PARISH Gathering; in his Pastoral Letter, “Moving Forward in Hope”, Bishop Ray invites all parishioners to participate in a consultation process to shape the future of pastoral areas and parishes. A consultation gathering will be held in our parish of Moyvane/Knockanure on Tuesday 5th March 2024 at 7.30pm in the Marian Hall, Moyvane. As preparation for the gathering, you are invited to reflect on the following three questions: 1. Without the presence of a priest to lead and coordinate, what aspects of parish life could we, the laity, take responsibility for and organise ourselves? 2. Where do we see scope for cooperation with neighbouring parishes in our pastoral area? 3. Given what Bishop Ray has said about reducing numbers and increasing age, what do we want to say to priests? Many thanks for your support and assistance for this consultation.
Nature Trail; 1. There will be some details from those organising the Consultation. 2. Currently, The Local Nature Trail is part of St. Brendan’s Trust (diocese of Kerry). It is being proposed by the diocesan property manager, that it be handed over to Kerry County Council with conditions that it remain a public amenity. Since it is linked to the parish through St. Brendan’s Trust, as parishioners, your views are welcome.

McElligott, Michael
Hagan, John, 1873-1930
Description
Holograph letter from Michael McElligott, Keel, Kilflynn, County Kerry, to the Holy Father. Serious complaint against his parish priest, Fr. J. O’Sullivan of Dorney, who has been refusing to attend at funerals, allegedly because a priest at a graveyard was ‘only a show off’. His own father and brother, and eleven listed parishioners were buried ‘like animals’. The priest does however see to funerals outside the parish when ‘rich people’ are involved. Emphasising that ‘us McElligott’s took no part in politics only earning our hire’. (Letter stamped ‘returned to’ Congregation for Religious, handwritten remark on the letter having been sent by the Archbishop of Dublin on 20 December 1923.) [2 November 1923- 9 January 1924]

WATER: Uisce Éireann said it took advice from the HSE concerning THMs and drinking water. It said the advice was that the “benefits of using chlorine to treat our drinking water are much greater than any possible health risk from THMs”.
This is also the World Health Organisation position which states that adequate disinfection should never be compromised to control THMs, added Uisce Éireann.
However, Friends of the Irish Environment, which made the original complaint about THMs in drinking water in 2010, said the issue was not about disinfection.
“Nobody wants to stop disinfecting supplies. What is required by the EU Drinking Water Directive is to eliminate the THMs,” said its director Tony Lowes (80). “People could do this themselves with a €70 charcoal filter, but Uisce Éireann needs to warn consumers about that.”

INDIA: Christianity, with approximately 28 Million Indian followers constitute 2.3 percent of India’s population. It is traditionally believed that Christianity was introduced to India by Thomas the Apostle, who supposedly landed in Muziris, Kerala in AD 52 and traveled along the coast to Goa spreading the word of Christ.
Roman Catholicism was first introduced to India by Portuguese, Italian and Irish Jesuits in the 16th century to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ among Indians. Most Christian schools, hospitals, primary care centers originated through the Roman Catholic missions brought by the trade of these countries. Evangelical Protestantism was later spread to India by the efforts of British, American, German, Scottish missionaries. These Protestant missions were also responsible for introducing English education in India for the first time and were also accountable in the first early translations of the Holy Bible in various Indian languages (including Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, Urdu and others).

A WRITER whose research into the ‘disappeared’ led to the discovery of one of the bodies has revealed that the practice has been in use in Ireland for some 200 years.
Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc has spent the past decade researching the fate of the ‘disappeared’, those who were abducted by the IRA, secretly executed and had their bodies buried in remote bogs, lakes and woodlands never to be found again.
In 2018 Ó Ruairc’s research led to the recovery of the remains of one those victims, the British soldier Private George Chalmers, who had been executed by the IRA in 1921 and secretly buried in a remote bog.
The Clare-born historian, who has a BA in Archaeology from University College Dublin and a PhD in History from the University of Limerick, continues to research the brutal phenomenon.

A NOTE; As we pray for guidance as we plan for the future of our parish, I heard a fitting reflection recently. A poem called ‘Teamwork’. It reminded me of the Waterford hurler Dan Shanahan’s book entitled ‘There’s No i in team’. A community, parish or club will have no future if individualism takes over. Teamwork by Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959). It’s all very well to have courage and skill and it’s fine to be counted a star, but the single deed with its touch of thrill doesn’t tell the man you are;
For there’s no lone hand in the game we play, We must work to a bigger scheme, and the thing that counts in the world today Is, How do you pull with the team?
They may sound your praise and call you great, They may single you out for fame, But you must work with your running mate or you’ll never win the game; Oh, never the work of life is done by the man with a selfish dream, for the battle is lost or the battle is won by the spirit of the team. You may think it fine to be praised for skill but a greater thing to do is to set your mind and set your will on the goal that’s just in view; It’s helping your fellow man to score when his chances hopeless seem; It’s forgetting self-till the game is o’er and fighting for the team.
From Jim Lenihan
