 20th-century music of Germany and England.
Uwe Bestert is organist at one of Hamburg's major churches. His programme on 29 July concentrates on German music covering six centuries.
Michael Harrison and Emma Gibbins present a concert of music for trumpet and organ on 5 August.
Finally, the closing concert on 12 August is given by the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne. A frequent and popular visitor to Ireland, the orchestra presents a programme of Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and Tchaikovski in what promises to be an exciting and enjoyable performance.

Saints of the Week.
St. Swithin, July 15th.
Questions people ask.
Q. Who was St Swithin and why is his feast day associated with prediction of the weather?
A. Swithin was Bishop of Winchester, England, in the ninth century. He was a great lover of nature and wished to be buried outdoors where the light of the sun and the sweet rain of heaven might fall on his grave. However, contrary to his wishes, he was buried inside the cathedral. Guess what. It rained cats and dogs for forty days until they decided to transfer his remains outdoors. It may be a nice story but weather records don’t back up the myth.

Kids Corner, July 11th, with Cian and Bella.
Luke 10:25-37 • The Good Samaritan
Bella: Hi there! Cian: What’s up? Hey we just practised our play for the end of year Mass today.
Bella: Well what is it about and what part do you play?
Cian: It’s a modern version of the Good Samaritan and I am a biker guy who crashes his bike and ends up lying there needing help. It is sooooo cool because I get to wear all the leather gear and Eme is the Good Samaritan and she and I have a good laugh doing it. Bella: Duh! Not really supposed to be a laugh Cian! … The message is still as fresh today as it ever was; try to be kind and helpful to all people from all places and all races.
Cian: Yeah I know, but Eme is great fun though and we get on really well since she moved to Ireland, so can’t the Good Samaritan be good fun too?!!!
Remember to be helpful at least once a day, and be helpful with a good heart!
