MUSIC: The first device for algorithmically composing music comes to us surprisingly early: in the 1600s. Looking something like an overcomplicated and miniaturized chest of drawers, it allowed even complete amateurs to compose four-part church music. They could start with a text in verse to set to music, choose whether they wanted music in a simple or florid style, and the rest was achieved by mixing and matching the entries carved into the device’s many little wooden tablets, ultimately converting the results into musical notes

The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary: 7th October
The tradition of blessing roses on this day is an old one.
It is recorded in the Annals of the Rosary that many favours have been obtained, both
spiritual and temporal, through the virtue of these blessed roses. Indeed, we are
told that thousands of sick persons have been cured by using them devoutly.
This feast was established by Pope Saint Pius V to commemorate the victory of the
Christian naval fleet of the Holy League, which contained the Papal States, against
the Muslim Turks of the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto off the coast of
Turkey on 7th October 1571. The Christian fleet was commanded by Don Juan of
Austria. The Christian victory in that sea battle was a hugely significant one for the
future of Christianity in Europe, in that if the Christians had lost that battle, much of
Europe would probably be Muslim today. Saint Pius V, who was a Dominican and
Pope from 1566 until 1572, credited Our Lady with the victory since on the eve of the
battle he had recited the Rosary as he led a Rosary Procession, praying for success
the following day. The Rosary was revealed to Saint Dominic (1170 – 1221) by the
Blessed Mother about the beginning of the thirteenth century and is one of the most
beautiful of all devotions. After the victory Pope Saint Pius V declared that “The
Feast of Our Lady of Victory” would be celebrated on 7th October the following year
(1572). He himself died earlier that year on 1st May 1572. His successor, Pope
Gregory XIII, changed the title of the feast to “The Feast of the Holy Rosary”. In 1960
Saint Pope John XXIII changed the title to “The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary”. The
feast is a celebration of the great prayer which the Rosary is, as we meditate on key
events or moments in the lives of Jesus and his mother Mary.
OUR LADY OF FATIMA Feast: occurs on the 13th October, we recall the miracle of the sun that occurred that day in 1917, when Our Blessed Mother visited Fatima.
ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT MISSION WEEK in Listowel: Will take place on Tuesday and Thursday after 10.30am. Mass till 6 pm. each day in the adoration room.

The other two remaining panes will be completed next year P.G.. This has all been possible due to your generosity as the complete project will cost in excess of €60,000 over the two years. Thanks for your generosity. UPHOLSTERY OF SEATS: We are also in the process of upholstering some seats of the church on a phased basis. We completed the Sanctuary during the week and have started doing the seats and kneelers of the front nine seats in the front section in front of the Altar.
