BEAUTIFUL   IRELAND

Well I’m sure everyone will agree with me that when we get the fabulous weather that we have been experiencing over the past while that there’s no place like our own country for scenery ,music ,peace and tranquility ,lovely beaches ,great food and  a whole lot more .It gives everyone a PEP in their STEP, and puts a smile on all of our faces .So get out and avail of it even if you have to do Gardening etc ,its vital for us here in our usual climate of Dampness and minimal sunshine to get as much Vitamin D from the Sun when its out ,as we are always lacking in this very important Vitamin with many having to take  tablet form to get their Vitamin D — so enjoy and hopefully it will last for another good while .

Sincere Congrats are extended to Mary and Billy O’Connor of Gortnagross on becoming first time Grandparents recently their daughter Katie and husband Daniel O’Sullivan having been blessed with their new baby a little boy they are naming Liam  which is making his granddad Super Proud having been called  after him congrats all around.

This Saturday at 4 pm an outdoor Rosary will take place in our Church grounds  in conjunction with the All Ireland Rosary Rally. As many as possible are invited to come along and be part of this All Ireland event .

From this weekend onwards Mass will revert to 7.30 on Saturday evenings instead of Sunday  for the Summer months to give everyone a choice between Sundays and Saturday evenings . Sunday mornings will again commence with the change to Old Time or around that time so spread the word please.

This week sees the Conclave starting on Wednesday to appoint a new Pope . There will be 133 Cardinals from 70 different Countries  voting  so hopefully the Successor to the Late Pope Francis will be as humble and kind as he was with a very open mind — a real down to earth man of the People.

Don’t forget, if anyone is looking for Books to read especially over the Summer Holidays you can take them for free from the Bookstand in the kitchen at the Memorial Hall. There are a variety of books available for both Men and Women readers and if you want to give in a book you have read you can do that too . A handy way people find is to put their initials if they want on the inside of the book they have read as sometimes one forgets which have already been read

.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

Appreciate people who Correct You ,because without them

you might have been repeating mistakes for a long time.
