Minister Heather Humphreys Confirms 2021 SuperValu TidyTowns Competition Will Proceed:
Great News! The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has given a firm commitment that the SuperValu TidyTowns competition will proceed in 2021.
The SuperValu TidyTowns competition has been in existence since 1958 and has become an integral part of our culture over the intervening years. The competition continues to grow in popularity and in 2019 a record 924 entries were received.
Unfortunately, like many other events, the competition did not proceed in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking about the cancellation of the competition Minister Humphreys said:
“The decision to cancel the competition this year was taken in line with public health advice and in collaboration with the competition sponsor SuperValu. This decision was made in April during the first period of severe restrictions when essentially the advice to everybody was to stay at home.
“Many of our TidyTowns volunteers and adjudicators were very limited in what they could do earlier in the year. As we have moved through different stages of living alongside the pandemic, the TidyTowns volunteers have demonstrated that they can continue to do some of their activities while still following all of the necessary public health precautions.”
The Department of Rural and Community Development is in regular contact with the close to 1,000 TidyTowns groups around the country, through social media and through the monthly TidyTowns newsletter. It is clear that some wonderful projects and community-wide initiatives have been delivered in recent months. Many of the TidyTowns Groups have also been instrumental in assisting with the community response to COVID-19.
Looking ahead to next year, the Minister said:
“As we look forward to next year, I want to assure all of the TidyTowns groups and their volunteers, that there will be a SuperValu TidyTowns competition in 2021. We may need to alter and adapt our approach to delivering the competition next year, given the on-going constraints posed by COVID, but we can retain the ethos of the competition that has stood the test of time so well. “My Department is currently considering the format the competition could take next year, having regard to restrictions on gatherings at each of the five levels of the Government’s Plan for Living with Covid-19, and the paramount need to protect the health and wellbeing of volunteers and adjudicators. “The details of any changes in the competition will be shared with TidyTowns groups well in advance. I also want to assure them, that my Department, our sponsor SuperValu and the Government is absolutely committed to the SuperValu TidyTowns competition and we look forward to encouraging more and more towns and villages to join us in future years”.
Shop Safe - Shop Local:
Firstly I would like to thank everyone in adhering to the Level 5 restrictions during this time, I know these are difficult times and as I have stated before there are better days ahead.
The year 2020 has seen the importance of supporting local businesses, we at the office would like to help with a social media platform for these businesses seeking a marketing opportunity. This Campaign aims to promote Shop Local, Eat Local, Spend Local, Enjoy Local - Support the local businesses who support the area where you live, work & Play.
We are asking communities to get on board and send in details of any businesses in your area that would like a platform to advertise their products or services. Below is a list of some of the businesses we would like to hear from however we are open to any business struggling due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Christmas 2020 will be upon us shortly and we are keen for businesses to utilise this platform to advertise their products, hampers, vouchers etc.

16 October, 2020: An Post has announced ‘Community Focus’, an expanded range of post office and postal delivery supports for customers and communities to help everyone stay connected now and into the future.

“As the winter draws in we’re delighted to extend our range of services and ensure greater awareness of their availability through a new press & radio campaign. It’s so important that our communities are supported through these unprecedented times and that while we continue to remain apart, we all stay connected and don’t feel isolated. It’s never been easier to send a little note or card to those who need a little cheer at this time”, she added.
Physical distancing and safety protocols will be maintained at all times by An Post delivery staff and in Post Offices.

I also want to assure them, that my Department, our sponsor SuperValu and the Government is absolutely committed to the SuperValu TidyTowns competition and we look forward to encouraging more and more towns and villages to join us in future years”.

AN POST EXTENDS ITS ‘COMMUNITY FOCUS’ SUPPORTS INTO 2021:
- Free postage for cards and letters to and from Nursing and Care Homes
16 October, 2020: An Post has announced ‘Community Focus’, an expanded range of post office and postal delivery supports for customers and communities to help everyone stay connected now and into the future.
An Post Community Focus is a range of supports for customers, most particularly for older and vulnerable people who are living alone:
- Check-In: An Post delivery staff will continue to check in regularly with ‘seniors’ along their routes. Family members of older or vulnerable customers can register for the free check-in service by completing the postal address and eircode of the customer at anpost.com/CommunityFocus. These details will be relayed directly through An Post’s digital network to the customer’s local postperson who will call to the address at the earliest opportunity.
- Postage Pick-Up for Older/Vulnerable Customers: If older or vulnerable customers are unable to get out to buy stamps for cards or letters, their postman or postwoman will pick up their mail from their home and An Post will cover the postage for them.
- Postage to and from Nursing and Care Homes: New from An Post , recognising the increased restrictions in nursing homes across the country and to bring a little joy, An Post will ensure free delivery of all card and letter mail posted to and from residents of Nursing and Care homes in the State. By writing FREEPOST where the stamp normally goes, An Post will carry cards and letters without a postage stamp.
- Newspaper Delivery: An Post will provide same-day delivery of newspapers for older and vulnerable customers Monday to Friday. Customers can find out more at anpost.com/CommunityFocus or newsdelivery.ie
- Temporary Agent for Post Office Social Welfare Collection: Customers who are unable to collect social welfare payments (eg Pension) during the current crisis may nominate a person as their temporary collection agent. Forms and full details regarding ID requirements are available at all post offices and anpost.com/Communityfocus.
- Designated Times for Social Welfare Collection: In addition to clear signage and social distancing measures at all post offices, Post Offices have also designated 9am – 11am on Fridays as the designated period for seniors or vulnerable customers to collect social welfare payments and do other business at the Post Office.
Debbie Byrne, MD of An Post Retail said: “An Post is in every community in Ireland connecting people through the post and at our 950 post offices. A friendly smile on the doorstep or welcoming greeting in the post office makes all the difference to everyone’s day and most particularly, to older or more vulnerable citizens.
“As the winter draws in we’re delighted to extend our range of services and ensure greater awareness of their availability through a new press & radio campaign. It’s so important that our communities are supported through these unprecedented times and that while we continue to remain apart, we all stay connected and don’t feel isolated. It’s never been easier to send a little note or card to those who need a little cheer at this time”, she added.
Physical distancing and safety protocols will be maintained at all times by An Post delivery staff and in Post Offices.

Mary’s Meals Is Named After And Dedicated To Our Lady, The Mother Of Jesus.:
Mary's Meals believes that no child should endure a day without a meal. We set up school feeding programmes in some of the world’s poorest communities, where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education. Every school day, we feed 1,667,067 hungry children across 19 countries. It costs just €18.30 to feed a child with Mary’s Meals for a whole school year. We have a commitment to keeping our running costs low, with at least 93% of donations being spent on our charitable activities. Please pray for our work. And I ask you to help me in spreading the word about this beautiful charity that is rooted in faith. There is lots of information on www.marysmeals.ie We have leaflets (see attached) that can be shared online at present and given in physical copy when things return to normal. We have our Christmas fundraising Campaign launched this week. It is called The Big Family Christmas. Through it people can donate €18.30 and set a place at our virtual dinner table which gives a hungry child life-changing school meals for a year. People, who are setting places as gifts for friends and family, or in memory of loved ones, will get beautiful placemats featuring their names to email or print out and pass on. www.bigfamilychristmas.com Below is a link to a short video that shows the impact of our work https://youtu.be/F4kq8NWKmnM Thank you for taking the time to read this please feel free to contact me by email or on 086 - 3140814 or Fr Eammon Kelly on 087- 9077985

Minister Heather Humphreys Confirms 2021 SuperValu TidyTowns Competition Will Proceed:
Great News! The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has given a firm commitment that the SuperValu TidyTowns competition will proceed in 2021. The SuperValu TidyTowns competition has been in existence since 1958 and has become an integral part of our culture over the intervening years. The competition continues to grow in popularity and in 2019 a record 924 entries were received. Unfortunately, like many other events, the competition did not proceed in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking about the cancellation of the competition Minister Humphreys said: “The decision to cancel the competition this year was taken in line with public health advice and in collaboration with the competition sponsor SuperValu. This decision was made in April during the first period of severe restrictions when essentially the advice to everybody was to stay at home.
“Many of our TidyTowns volunteers and adjudicators were very limited in what they could do earlier in the year. As we have moved through different stages of living alongside the pandemic, the TidyTowns volunteers have demonstrated that they can continue to do some of their activities while still following all of the necessary public health precautions.”
The Department of Rural and Community Development is in regular contact with the close to 1,000 TidyTowns groups around the country, through social media and through the monthly TidyTowns newsletter. It is clear that some wonderful projects and community-wide initiatives have been delivered in recent months. Many of the TidyTowns Groups have also been instrumental in assisting with the community response to COVID-19. Looking ahead to next year, the Minister said: “As we look forward to next year, I want to assure all of the TidyTowns groups and their volunteers, that there will be a SuperValu TidyTowns competition in 2021. We may need to alter and adapt our approach to delivering the competition next year, given the on-going constraints posed by COVID, but we can retain the ethos of the competition that has stood the test of time so well. “My Department is currently considering the format the competition could take next year, having regard to restrictions on gatherings at each of the five levels of the Government’s Plan for Living with Covid-19, and the paramount need to protect the health and wellbeing of volunteers and adjudicators. “The details of any changes in the competition will be shared with TidyTowns groups well in advance. I also want to assure them, that my Department, our sponsor SuperValu and the Government is absolutely committed to the SuperValu TidyTowns competition and we look forward to encouraging more and more towns and villages to join us in future years”.

Mary's Meals believes that no child should endure a day without a meal. We set up school feeding programmes in some of the world’s poorest communities, where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education. Every school day, we feed 1,667,067 hungry children across 19 countries. It costs just €18.30 to feed a child with Mary’s Meals for a whole school year. We have a commitment to keeping our running costs low, with at least 93% of donations being spent on our charitable activities. Please pray for our work. And I ask you to help me in spreading the word about this beautiful charity that is rooted in faith. There is lots of information on www.marysmeals.ie We have leaflets (see attached) that can be shared online at present and given in physical copy when things return to normal. We have our Christmas fundraising Campaign launched this week. It is called The Big Family Christmas. Through it people can donate €18.30 and set a place at our virtual dinner table which gives a hungry child life-changing school meals for a year. People, who are setting places as gifts for friends and family, or in memory of loved ones, will get beautiful placemats featuring their names to email or print out and pass on. www.bigfamilychristmas.com Below is a link to a short video that shows the impact of our work https://youtu.be/F4kq8NWKmnM Thank you for taking the time to read this please feel free to contact me by email or on 086 - 3140814 or Fr Eammon Kelly on 087- 9077985

Minister Heather Humphreys Confirms 2021 SuperValu TidyTowns Competition Will Proceed:
Great News! The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has given a firm commitment that the SuperValu TidyTowns competition will proceed in 2021. The SuperValu TidyTowns competition has been in existence since 1958 and has become an integral part of our culture over the intervening years. The competition continues to grow in popularity and in 2019 a record 924 entries were received. Unfortunately, like many other events, the competition did not proceed in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking about the cancellation of the competition Minister Humphreys said: “The decision to cancel the competition this year was taken in line with public health advice and in collaboration with the competition sponsor SuperValu. This decision was made in April during the first period of severe restrictions when essentially the advice to everybody was to stay at home.
“Many of our TidyTowns volunteers and adjudicators were very limited in what they could do earlier in the year. As we have moved through different stages of living alongside the pandemic, the TidyTowns volunteers have demonstrated that they can continue to do some of their activities while still following all of the necessary public health precautions.”
The Department of Rural and Community Development is in regular contact with the close to 1,000 TidyTowns groups around the country, through social media and through the monthly TidyTowns newsletter. It is clear that some wonderful projects and community-wide initiatives have been delivered in recent months. Many of the TidyTowns Groups have also been instrumental in assisting with the community response to COVID-19. Looking ahead to next year, the Minister said: “As we look forward to next year, I want to assure all of the TidyTowns groups and their volunteers, that there will be a SuperValu TidyTowns competition in 2021. We may need to alter and adapt our approach to delivering the competition next year, given the on-going constraints posed by COVID, but we can retain the ethos of the competition that has stood the test of time so well. “My Department is currently considering the format the competition could take next year, having regard to restrictions on gatherings at each of the five levels of the Government’s Plan for Living with Covid-19, and the paramount need to protect the health and wellbeing of volunteers and adjudicators. “The details of any changes in the competition will be shared with TidyTowns groups well in advance. I also want to assure them, that my Department, our sponsor SuperValu and the Government is absolutely committed to the SuperValu TidyTowns competition and we look forward to encouraging more and more towns and villages to join us in future years”.

AN POST EXTENDS ITS ‘COMMUNITY FOCUS’ SUPPORTS INTO 2021:
- Free postage for cards and letters to and from Nursing and Care Homes
16 October, 2020: An Post has announced ‘Community Focus’, an expanded range of post office and postal delivery supports for customers and communities to help everyone stay connected now and into the future.
An Post Community Focus is a range of supports for customers, most particularly for older and vulnerable people who are living alone:
- Check-In: An Post delivery staff will continue to check in regularly with ‘seniors’ along their routes. Family members of older or vulnerable customers can register for the free check-in service by completing the postal address and eircode of the customer at anpost.com/CommunityFocus. These details will be relayed directly through An Post’s digital network to the customer’s local postperson who will call to the address at the earliest opportunity.
- Postage Pick-Up for Older/Vulnerable Customers: If older or vulnerable customers are unable to get out to buy stamps for cards or letters, their postman or postwoman will pick up their mail from their home and An Post will cover the postage for them.
- Postage to and from Nursing and Care Homes: New from An Post , recognising the increased restrictions in nursing homes across the country and to bring a little joy, An Post will ensure free delivery of all card and letter mail posted to and from residents of Nursing and Care homes in the State. By writing FREEPOST where the stamp normally goes, An Post will carry cards and letters without a postage stamp.
- Newspaper Delivery: An Post will provide same-day delivery of newspapers for older and vulnerable customers Monday to Friday. Customers can find out more at anpost.com/CommunityFocus or newsdelivery.ie
- Temporary Agent for Post Office Social Welfare Collection: Customers who are unable to collect social welfare payments (eg Pension) during the current crisis may nominate a person as their temporary collection agent. Forms and full details regarding ID requirements are available at all post offices and anpost.com/Communityfocus.
- Designated Times for Social Welfare Collection: In addition to clear signage and social distancing measures at all post offices, Post Offices have also designated 9am – 11am on Fridays as the designated period for seniors or vulnerable customers to collect social welfare payments and do other business at the Post Office.
Debbie Byrne, MD of An Post Retail said: “An Post is in every community in Ireland connecting people through the post and at our 950 post offices. A friendly smile on the doorstep or welcoming greeting in the post office makes all the difference to everyone’s day and most particularly, to older or more vulnerable citizens.
“As the winter draws in we’re delighted to extend our range of services and ensure greater awareness of their availability through a new press & radio campaign. It’s so important that our communities are supported through these unprecedented times and that while we continue to remain apart, we all stay connected and don’t feel isolated. It’s never been easier to send a little note or card to those who need a little cheer at this time”, she added.
Physical distancing and safety protocols will be maintained at all times by An Post delivery staff and in Post Offices.

Nora KELLY (nee Martin) R.I.P.
Knocklong Road, Ballylanders, Co. Limerick.

At her Funeral Mass which was streamed live on Facebook due to Covid-19 Lockdown, Fr. Tom Breen paid tribute to Nora and the Kelly Family. The family presented some of Nora’s talents to the alter. One item in particular was the crochet of a white garment a most beautiful design, other items presented were flower baskets made by Nora. The local GAA formed a guard of honour on the main street. They also thanked her for all the work she did for the GAA, whenever you pass her house, there you would see the clothes line draped with Ballylanders underage jerseys. To Bobby and Family the Parish would like to offer there sincere sympathies. After her Funeral Mass, Nora was taken to the local cemetery. May She Rest In Peace.

16 October, 2020: An Post has announced ‘Community Focus’, an expanded range of post office and postal delivery supports for customers and communities to help everyone stay connected now and into the future.
An Post Community Focus is a range of supports for customers, most particularly for older and vulnerable people who are living alone:
Debbie Byrne, MD of An Post Retail said: “An Post is in every community in Ireland connecting people through the post and at our 950 post offices. A friendly smile on the doorstep or welcoming greeting in the post office makes all the difference to everyone’s day and most particularly, to older or more vulnerable citizens.
“As the winter draws in we’re delighted to extend our range of services and ensure greater awareness of their availability through a new press & radio campaign. It’s so important that our communities are supported through these unprecedented times and that while we continue to remain apart, we all stay connected and don’t feel isolated. It’s never been easier to send a little note or card to those who need a little cheer at this time”, she added.
Physical distancing and safety protocols will be maintained at all times by An Post delivery staff and in Post Offices.
Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind - Paw Prints:
We hope you and yours are keeping well.
Firstly, a sincere thank you from everyone in Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind for your concerted support during what continues to be a very difficult year. It has encouraged us immensely.
We know how eager many of you are to be out and about raising awareness but, given the recent decision from government to move the country to Level 5 of the living with Covid-19 plan, we continue to ask you to hold off on any community activity until the beginning of December at the earliest. Your safety is our priority.
As we face into the last months of 2020, we are undoubtedly facing huge challenges with our annual Car Raffle and our Christmas campaigns. We're looking for your support to spread the word among family, friends, colleagues and community as we drive promotion online. Further details are below.
We opened our Assistance Dog waiting list in September and had over 200 applications. We would love to be in a position to progress for all applicants but due to scarce resources, dogs and training capacity we could only select 70. We fully understand the disappointment for many families who did not make the final list. Thanks to everyone who contributed to ensuring the process ran well and good speed to the Assistance Dog team in delivering to those people now on our waiting list.
Congratulations to our Guide Dog and Assistance Dog partnerships which qualified recently. We wish you the very best of luck in the future.
Once again, thank you for your continuing support. We are confident that if we all work together we will achieve the best results we can in exceptional circumstances.
Many thanks for all you do and please do continue to stay safe.
Please see Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind website for more information and how you can help out and donate.

Nora KELLY (nee Martin) R.I.P.
Knocklong Road, Ballylanders, Co. Limerick.

At her Funeral Mass which was streamed live on Facebook due to Covid-19 Lockdown, Fr. Tom Breen paid tribute to Nora and the Kelly Family. The family presented some of Nora’s talents to the alter. One item in particular was the crochet of a white garment a most beautiful design, other items presented were flower baskets made by Nora. The local GAA formed a guard of honour on the main street. They also thanked her for all the work she did for the GAA, whenever you pass her house, there you would see the clothes line draped with Ballylanders underage jerseys. To Bobby and Family the Parish would like to offer there sincere sympathies. After her Funeral Mass, Nora was taken to the local cemetery. May She Rest In Peace.

Minister Heather Humphreys Confirms 2021 SuperValu TidyTowns Competition Will Proceed:
Great News! The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has given a firm commitment that the SuperValu TidyTowns competition will proceed in 2021.
The SuperValu TidyTowns competition has been in existence since 1958 and has become an integral part of our culture over the intervening years. The competition continues to grow in popularity and in 2019 a record 924 entries were received.
Unfortunately, like many other events, the competition did not proceed in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking about the cancellation of the competition Minister Humphreys said:
“The decision to cancel the competition this year was taken in line with public health advice and in collaboration with the competition sponsor SuperValu. This decision was made in April during the first period of severe restrictions when essentially the advice to everybody was to stay at home.
“Many of our TidyTowns volunteers and adjudicators were very limited in what they could do earlier in the year. As we have moved through different stages of living alongside the pandemic, the TidyTowns volunteers have demonstrated that they can continue to do some of their activities while still following all of the necessary public health precautions.”
The Department of Rural and Community Development is in regular contact with the close to 1,000 TidyTowns groups around the country, through social media and through the monthly TidyTowns newsletter. It is clear that some wonderful projects and community-wide initiatives have been delivered in recent months. Many of the TidyTowns Groups have also been instrumental in assisting with the community response to COVID-19.
Looking ahead to next year, the Minister said:
“As we look forward to next year, I want to assure all of the TidyTowns groups and their volunteers, that there will be a SuperValu TidyTowns competition in 2021. We may need to alter and adapt our approach to delivering the competition next year, given the on-going constraints posed by COVID, but we can retain the ethos of the competition that has stood the test of time so well. “My Department is currently considering the format the competition could take next year, having regard to restrictions on gatherings at each of the five levels of the Government’s Plan for Living with Covid-19, and the paramount need to protect the health and wellbeing of volunteers and adjudicators. “The details of any changes in the competition will be shared with TidyTowns groups well in advance. I also want to assure them, that my Department, our sponsor SuperValu and the Government is absolutely committed to the SuperValu TidyTowns competition and we look forward to encouraging more and more towns and villages to join us in future years”.

This Campaign aims to promote Shop Local, Eat Local, Spend Local, Enjoy Local - Support the local businesses who support the area where you live, work & Play.
We are asking communities to get on board and send in details of any businesses in your area that would like a platform to advertise their products or services.

16 October, 2020: An Post has announced ‘Community Focus’, an expanded range of post office and postal delivery supports for customers and communities to help everyone stay connected now and into the future.

These details will be relayed directly through An Post’s digital network to the customer’s local postperson who will call to the address at the earliest opportunity.
- Postage Pick-Up for Older/Vulnerable Customers: If older or vulnerable customers are unable to get out to buy stamps for cards or letters, their postman or postwoman will pick up their mail from their home and An Post will cover the postage for them.
- Postage to and from Nursing and Care Homes: New from An Post , recognising the increased restrictions in nursing homes across the country and to bring a little joy, An Post will ensure free delivery of all card and letter mail posted to and from residents of Nursing and Care homes in the State.

- Newspaper Delivery: An Post will provide same-day delivery of newspapers for older and vulnerable customers Monday to Friday. Customers can find out more at anpost.com/CommunityFocus or newsdelivery.ie
- Temporary Agent for Post Office Social Welfare Collection: Customers who are unable to collect social welfare payments (eg Pension) during the current crisis may nominate a person as their temporary collection agent. Forms and full details regarding ID requirements are available at all post offices and anpost.com/Communityfocus.
- Designated Times for Social Welfare Collection: In addition to clear signage and social distancing measures at all post offices, Post Offices have also designated 9am – 11am on Fridays as the designated period for seniors or vulnerable customers to collect social welfare payments and do other business at the Post Office.
Debbie Byrne, MD of An Post Retail said: “An Post is in every community in Ireland connecting people through the post and at our 950 post offices. A friendly smile on the doorstep or welcoming greeting in the post office makes all the difference to everyone’s day and most particularly, to older or more vulnerable citizens.

Nora Kelly RIP
The club was shocked and saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Nora Kelly last Monday night October 26th. Nora was always a great club person and worked away quietly behind the scenes, in fact for the 20 years that Bobby was involved with the Bord Na Nóg, Nora washed the jerseys on top of raising a young family and running the family farm. To Bobby, their children William, Johnny and partner Bonny, Robert, James and Patrick, daughters Johanna and Mary Kate and all her extended family and friends we offer our deepest condolences.

AN POST EXTENDS ITS ‘COMMUNITY FOCUS’ SUPPORTS INTO 2021:
16 October, 2020: An Post has announced ‘Community Focus’, an expanded range of post office and postal delivery supports for customers and communities to help everyone stay connected now and into the future.
An Post Community Focus is a range of supports for customers, most particularly for older and vulnerable people who are living alone:
Debbie Byrne, MD of An Post Retail said: “An Post is in every community in Ireland connecting people through the post and at our 950 post offices. A friendly smile on the doorstep or welcoming greeting in the post office makes all the difference to everyone’s day and most particularly, to older or more vulnerable citizens.
“As the winter draws in we’re delighted to extend our range of services and ensure greater awareness of their availability through a new press & radio campaign. It’s so important that our communities are supported through these unprecedented times and that while we continue to remain apart, we all stay connected and don’t feel isolated. It’s never been easier to send a little note or card to those who need a little cheer at this time”, she added.
Physical distancing and safety protocols will be maintained at all times by An Post delivery staff and in Post Offices.
Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind - Paw Prints:
We hope you and yours are keeping well.
Firstly, a sincere thank you from everyone in Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind for your concerted support during what continues to be a very difficult year. It has encouraged us immensely.
We know how eager many of you are to be out and about raising awareness but, given the recent decision from government to move the country to Level 5 of the living with Covid-19 plan, we continue to ask you to hold off on any community activity until the beginning of December at the earliest. Your safety is our priority.
As we face into the last months of 2020, we are undoubtedly facing huge challenges with our annual Car Raffle and our Christmas campaigns. We're looking for your support to spread the word among family, friends, colleagues and community as we drive promotion online. Further details are below.
We opened our Assistance Dog waiting list in September and had over 200 applications. We would love to be in a position to progress for all applicants but due to scarce resources, dogs and training capacity we could only select 70. We fully understand the disappointment for many families who did not make the final list. Thanks to everyone who contributed to ensuring the process ran well and good speed to the Assistance Dog team in delivering to those people now on our waiting list.
Congratulations to our Guide Dog and Assistance Dog partnerships which qualified recently. We wish you the very best of luck in the future.
Once again, thank you for your continuing support. We are confident that if we all work together we will achieve the best results we can in exceptional circumstances.
Many thanks for all you do and please do continue to stay safe.
Please see Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind website for more information and how you can help out and donate.

AN POST EXTENDS ITS ‘COMMUNITY FOCUS’ SUPPORTS INTO 2021:
- Free postage for cards and letters to and from Nursing and Care Homes
16 October, 2020: An Post has announced ‘Community Focus’, an expanded range of post office and postal delivery supports for customers and communities to help everyone stay connected now and into the future.
An Post Community Focus is a range of supports for customers, most particularly for older and vulnerable people who are living alone:
- Check-In: An Post delivery staff will continue to check in regularly with ‘seniors’ along their routes. Family members of older or vulnerable customers can register for the free check-in service by completing the postal address and eircode of the customer at anpost.com/CommunityFocus. These details will be relayed directly through An Post’s digital network to the customer’s local postperson who will call to the address at the earliest opportunity.
- Postage Pick-Up for Older/Vulnerable Customers: If older or vulnerable customers are unable to get out to buy stamps for cards or letters, their postman or postwoman will pick up their mail from their home and An Post will cover the postage for them.
- Postage to and from Nursing and Care Homes: New from An Post , recognising the increased restrictions in nursing homes across the country and to bring a little joy, An Post will ensure free delivery of all card and letter mail posted to and from residents of Nursing and Care homes in the State. By writing FREEPOST where the stamp normally goes, An Post will carry cards and letters without a postage stamp.
- Newspaper Delivery: An Post will provide same-day delivery of newspapers for older and vulnerable customers Monday to Friday. Customers can find out more at anpost.com/CommunityFocus or newsdelivery.ie
- Temporary Agent for Post Office Social Welfare Collection: Customers who are unable to collect social welfare payments (eg Pension) during the current crisis may nominate a person as their temporary collection agent. Forms and full details regarding ID requirements are available at all post offices and anpost.com/Communityfocus.
- Designated Times for Social Welfare Collection: In addition to clear signage and social distancing measures at all post offices, Post Offices have also designated 9am – 11am on Fridays as the designated period for seniors or vulnerable customers to collect social welfare payments and do other business at the Post Office.
Debbie Byrne, MD of An Post Retail said: “An Post is in every community in Ireland connecting people through the post and at our 950 post offices. A friendly smile on the doorstep or welcoming greeting in the post office makes all the difference to everyone’s day and most particularly, to older or more vulnerable citizens.
“As the winter draws in we’re delighted to extend our range of services and ensure greater awareness of their availability through a new press & radio campaign. It’s so important that our communities are supported through these unprecedented times and that while we continue to remain apart, we all stay connected and don’t feel isolated. It’s never been easier to send a little note or card to those who need a little cheer at this time”, she added.
Physical distancing and safety protocols will be maintained at all times by An Post delivery staff and in Post Offices.
Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind - Paw Prints:
We hope you and yours are keeping well.
Firstly, a sincere thank you from everyone in Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind for your concerted support during what continues to be a very difficult year. It has encouraged us immensely.
We know how eager many of you are to be out and about raising awareness but, given the recent decision from government to move the country to Level 5 of the living with Covid-19 plan, we continue to ask you to hold off on any community activity until the beginning of December at the earliest. Your safety is our priority.
As we face into the last months of 2020, we are undoubtedly facing huge challenges with our annual Car Raffle and our Christmas campaigns. We're looking for your support to spread the word among family, friends, colleagues and community as we drive promotion online. Further details are below.
We opened our Assistance Dog waiting list in September and had over 200 applications. We would love to be in a position to progress for all applicants but due to scarce resources, dogs and training capacity we could only select 70. We fully understand the disappointment for many families who did not make the final list. Thanks to everyone who contributed to ensuring the process ran well and good speed to the Assistance Dog team in delivering to those people now on our waiting list.
Congratulations to our Guide Dog and Assistance Dog partnerships which qualified recently. We wish you the very best of luck in the future.
Once again, thank you for your continuing support. We are confident that if we all work together we will achieve the best results we can in exceptional circumstances.
Many thanks for all you do and please do continue to stay safe.
Please see Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind website for more information and how you can help out and donate.

‘Care at the End of Life’ – Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference:
Background
Following its Autumn General Meeting this week, the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference have released the following statement entitled Care at the End of Life:
Statement
Human dignity is inherent in every person from the first moment of his or her existence. Even under the most challenging circumstances, we never lose that inherent dignity, which brings a unique quality and meaning to everything we do and are.
Hospice
In the challenging context of terminal illness, the dignity of the person is affirmed in Hospice Care. From simple beginnings at Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross, Dublin, in 1879, and with huge public support, the provision of hospice care has spread to every corner of Ireland. It is based on the principle that “Life is affirmed and dying is regarded as a normal process. Death is neither hastened nor postponed. Pain and other distressing symptoms are relieved.” These principles have inspired people of every religious tradition in providing a unique kind of care at the end of life, which is not just about pain management, but about presence and communication and, most of all, about remaining close to people for whom further medical treatment is futile.
A Community of Compassion and Care
Care at the end of life has a lot to do with relationships. The support of family members, friends and trusted healthcare professionals, including chaplains who offer pastoral and sacramental care, can make an enormous difference. Together they form a community of compassion and care. For a Christian, death is not a hopeless adventure; it is the door of life that opens to eternity.
Palliative Care
Telling the truth with love is an important aspect of our respect for human dignity. Palliative care, as well as upholding absolute respect for human life, acknowledges and accepts the reality of approaching death. It is about helping people to live as fully as possible in the time that is left to them, until death comes naturally. Our own pastoral experience has shown us that, in the final days and weeks of terminal illness, the life experience of those who are dying can be greatly enhanced with the assistance of integrated palliative care. Frequently, relationships are healed, unresolved personal issues are worked through and people often enter into a deeper relationship with God. We note that many palliative care experts have expressed similar views.
The Relief of Pain
The use of pain relief, in order to maintain and enhance the quality of life is an important aspect of palliative care. Palliative care should not be confused with euthanasia or assisted suicide, which involves the specific intention to end a human life. This is always gravely sinful.
Assisted Suicide
Assisted suicide is often presented as something that would be rare and exceptional. Once assisted suicide is accepted in principle, it becomes very difficult to draw a line. Many countries, which began by legalising assisted suicide on a very limited basis, have moved on to widen significantly the scope of that legislation.
At the Service of Life
We want to say very clearly that there is no such thing as a life without value. We hope to be a voice for those who, in a time of vulnerability, feel that they have no voice. We ask people to consider the manner in which assisted suicide and euthanasia undermines the whole ethos of healthcare. Doctors and nurses are called to be advocates for life and should never be required to assist in any way in the deliberate ending of life. We invite you to join us in prayer for those who, at this time, are coming to terms with a diagnosis of terminal illness, that they may have the blessing of a community of compassion and care.
Hogan Ryan Lynch Sinn Fein Cumann General Liam Lynch Commemoration 2020:
Unfortunately the Hogan Ryan Lynch cumann Sinn Féin and the Sinn Féin Liam Lynch commemoration committee, will not be holding our annual General Liam Lynch commemoration in Angelsboro, this November 2020, due to covid restrictions. We would like to thank everyone who attends the commemoration every year. The Liam Lynch pipe band who attend the commemoration every year with us. The Angelsboro community for the use of the hall. The 2 Sinn Féin Committees will be putting our national flag up reading the proclamation and laying wreaths on behalf of the Sinn Féin Hogan Ryan Lynch cumann and the Sinn Féin Liam Lynch commemoration committee, on November 8. All going well we will be all back together next year 2021 in November to keep this great man’s name, a life in history for what he fought and died for his country of Ireland, our General Liam Lynch. Chairperson of the Hogan Ryan Lynch cumann Eddie O Sullivan. Sinn Féin Liam Lynch commemoration committee chairperson Eddie O Sullivan.
Defibrillator Upgrade:
Work is underway towards replacing the Defibrillator and the storage box in the village. The new Defibrillator will be charged off the mains electricity. The storage box will have a keypad locking mechanism and the Eircode will be inscribed on the front. When a caller rings 999 they will be asked for the Eircode, given the combination to open the box and they will receive assistance over the phone as to what to do until the ambulance arrives. The cost is €2,650.00 approximately including vat. Defibrillator Pads for the machine cost €94.00 to replace after every use or every 2 years. If you have any fundraising ideas or would like to help with this initiative please do not hesitate to contact the committee on 087 - 6647670. Thank you.
A Go Fund Me Page Has Been Set Up For The Defibrillator Replacement:
A Go Fund me page had been set up for the Defibrillator replacement. Hello I thought you might be interested in supporting this GoFundMe, https://gf.me/u/yvxpjs. Even a small donation it could help Juliette McSweeney reach their fundraising goal. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word. Thanks for having a look!

‘Care at the End of Life’ – Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference:
Background
Following its Autumn General Meeting this week, the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference have released the following statement entitled Care at the End of Life:
Statement
Human dignity is inherent in every person from the first moment of his or her existence. Even under the most challenging circumstances, we never lose that inherent dignity, which brings a unique quality and meaning to everything we do and are.
Hospice
In the challenging context of terminal illness, the dignity of the person is affirmed in Hospice Care. From simple beginnings at Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross, Dublin, in 1879, and with huge public support, the provision of hospice care has spread to every corner of Ireland. It is based on the principle that “Life is affirmed and dying is regarded as a normal process. Death is neither hastened nor postponed. Pain and other distressing symptoms are relieved.” These principles have inspired people of every religious tradition in providing a unique kind of care at the end of life, which is not just about pain management, but about presence and communication and, most of all, about remaining close to people for whom further medical treatment is futile.
A Community of Compassion and Care
Care at the end of life has a lot to do with relationships. The support of family members, friends and trusted healthcare professionals, including chaplains who offer pastoral and sacramental care, can make an enormous difference. Together they form a community of compassion and care. For a Christian, death is not a hopeless adventure; it is the door of life that opens to eternity.
Palliative Care
Telling the truth with love is an important aspect of our respect for human dignity. Palliative care, as well as upholding absolute respect for human life, acknowledges and accepts the reality of approaching death. It is about helping people to live as fully as possible in the time that is left to them, until death comes naturally. Our own pastoral experience has shown us that, in the final days and weeks of terminal illness, the life experience of those who are dying can be greatly enhanced with the assistance of integrated palliative care. Frequently, relationships are healed, unresolved personal issues are worked through and people often enter into a deeper relationship with God. We note that many palliative care experts have expressed similar views.
The Relief of Pain
The use of pain relief, in order to maintain and enhance the quality of life is an important aspect of palliative care. Palliative care should not be confused with euthanasia or assisted suicide, which involves the specific intention to end a human life. This is always gravely sinful.
Assisted Suicide
Assisted suicide is often presented as something that would be rare and exceptional. Once assisted suicide is accepted in principle, it becomes very difficult to draw a line. Many countries, which began by legalising assisted suicide on a very limited basis, have moved on to widen significantly the scope of that legislation.
At the Service of Life
We want to say very clearly that there is no such thing as a life without value. We hope to be a voice for those who, in a time of vulnerability, feel that they have no voice. We ask people to consider the manner in which assisted suicide and euthanasia undermines the whole ethos of healthcare. Doctors and nurses are called to be advocates for life and should never be required to assist in any way in the deliberate ending of life. We invite you to join us in prayer for those who, at this time, are coming to terms with a diagnosis of terminal illness, that they may have the blessing of a community of compassion and care.
Hogan Ryan Lynch Sinn Fein Cumann General Liam Lynch Commemoration 2020:
Unfortunately the Hogan Ryan Lynch cumann Sinn Féin and the Sinn Féin Liam Lynch commemoration committee, will not be holding our annual General Liam Lynch commemoration in Angelsboro, this November 2020, due to covid restrictions. We would like to thank everyone who attends the commemoration every year. The Liam Lynch pipe band who attend the commemoration every year with us. The Angelsboro community for the use of the hall. The 2 Sinn Féin Committees will be putting our national flag up reading the proclamation and laying wreaths on behalf of the Sinn Féin Hogan Ryan Lynch cumann and the Sinn Féin Liam Lynch commemoration committee, on November 8. All going well we will be all back together next year 2021 in November to keep this great man’s name, a life in history for what he fought and died for his country of Ireland, our General Liam Lynch. Chairperson of the Hogan Ryan Lynch cumann Eddie O Sullivan. Sinn Féin Liam Lynch commemoration committee chairperson Eddie O Sullivan.
Defibrillator Upgrade:
Work is underway towards replacing the Defibrillator and the storage box in the village. The new Defibrillator will be charged off the mains electricity. The storage box will have a keypad locking mechanism and the Eircode will be inscribed on the front. When a caller rings 999 they will be asked for the Eircode, given the combination to open the box and they will receive assistance over the phone as to what to do until the ambulance arrives. The cost is €2,650.00 approximately including vat. Defibrillator Pads for the machine cost €94.00 to replace after every use or every 2 years. If you have any fundraising ideas or would like to help with this initiative please do not hesitate to contact the committee on 087 - 6647670. Thank you.
A Go Fund Me Page Has Been Set Up For The Defibrillator Replacement:
A Go Fund me page had been set up for the Defibrillator replacement. Hello I thought you might be interested in supporting this GoFundMe, https://gf.me/u/yvxpjs. Even a small donation it could help Juliette McSweeney reach their fundraising goal. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.

AN POST EXTENDS ITS ‘COMMUNITY FOCUS’ SUPPORTS INTO 2021:
- Free postage for cards and letters to and from Nursing and Care Homes
16 October, 2020: An Post has announced ‘Community Focus’, an expanded range of post office and postal delivery supports for customers and communities to help everyone stay connected now and into the future.
An Post Community Focus is a range of supports for customers, most particularly for older and vulnerable people who are living alone:
- Check-In: An Post delivery staff will continue to check in regularly with ‘seniors’ along their routes. Family members of older or vulnerable customers can register for the free check-in service by completing the postal address and eircode of the customer at anpost.com/CommunityFocus. These details will be relayed directly through An Post’s digital network to the customer’s local postperson who will call to the address at the earliest opportunity.
- Postage Pick-Up for Older/Vulnerable Customers: If older or vulnerable customers are unable to get out to buy stamps for cards or letters, their postman or postwoman will pick up their mail from their home and An Post will cover the postage for them.
- Postage to and from Nursing and Care Homes: New from An Post , recognising the increased restrictions in nursing homes across the country and to bring a little joy, An Post will ensure free delivery of all card and letter mail posted to and from residents of Nursing and Care homes in the State. By writing FREEPOST where the stamp normally goes, An Post will carry cards and letters without a postage stamp.
- Newspaper Delivery: An Post will provide same-day delivery of newspapers for older and vulnerable customers Monday to Friday. Customers can find out more at anpost.com/CommunityFocus or newsdelivery.ie
- Temporary Agent for Post Office Social Welfare Collection: Customers who are unable to collect social welfare payments (eg Pension) during the current crisis may nominate a person as their temporary collection agent. Forms and full details regarding ID requirements are available at all post offices and anpost.com/Communityfocus.
- Designated Times for Social Welfare Collection: In addition to clear signage and social distancing measures at all post offices, Post Offices have also designated 9am – 11am on Fridays as the designated period for seniors or vulnerable customers to collect social welfare payments and do other business at the Post Office.
Debbie Byrne, MD of An Post Retail said: “An Post is in every community in Ireland connecting people through the post and at our 950 post offices. A friendly smile on the doorstep or welcoming greeting in the post office makes all the difference to everyone’s day and most particularly, to older or more vulnerable citizens.
“As the winter draws in we’re delighted to extend our range of services and ensure greater awareness of their availability through a new press & radio campaign. It’s so important that our communities are supported through these unprecedented times and that while we continue to remain apart, we all stay connected and don’t feel isolated. It’s never been easier to send a little note or card to those who need a little cheer at this time”, she added.
Physical distancing and safety protocols will be maintained at all times by An Post delivery staff and in Post Offices.
Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind - Paw Prints:
We hope you and yours are keeping well.
Firstly, a sincere thank you from everyone in Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind for your concerted support during what continues to be a very difficult year. It has encouraged us immensely.
We know how eager many of you are to be out and about raising awareness but, given the recent decision from government to move the country to Level 5 of the living with Covid-19 plan, we continue to ask you to hold off on any community activity until the beginning of December at the earliest. Your safety is our priority.
As we face into the last months of 2020, we are undoubtedly facing huge challenges with our annual Car Raffle and our Christmas campaigns. We're looking for your support to spread the word among family, friends, colleagues and community as we drive promotion online. Further details are below.
We opened our Assistance Dog waiting list in September and had over 200 applications. We would love to be in a position to progress for all applicants but due to scarce resources, dogs and training capacity we could only select 70. We fully understand the disappointment for many families who did not make the final list. Thanks to everyone who contributed to ensuring the process ran well and good speed to the Assistance Dog team in delivering to those people now on our waiting list.
Congratulations to our Guide Dog and Assistance Dog partnerships which qualified recently. We wish you the very best of luck in the future.
Once again, thank you for your continuing support. We are confident that if we all work together we will achieve the best results we can in exceptional circumstances.
Many thanks for all you do and please do continue to stay safe. Please see Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind website for more information and how you can help out and donate.

Assisted suicide is often presented as something that would be rare and exceptional. Once assisted suicide is accepted in principle, it becomes very difficult to draw a line. Many countries, which began by legalising assisted suicide on a very limited basis, have moved on to widen significantly the scope of that legislation.
At the Service of Life
We want to say very clearly that there is no such thing as a life without value. We hope to be a voice for those who, in a time of vulnerability, feel that they have no voice. We ask people to consider the manner in which assisted suicide and euthanasia undermines the whole ethos of healthcare. Doctors and nurses are called to be advocates for life and should never be required to assist in any way in the deliberate ending of life. We invite you to join us in prayer for those who, at this time, are coming to terms with a diagnosis of terminal illness, that they may have the blessing of a community of compassion and care.

‘Care at the End of Life’ – Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference:
Background
Following its Autumn General Meeting this week, the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference have released the following statement entitled Care at the End of Life:
Statement
Human dignity is inherent in every person from the first moment of his or her existence. Even under the most challenging circumstances, we never lose that inherent dignity, which brings a unique quality and meaning to everything we do and are.
Hospice
In the challenging context of terminal illness, the dignity of the person is affirmed in Hospice Care. From simple beginnings at Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross, Dublin, in 1879, and with huge public support, the provision of hospice care has spread to every corner of Ireland. It is based on the principle that “Life is affirmed and dying is regarded as a normal process. Death is neither hastened nor postponed. Pain and other distressing symptoms are relieved.” These principles have inspired people of every religious tradition in providing a unique kind of care at the end of life, which is not just about pain management, but about presence and communication and, most of all, about remaining close to people for whom further medical treatment is futile.
A Community of Compassion and Care
Care at the end of life has a lot to do with relationships. The support of family members, friends and trusted healthcare professionals, including chaplains who offer pastoral and sacramental care, can make an enormous difference. Together they form a community of compassion and care. For a Christian, death is not a hopeless adventure; it is the door of life that opens to eternity.
Palliative Care
Telling the truth with love is an important aspect of our respect for human dignity. Palliative care, as well as upholding absolute respect for human life, acknowledges and accepts the reality of approaching death. It is about helping people to live as fully as possible in the time that is left to them, until death comes naturally. Our own pastoral experience has shown us that, in the final days and weeks of terminal illness, the life experience of those who are dying can be greatly enhanced with the assistance of integrated palliative care. Frequently, relationships are healed, unresolved personal issues are worked through and people often enter into a deeper relationship with God. We note that many palliative care experts have expressed similar views.
The Relief of Pain
The use of pain relief, in order to maintain and enhance the quality of life is an important aspect of palliative care. Palliative care should not be confused with euthanasia or assisted suicide, which involves the specific intention to end a human life. This is always gravely sinful.
Assisted Suicide
Assisted suicide is often presented as something that would be rare and exceptional. Once assisted suicide is accepted in principle, it becomes very difficult to draw a line.

The use of pain relief, in order to maintain and enhance the quality of life is an important aspect of palliative care. Palliative care should not be confused with euthanasia or assisted suicide, which involves the specific intention to end a human life. This is always gravely sinful.
Assisted Suicide
Assisted suicide is often presented as something that would be rare and exceptional. Once assisted suicide is accepted in principle, it becomes very difficult to draw a line. Many countries, which began by legalising assisted suicide on a very limited basis, have moved on to widen significantly the scope of that legislation.
At the Service of Life
We want to say very clearly that there is no such thing as a life without value. We hope to be a voice for those who, in a time of vulnerability, feel that they have no voice. We ask people to consider the manner in which assisted suicide and euthanasia undermines the whole ethos of healthcare. Doctors and nurses are called to be advocates for life and should never be required to assist in any way in the deliberate ending of life. We invite you to join us in prayer for those who, at this time, are coming to terms with a diagnosis of terminal illness, that they may have the blessing of a community of compassion and care.
Defibrillator Upgrade:
Work is underway towards replacing the Defibrillator and the storage box in the village. The new Defibrillator will be charged off the mains electricity. The storage box will have a keypad locking mechanism and the Eircode will be inscribed on the front. When a caller rings 999 they will be asked for the Eircode, given the combination to open the box and they will receive assistance over the phone as to what to do until the ambulance arrives. The cost is €2,650.00 approximately including vat. Defibrillator Pads for the machine cost €94.00 to replace after every use or every 2 years. If you have any fundraising ideas or would like to help with this initiative please do not hesitate to contact the committee on 087 - 6647670. Thank you.
A Go Fund Me Page Has Been Set Up For The Defibrillator Replacement:
A Go Fund me page had been set up for the Defibrillator replacement. Hello I thought you might be interested in supporting this GoFundMe, https://gf.me/u/yvxpjs.

‘Care at the End of Life’ – Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference:
Background
Following its Autumn General Meeting this week, the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference have released the following statement entitled Care at the End of Life:
Statement
Human dignity is inherent in every person from the first moment of his or her existence. Even under the most challenging circumstances, we never lose that inherent dignity, which brings a unique quality and meaning to everything we do and are.
Hospice
In the challenging context of terminal illness, the dignity of the person is affirmed in Hospice Care. From simple beginnings at Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross, Dublin, in 1879, and with huge public support, the provision of hospice care has spread to every corner of Ireland. It is based on the principle that “Life is affirmed and dying is regarded as a normal process. Death is neither hastened nor postponed. Pain and other distressing symptoms are relieved.” These principles have inspired people of every religious tradition in providing a unique kind of care at the end of life, which is not just about pain management, but about presence and communication and, most of all, about remaining close to people for whom further medical treatment is futile.
A Community of Compassion and Care
Care at the end of life has a lot to do with relationships. The support of family members, friends and trusted healthcare professionals, including chaplains who offer pastoral and sacramental care, can make an enormous difference. Together they form a community of compassion and care. For a Christian, death is not a hopeless adventure; it is the door of life that opens to eternity.
Palliative Care
Telling the truth with love is an important aspect of our respect for human dignity. Palliative care, as well as upholding absolute respect for human life, acknowledges and accepts the reality of approaching death. It is about helping people to live as fully as possible in the time that is left to them, until death comes naturally. Our own pastoral experience has shown us that, in the final days and weeks of terminal illness, the life experience of those who are dying can be greatly enhanced with the assistance of integrated palliative care. Frequently, relationships are healed, unresolved personal issues are worked through and people often enter into a deeper relationship with God. We note that many palliative care experts have expressed similar views.
The Relief of Pain
The use of pain relief, in order to maintain and enhance the quality of life is an important aspect of palliative care. Palliative care should not be confused with euthanasia or assisted suicide, which involves the specific intention to end a human life. This is always gravely sinful.
Assisted Suicide

Ballylanders GAA Club Notes:
Thomas Davern R.I.P.
The death has occurred of Thomas Davern R.I.P., formally of Ballingarry, Ballylanders / Midleton, Co. Cork. Former Chairman of Ballylanders GAA club, between 1971- 1974, in which he won the first South Senior Football title. Condolences to all the family on behalf of the club. May he rest in peace.
County Senior Football Final Ballylanders v Adare.
Unfortunately Sunday's county final did not go our way and we were well beating by a strong Adare side. A single Jimmy Barry Murphy point was all we had to offer after the opening 30 minutes and that was with the strong wind.

Limerick Development Plan 2022 – 2028 – What Is Your Vision For Limerick:
What is your vision for Limerick? That is the central question being asked by Limerick City and County Council as the starting line on Limerick’s first ever combined Development Plan is crossed. The Limerick Development Plan is the first combined plan for Limerick city and county since the merger of the two local authorities in 2014 and is one of the most important functions of the council. The plan will be the blueprint for the physical and socio-economic development of Limerick over a six year period, up to 2028 and beyond, and will set out the overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city and county as a whole. Members of the public, children, businesses, community groups and other interested stakeholders are being invited to give their views on the future of Limerick. What is the vision for Limerick? How can we bring people and economic activity back into our city? How can we create compact sustainable communities? How can we reinforce our towns and villages? Where should new housing be located? How can we protect our heritage? Where should new retail be located? Should we increase agricultural sites? What about the climate and sustainable development, provision of public and sustainable transport and the ability to build one-off housing? These are some of the questions that will be addressed throughout the development plan process. The publication of the Issues Paper today is the first step in a 99-week process in the making of the Limerick Development Plan. By law the Council must have its Development Plan agreed and published within this timeframe. This consultation document presents an overview of the main planning and development issues in Limerick. The Limerick Development Plan presents an opportunity to the general public to shape Limerick for the future and ‘have your say’ when it comes to important issues such as housing, economic development, community and heritage, and seeks to encourage public debate on what broad issues should be considered in the new plan. Your input into this process by considering the ‘bigger picture’ issues facing Limerick, is central to its success. Cllr Michael Collins, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick said: “The Limerick Development Plan process encourages public engagement and we want to start the conversation on the issues that affect you.” “This new Limerick Development Plan will provide the blueprint for the development of Limerick, physically, economically and socially in a sustainable manner." Dr Pat Daly, Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council said: “This project is one of the most important and strategic functions of the Local Authority.” “The publication of the Issues Paper is the first step in the plan making process and it sets out some of the key issues for Limerick.” “We want to engage with the people of Limerick, so please have your say on the way you want Limerick to develop over the next decade and help shape the future of our Limerick.” The Issues Paper is divided into eight themes and is guided by the UN Sustainable Goals, the National Planning Framework Project Ireland 2040 and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the Southern Region. The themes are: People & Places, Economic Development & Employment, Connectivity, Infrastructure, Landscape Heritage & Green Infrastructure, Social Community & Cultural Developments, Climate Change & Flood Risk, Environmental Assessments. To get involved in the Limerick Development Plan, click here. As part of the consultation process, Limerick City and County Council has created a virtual room where people can enter to get more information on the Limerick Development Plan, and submit their opinions and comments. A series of public meetings (strictly by appointment and adhering to Covid-19 guidelines) and a webinar are scheduled to discuss the Limerick Development Plan. A ‘Virtual Room’ has been created to give members of the public more information on the plan. For all this information log onto limerick.ie/limerick-development-plan. The Issues Paper is available in Limerick City and County Council’s offices in Merchant’s Quay, and Dooradoyle, the Municipal Offices in Kilmallock, Newcastle West and Rathkeale, as well as the five libraries currently open to the public: Adare; Dooradoyle; Kilmallock; Newcastle West and Watch House Cross. The public consultation period is open until 12th October 2020 at 5pm. You can make a submission through the Council’s consultation portal MyPoint | email: devplan@limerick.ie By Post: Forward/ Strategic Planning, Corporate Headquarters, Limerick City and County Council, Merchant’s Quay, Limerick V94 EH90.

‘Care at the End of Life’ – Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference:
Background
Following its Autumn General Meeting this week, the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference have released the following statement entitled Care at the End of Life:
Statement
Human dignity is inherent in every person from the first moment of his or her existence. Even under the most challenging circumstances, we never lose that inherent dignity, which brings a unique quality and meaning to everything we do and are.
Hospice
In the challenging context of terminal illness, the dignity of the person is affirmed in Hospice Care. From simple beginnings at Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross, Dublin, in 1879, and with huge public support, the provision of hospice care has spread to every corner of Ireland. It is based on the principle that “Life is affirmed and dying is regarded as a normal process. Death is neither hastened nor postponed. Pain and other distressing symptoms are relieved.” These principles have inspired people of every religious tradition in providing a unique kind of care at the end of life, which is not just about pain management, but about presence and communication and, most of all, about remaining close to people for whom further medical treatment is futile.
A Community of Compassion and Care
Care at the end of life has a lot to do with relationships. The support of family members, friends and trusted healthcare professionals, including chaplains who offer pastoral and sacramental care, can make an enormous difference. Together they form a community of compassion and care. For a Christian, death is not a hopeless adventure; it is the door of life that opens to eternity.
Palliative Care
Telling the truth with love is an important aspect of our respect for human dignity. Palliative care, as well as upholding absolute respect for human life, acknowledges and accepts the reality of approaching death. It is about helping people to live as fully as possible in the time that is left to them, until death comes naturally. Our own pastoral experience has shown us that, in the final days and weeks of terminal illness, the life experience of those who are dying can be greatly enhanced with the assistance of integrated palliative care. Frequently, relationships are healed, unresolved personal issues are worked through and people often enter into a deeper relationship with God. We note that many palliative care experts have expressed similar views.
The Relief of Pain
The use of pain relief, in order to maintain and enhance the quality of life is an important aspect of palliative care. Palliative care should not be confused with euthanasia or assisted suicide, which involves the specific intention to end a human life. This is always gravely sinful.
Assisted Suicide
Assisted suicide is often presented as something that would be rare and exceptional. Once assisted suicide is accepted in principle, it becomes very difficult to draw a line. Many countries, which began by legalising assisted suicide on a very limited basis, have moved on to widen significantly the scope of that legislation.
At the Service of Life
We want to say very clearly that there is no such thing as a life without value. We hope to be a voice for those who, in a time of vulnerability, feel that they have no voice. We ask people to consider the manner in which assisted suicide and euthanasia undermines the whole ethos of healthcare. Doctors and nurses are called to be advocates for life and should never be required to assist in any way in the deliberate ending of life. We invite you to join us in prayer for those who, at this time, are coming to terms with a diagnosis of terminal illness, that they may have the blessing of a community of compassion and care.
Ballylanders GAA Club Notes:

County Senior Football Final Ballylanders v Adare.
Unfortunately Sunday's county final did not go our way and we were well beating by a strong Adare side. A single Jimmy Barry Murphy point was all we had to offer after the opening 30 minutes and that was with the strong wind. It did not get any easier in the second half as Adare kept coming and two points from Jimmy Barry and one from Danny Frewen was all we were able to manage. It was a tough day for all concerned but this group of lads have brought us some great days in what has been a testing year for all. Team and scorers, Declan O'Connor, Pa Holian, Steve Walsh, Donal Kelly, Steve Fox, Shaun Moloney, Killian Meade, Eoin O'Mahony, Mark O'Connell, Brian O'Connell, Ciaran Kelly, David McCarthy, Jimmy Barry Murphy (0-3,1free), Eoin Walsh, Danny Frewen (0-1).

Day for Life - Sunday 4th October 2020:
‘Hope in Him, hold firm and take heart.’ Psalm 27
There were 6,666 abortions in the Republic of Ireland in 2019 and over 200,000 in Great Britain, including significant numbers from the island of Ireland. We, the Catholic Church, have a message of hope and a story of love; together, we can promote a culture of life. We grieve the loss of life due to abortion. We seek a change of minds and hearts about the innate dignity of the child in the womb and the care of pregnant women. Pope Francis writes, ‘The gift of a new child, entrusted by the Lord to a father and a mother, begins with acceptance, continues with lifelong protection and has as its final goal the joy of eternal life … For God allows parents to choose the name by which He himself will call their child for all eternity.’ (Amoris Laetita - The Joy of Love, 166) How can Catholic parishes and communities be places of welcome, assistance and support? On this 25th anniversary of St John Paul II’s letter Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), we renew the call for respect and celebration of all life. The parish is a ‘family of families,’ (Amoris Laetita, 87). We ask our parishes to be places of welcome, where we can support pregnant women and celebrate the precious gift entrusted to them. We recognise that family is often ‘a challenging mosaic made up of many different realities, with all their joys, hopes and problems.’ (Amoris Laetitia, 57). We want to provide support for women and men who face difficult circumstances, as well as those who have experienced abortion and seek comfort in the Lord and their community. Our pledge ‘As a Catholic, I promise to foster a culture of welcome and acceptance of new life. I will pray and work for better legal protections for pregnant women and the child in the womb.’ Hope and Healing after Abortion God does not withhold his forgiveness from those who seek it with a sincere heart. But, even when we confess our sins and receive absolution, we are not always ready to forgive ourselves. There are many women and men still living, years later, with the emotional and spiritual scars of abortion. Our mission to promote a culture of life must include helping these women and men to be reconciled with themselves, with their lost child, and with the God who has never stopped loving them. In the Lord we can find peace: ‘Hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.’ (Romans 5:5) ‘My name is Caitlin* and I am 28 years old. When I became pregnant for the first time five years ago, I had an abortion. I have carried the pain from this experience, as well as feelings of loss, confusion and loneliness. When attending a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat, I was given the time and space to name the child that I lost and to find healing and forgiveness in the Lord.’ *The name has been change to protect the identity of the mother. To learn more about Rachel’s Vineyard go to www.rachelsvineyard.ie/ If you are concerned about an unborn child with a life-limiting condition, go to: www.everylifecounts.ie OR www.onedaymore.ie Access the Day for Life Resources on: www.councilforlife.ie About Day For Life Day for Life is celebrated yearly by the Catholic Church in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.

Ballylanders GAA Club Notes:
1. County Senior Football Final 2020 -
The Irish Wire Products Ltd County Senior Football Championship Final, Sunday 4th October 2020 Adare V Ballylanders at 2pm. Venue LIT Gaelic Grounds Limerick. Referee TBC.
2. Senior Football -
Our senior footballers will contest the 2020 county final on Sunday October 4th in a repeat of the 2018 final where they will face Adare after a convincing victory over Ballysteen last Sunday in Newcastle West. As in the previous game vs Monaleen a second half goal by Danny Frewen was the crucial score in what was a tight affair up to that point. Scores in the opening quarter were at a premium as Ballysteen dropped players back making it hard to get ball into our forwards and at the first water break a single Ciaran Kelly point was all we had to show to Ballysteen's three points. The next quarter was the Jimmy Barry Murphy show as he kicked four points to leave the scores at the break 0-5 to 0-4 in our favour.
Our forwards were finding more space in the second half and Eoin Walsh was winning an amount of ball and was laying it off to oncoming players such as Brian O'Connell and Danny Frewen who put us two points ahead. Steve Fox and Killian Meade were busy up and down the flanks while Shaun Moloney kept the centre back area under control. Ciaran Kelly added his second of the day to leave the scores at the second water break 0-8 to 0-6. Jimmy Barry kicked a free before Danny found the back of the net in the 20th minute after some great work from Eoin O'Mahony in midfield to break up a Ballysteen attack. The last quarter was very stop start as Steve Fox & Tom O'Dywer had to be replaced because of injury resulting in nine minutes of injury time been added on. Jimmy Barry kicked his sixth point of the game heading into injury time and this was followed up by Osin Brown and a monster of a free kick from Kieran O'Callaghan sealed the victory on a scoreline of 1-12 to 0-9. Credit goes to everyone involved with the panel for this victory, Declan O'Connor in goal made some vital saves near the end when Ballysteen were trying very hard to get the goal they needed while the full back line of Pa Holian, Steve Walsh and Donal Kelly were rock solid. Mark O'Connell and Eoin O'Mahony did trojan work in midfield while our half backs and forwards worked selflessly up and down the field. Danny, Eoin and Jimmy caused the Ballysteen defender's problems all match. Now the attention turns to Sunday as all roads lead to the Gaelic Grounds where hopefully Jimmy Barry Murphy will be collecting the Fr Casey Cup at full time. Team & scorers; Declan O'Connor, Pa Holian, Steve Walsh, Donal Kelly, Steve Fox, Shaun Moloney, Killian Meade, Eoin O'Mahony, Mark O'Connell, Brian O'Connell (0-1), Ciaran Kelly (0-2), David McCarthy, Jimmy Barry Murphy (0-6,3 frees), Eoin Walsh, Danny Frewen (1-1). Subs used, Tom O'Dywer, Kieran O'Callaghan
(0-1, free), Osin Brown (0-1), Jason Leigh.

Limerick Development Plan 2022 – 2028 – What Is Your Vision For Limerick:
What is your vision for Limerick? That is the central question being asked by Limerick City and County Council as the starting line on Limerick’s first ever combined Development Plan is crossed. The Limerick Development Plan is the first combined plan for Limerick city and county since the merger of the two local authorities in 2014 and is one of the most important functions of the council. The plan will be the blueprint for the physical and socio-economic development of Limerick over a six year period, up to 2028 and beyond, and will set out the overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city and county as a whole. Members of the public, children, businesses, community groups and other interested stakeholders are being invited to give their views on the future of Limerick. What is the vision for Limerick? How can we bring people and economic activity back into our city? How can we create compact sustainable communities? How can we reinforce our towns and villages? Where should new housing be located? How can we protect our heritage? Where should new retail be located? Should we increase agricultural sites? What about the climate and sustainable development, provision of public and sustainable transport and the ability to build one-off housing? These are some of the questions that will be addressed throughout the development plan process. The publication of the Issues Paper today is the first step in a 99-week process in the making of the Limerick Development Plan. By law the Council must have its Development Plan agreed and published within this timeframe. This consultation document presents an overview of the main planning and development issues in Limerick. The Limerick Development Plan presents an opportunity to the general public to shape Limerick for the future and ‘have your say’ when it comes to important issues such as housing, economic development, community and heritage, and seeks to encourage public debate on what broad issues should be considered in the new plan. Your input into this process by considering the ‘bigger picture’ issues facing Limerick, is central to its success. Cllr Michael Collins, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick said: “The Limerick Development Plan process encourages public engagement and we want to start the conversation on the issues that affect you.” “This new Limerick Development Plan will provide the blueprint for the development of Limerick, physically, economically and socially in a sustainable manner." Dr Pat Daly, Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council said: “This project is one of the most important and strategic functions of the Local Authority.” “The publication of the Issues Paper is the first step in the plan making process and it sets out some of the key issues for Limerick.” “We want to engage with the people of Limerick, so please have your say on the way you want Limerick to develop over the next decade and help shape the future of our Limerick.” The Issues Paper is divided into eight themes and is guided by the UN Sustainable Goals, the National Planning Framework Project Ireland 2040 and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the Southern Region. The themes are: People & Places, Economic Development & Employment, Connectivity, Infrastructure, Landscape Heritage & Green Infrastructure, Social Community & Cultural Developments, Climate Change & Flood Risk, Environmental Assessments. To get involved in the Limerick Development Plan, click here. As part of the consultation process, Limerick City and County Council has created a virtual room where people can enter to get more information on the Limerick Development Plan, and submit their opinions and comments. A series of public meetings (strictly by appointment and adhering to Covid-19 guidelines) and a webinar are scheduled to discuss the Limerick Development Plan. A ‘Virtual Room’ has been created to give members of the public more information on the plan. For all this information log onto limerick.ie/limerick-development-plan. The Issues Paper is available in Limerick City and County Council’s offices in Merchant’s Quay, and Dooradoyle, the Municipal Offices in Kilmallock, Newcastle West and Rathkeale, as well as the five libraries currently open to the public: Adare; Dooradoyle; Kilmallock; Newcastle West and Watch House Cross. The public consultation period is open until 12th October 2020 at 5pm. You can make a submission through the Council’s consultation portal MyPoint | email: devplan@limerick.ie By Post: Forward/ Strategic Planning, Corporate Headquarters, Limerick City and County Council, Merchant’s Quay, Limerick V94 EH90.

Mark O'Connell and Eoin O'Mahony did trojan work in midfield while our half backs and forwards worked selflessly up and down the field. Danny, Eoin and Jimmy caused the Ballysteen defender's problems all match. Now the attention turns to Sunday as all roads lead to the Gaelic Grounds where hopefully Jimmy Barry Murphy will be collecting the Fr Casey Cup at full time. Team & scorers; Declan O'Connor, Pa Holian, Steve Walsh, Donal Kelly, Steve Fox, Shaun Moloney, Killian Meade, Eoin O'Mahony, Mark O'Connell, Brian O'Connell (0-1), Ciaran Kelly (0-2), David McCarthy, Jimmy Barry Murphy (0-6,3 frees), Eoin Walsh, Danny Frewen (1-1). Subs used, Tom O'Dywer, Kieran O'Callaghan
(0-1, free), Osin Brown (0-1), Jason Leigh.

Limerick Development Plan 2022 – 2028 – What Is Your Vision For Limerick:
What is your vision for Limerick? That is the central question being asked by Limerick City and County Council as the starting line on Limerick’s first ever combined Development Plan is crossed. The Limerick Development Plan is the first combined plan for Limerick city and county since the merger of the two local authorities in 2014 and is one of the most important functions of the council. The plan will be the blueprint for the physical and socio-economic development of Limerick over a six year period, up to 2028 and beyond, and will set out the overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city and county as a whole. Members of the public, children, businesses, community groups and other interested stakeholders are being invited to give their views on the future of Limerick. What is the vision for Limerick? How can we bring people and economic activity back into our city? How can we create compact sustainable communities? How can we reinforce our towns and villages? Where should new housing be located? How can we protect our heritage? Where should new retail be located? Should we increase agricultural sites? What about the climate and sustainable development, provision of public and sustainable transport and the ability to build one-off housing? These are some of the questions that will be addressed throughout the development plan process. The publication of the Issues Paper today is the first step in a 99-week process in the making of the Limerick Development Plan. By law the Council must have its Development Plan agreed and published within this timeframe. This consultation document presents an overview of the main planning and development issues in Limerick. The Limerick Development Plan presents an opportunity to the general public to shape Limerick for the future and ‘have your say’ when it comes to important issues such as housing, economic development, community and heritage, and seeks to encourage public debate on what broad issues should be considered in the new plan. Your input into this process by considering the ‘bigger picture’ issues facing Limerick, is central to its success. Cllr Michael Collins, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick said: “The Limerick Development Plan process encourages public engagement and we want to start the conversation on the issues that affect you.” “This new Limerick Development Plan will provide the blueprint for the development of Limerick, physically, economically and socially in a sustainable manner." Dr Pat Daly, Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council said: “This project is one of the most important and strategic functions of the Local Authority.” “The publication of the Issues Paper is the first step in the plan making process and it sets out some of the key issues for Limerick.” “We want to engage with the people of Limerick, so please have your say on the way you want Limerick to develop over the next decade and help shape the future of our Limerick.” The Issues Paper is divided into eight themes and is guided by the UN Sustainable Goals, the National Planning Framework Project Ireland 2040 and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the Southern Region. The themes are: People & Places, Economic Development & Employment, Connectivity, Infrastructure, Landscape Heritage & Green Infrastructure, Social Community & Cultural Developments, Climate Change & Flood Risk, Environmental Assessments. To get involved in the Limerick Development Plan, click here. As part of the consultation process, Limerick City and County Council has created a virtual room where people can enter to get more information on the Limerick Development Plan, and submit their opinions and comments. A series of public meetings (strictly by appointment and adhering to Covid-19 guidelines) and a webinar are scheduled to discuss the Limerick Development Plan. A ‘Virtual Room’ has been created to give members of the public more information on the plan. For all this information log onto limerick.ie/limerick-development-plan. The Issues Paper is available in Limerick City and County Council’s offices in Merchant’s Quay, and Dooradoyle, the Municipal Offices in Kilmallock, Newcastle West and Rathkeale, as well as the five libraries currently open to the public: Adare; Dooradoyle; Kilmallock; Newcastle West and Watch House Cross. The public consultation period is open until 12th October 2020 at 5pm. You can make a submission through the Council’s consultation portal MyPoint | email: devplan@limerick.ie By Post: Forward/ Strategic Planning, Corporate Headquarters, Limerick City and County Council, Merchant’s Quay, Limerick V94 EH90.

Day for Life - Sunday 4th October 2020:
‘Hope in Him, hold firm and take heart.’ Psalm 27
There were 6,666 abortions in the Republic of Ireland in 2019 and over 200,000 in Great Britain, including significant numbers from the island of Ireland. We, the Catholic Church, have a message of hope and a story of love; together, we can promote a culture of life. We grieve the loss of life due to abortion. We seek a change of minds and hearts about the innate dignity of the child in the womb and the care of pregnant women. Pope Francis writes, ‘The gift of a new child, entrusted by the Lord to a father and a mother, begins with acceptance, continues with lifelong protection and has as its final goal the joy of eternal life … For God allows parents to choose the name by which He himself will call their child for all eternity.’ (Amoris Laetita - The Joy of Love, 166) How can Catholic parishes and communities be places of welcome, assistance and support? On this 25th anniversary of St John Paul II’s letter Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), we renew the call for respect and celebration of all life. The parish is a ‘family of families,’ (Amoris Laetita, 87). We ask our parishes to be places of welcome, where we can support pregnant women and celebrate the precious gift entrusted to them. We recognise that family is often ‘a challenging mosaic made up of many different realities, with all their joys, hopes and problems.’ (Amoris Laetitia, 57). We want to provide support for women and men who face difficult circumstances, as well as those who have experienced abortion and seek comfort in the Lord and their community. Our pledge ‘As a Catholic, I promise to foster a culture of welcome and acceptance of new life. I will pray and work for better legal protections for pregnant women and the child in the womb.’ Hope and Healing after Abortion God does not withhold his forgiveness from those who seek it with a sincere heart. But, even when we confess our sins and receive absolution, we are not always ready to forgive ourselves. There are many women and men still living, years later, with the emotional and spiritual scars of abortion. Our mission to promote a culture of life must include helping these women and men to be reconciled with themselves, with their lost child, and with the God who has never stopped loving them. In the Lord we can find peace: ‘Hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.’ (Romans 5:5) ‘My name is Caitlin* and I am 28 years old. When I became pregnant for the first time five years ago, I had an abortion. I have carried the pain from this experience, as well as feelings of loss, confusion and loneliness. When attending a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat, I was given the time and space to name the child that I lost and to find healing and forgiveness in the Lord.’ *The name has been change to protect the identity of the mother. To learn more about Rachel’s Vineyard go to www.rachelsvineyard.ie/ If you are concerned about an unborn child with a life-limiting condition, go to: www.everylifecounts.ie OR www.onedaymore.ie Access the Day for Life Resources on: www.councilforlife.ie About Day For Life Day for Life is celebrated yearly by the Catholic Church in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the meaning and value of human life at every stage and in every condition.

Ballylanders GAA:
Senior Football Championship Quarter Final. Ballylanders 1-8 Monaleen 0-9.
A second half Jimmy Barry Murphy goal was the crucial score in Saturday's quarter final victory over Monaleen in Bruff. In a very close contest there was never much between the sides. Ciaran Kelly kicked both of our opening points but we trailed at the water break by four points to two. Monaleen stretched the margin after the break before Eoin O'Mahony kicked a great score to keep us in touch. The last few minutes of the half saw three quick fire scores with Jimmy Barry and a free from Danny Frewen cancel out an effort from Monaleen to leave the score at the break 0-6 to 0-5 in favour of the City side. On the restart Eoin O'Mahony kicked a long distance free to level up the game but on the sixth minute Monaleen had gone ahead again. Tom O'Dywer and Shane O'Donoghue were introduced into the game but Monaleen were keeping us pinned back in our own half and only for some strong defences work from our backs who were putting pressure on their shot tackers resulting in missed opportunities to extend the lead. Then some great work by Eoin Walsh and Mark O'Connell set up Jimmy Barry Murphy who rifled his shot to the roof of the net just before the second water break to leave us two points ahead. The sides traded scores for the remainder of the game with our efforts coming from the booth of Danny Frewen and Brian O'Connell was to kick the insurance one to give us victory on a scoreline of 1-08 to 0-09 to the delight of the spectators who were lucky enough to be there. Well done to all the management and players who now await the draw which will take place after Wednesday night's two remaining quarter finals to see who we will face in the semi final. Keep an eye on our social media accounts for more information about that fixture. Team and scorers, Declan O'Connor, Pa Holian, Steve Walsh, Donal Kelly, Steve Fox, Shaun Moloney, Killian Meade, Eoin O'Mahony (0-2,1 free), Mark O'Connell, Brian O'Connell (0-1), Ciaran Kelly (0-2,1 free), David McCarthy, Jimmy Barry Murphy (1-1,1 free), Eoin Walsh, Danny Frewen (0-2,1 free).

We, the Catholic Church, have a message of hope and a story of love; together, we can promote a culture of life. We grieve the loss of life due to abortion.

Pope Francis writes, ‘The gift of a new child, entrusted by the Lord to a father and a mother, begins with acceptance, continues with lifelong protection and has as its final goal the joy of eternal life … For God allows parents to choose the name by which He himself will call their child for all eternity.’ (Amoris Laetita - The Joy of Love, 166) How can Catholic parishes and communities be places of welcome, assistance and support? On this 25th anniversary of St John Paul II’s letter Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), we renew the call for respect and celebration of all life. The parish is a ‘family of families,’ (Amoris Laetita, 87). We ask our parishes to be places of welcome, where we can support pregnant women and celebrate the precious gift entrusted to them. We recognise that family is often ‘a challenging mosaic made up of many different realities, with all their joys, hopes and problems.’ (Amoris Laetitia, 57). We want to provide support for women and men who face difficult circumstances, as well as those who have experienced abortion and seek comfort in the Lord and their community. Our pledge ‘As a Catholic, I promise to foster a culture of welcome and acceptance of new life. I will pray and work for better legal protections for pregnant women and the child in the womb.’ Hope and Healing after Abortion God does not withhold his forgiveness from those who seek it with a sincere heart. But, even when we confess our sins and receive absolution, we are not always ready to forgive ourselves. There are many women and men still living, years later, with the emotional and spiritual scars of abortion. Our mission to promote a culture of life must include helping these women and men to be reconciled with themselves, with their lost child, and with the God who has never stopped loving them. In the Lord we can find peace: ‘Hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.’ (Romans 5:5) ‘My name is Caitlin* and I am 28 years old. When I became pregnant for the first time five years ago, I had an abortion. I have carried the pain from this experience, as well as feelings of loss, confusion and loneliness. When attending a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat, I was given the time and space to name the child that I lost and to find healing and forgiveness in the Lord.’ *The name has been change to protect the identity of the mother. To learn more about Rachel’s Vineyard go to www.rachelsvineyard.ie/ If you are concerned about an unborn child with a life-limiting condition, go to: www.everylifecounts.ie OR www.onedaymore.ie Access the Day for Life Resources on: www.councilforlife.ie About Day For Life Day for Life is celebrated yearly by the Catholic Church in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.

Ballylanders GAA:
Senior Football Championship Quarter Final. Ballylanders 1-8 Monaleen 0-9.
A second half Jimmy Barry Murphy goal was the crucial score in Saturday's quarter final victory over Monaleen in Bruff. In a very close contest there was never much between the sides. Ciaran Kelly kicked both of our opening points but we trailed at the water break by four points to two. Monaleen stretched the margin after the break before Eoin O'Mahony kicked a great score to keep us in touch. The last few minutes of the half saw three quick fire scores with Jimmy Barry and a free from Danny Frewen cancel out an effort from Monaleen to leave the score at the break 0-6 to 0-5 in favour of the City side. On the restart Eoin O'Mahony kicked a long distance free to level up the game but on the sixth minute Monaleen had gone ahead again. Tom O'Dywer and Shane O'Donoghue were introduced into the game but Monaleen were keeping us pinned back in our own half and only for some strong defences work from our backs who were putting pressure on their shot tackers resulting in missed opportunities to extend the lead. Then some great work by Eoin Walsh and Mark O'Connell set up Jimmy Barry Murphy who rifled his shot to the roof of the net just before the second water break to leave us two points ahead. The sides traded scores for the remainder of the game with our efforts coming from the booth of Danny Frewen and Brian O'Connell was to kick the insurance one to give us victory on a scoreline of 1-08 to 0-09 to the delight of the spectators who were lucky enough to be there. Well done to all the management and players who now await the draw which will take place after Wednesday night's two remaining quarter finals to see who we will face in the semi final. Keep an eye on our social media accounts for more information about that fixture. Team and scorers, Declan O'Connor, Pa Holian, Steve Walsh, Donal Kelly, Steve Fox, Shaun Moloney, Killian Meade, Eoin O'Mahony (0-2,1 free), Mark O'Connell, Brian O'Connell (0-1), Ciaran Kelly (0-2,1 free), David McCarthy, Jimmy Barry Murphy (1-1,1 free), Eoin Walsh, Danny Frewen (0-2,1 free). Subs used, Tom O'Dywer, Shane O'Donoghue, Osin Brown, Keairn O'Callaghan.
Limerick Development Plan 2022 – 2028 – What Is Your Vision For Limerick:
What is your vision for Limerick? That is the central question being asked by Limerick City and County Council as the starting line on Limerick’s first ever combined Development Plan is crossed. The Limerick Development Plan is the first combined plan for Limerick city and county since the merger of the two local authorities in 2014 and is one of the most important functions of the council. The plan will be the blueprint for the physical and socio-economic development of Limerick over a six year period, up to 2028 and beyond, and will set out the overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city and county as a whole. Members of the public, children, businesses, community groups and other interested stakeholders are being invited to give their views on the future of Limerick. What is the vision for Limerick? How can we bring people and economic activity back into our city? How can we create compact sustainable communities? How can we reinforce our towns and villages? Where should new housing be located? How can we protect our heritage? Where should new retail be located? Should we increase agricultural sites? What about the climate and sustainable development, provision of public and sustainable transport and the ability to build one-off housing? These are some of the questions that will be addressed throughout the development plan process. The publication of the Issues Paper today is the first step in a 99-week process in the making of the Limerick Development Plan. By law the Council must have its Development Plan agreed and published within this timeframe. This consultation document presents an overview of the main planning and development issues in Limerick. The Limerick Development Plan presents an opportunity to the general public to shape Limerick for the future and ‘have your say’ when it comes to important issues such as housing, economic development, community and heritage, and seeks to encourage public debate on what broad issues should be considered in the new plan. Your input into this process by considering the ‘bigger picture’ issues facing Limerick, is central to its success. Cllr Michael Collins, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick said: “The Limerick Development Plan process encourages public engagement and we want to start the conversation on the issues that affect you.” “This new Limerick Development Plan will provide the blueprint for the development of Limerick, physically, economically and socially in a sustainable manner." Dr Pat Daly, Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council said: “This project is one of the most important and strategic functions of the Local Authority.” “The publication of the Issues Paper is the first step in the plan making process and it sets out some of the key issues for Limerick.” “We want to engage with the people of Limerick, so please have your say on the way you want Limerick to develop over the next decade and help shape the future of our Limerick.” The Issues Paper is divided into eight themes and is guided by the UN Sustainable Goals, the National Planning Framework Project Ireland 2040 and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the Southern Region. The themes are: People & Places, Economic Development & Employment, Connectivity, Infrastructure, Landscape Heritage & Green Infrastructure, Social Community & Cultural Developments, Climate Change & Flood Risk, Environmental Assessments. To get involved in the Limerick Development Plan, click here. As part of the consultation process, Limerick City and County Council has created a virtual room where people can enter to get more information on the Limerick Development Plan, and submit their opinions and comments. A series of public meetings (strictly by appointment and adhering to Covid-19 guidelines) and a webinar are scheduled to discuss the Limerick Development Plan. A ‘Virtual Room’ has been created to give members of the public more information on the plan. For all this information log onto limerick.ie/limerick-development-plan. The Issues Paper is available in Limerick City and County Council’s offices in Merchant’s Quay, and Dooradoyle, the Municipal Offices in Kilmallock, Newcastle West and Rathkeale, as well as the five libraries currently open to the public: Adare; Dooradoyle; Kilmallock; Newcastle West and Watch House Cross. The public consultation period is open until 12th October 2020 at 5pm. You can make a submission through the Council’s consultation portal MyPoint | email: devplan@limerick.ie By Post: Forward/ Strategic Planning, Corporate Headquarters, Limerick City and County Council, Merchant’s Quay, Limerick V94 EH90.

Culture Night 2020:
Culture Night 2020 will take place this year on Friday 18th September, so now is the time to start planning events and activities for the Limerick region! The Tourism, Culture & Arts Office of Limerick City and County Council is inviting event organisers to take part in this year’s event by registering events through a public call. Culture Night is always great fun and offers the perfect opportunity for us, as a region, to showcase the wealth of culture that Limerick has to offer. It is a night to celebrate the cultural, artistic and creative communities of our city and county by inviting existing and new audiences to experience our galleries, museums, workshops and studios. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, it is necessary this year that some changes are made to the 2020 programme. Event organisers are encouraged to programme digital events along with some small pre-booked live events. In planning digital or online events, groups are asked to consider this an opportunity to reach much larger audiences than would be able to attend a live event at present and also to reach new audiences who may not normally be able to attend. All live events that wish to register must implement pre-booking and ticketing to manage audience numbers in line with national Covid-19 regulations and guidelines, abiding by event size regulations and implementing strict safety measures. Never has it been more important for an event like Culture Night to take place as it presents the opportunity for our creative community to work in partnership to nurture the cultural life of our region and support our audiences as they adjust to a new social and cultural environment within their communities. To register your event go to Limerick.ie, click here. Clubs, organisations and groups in Limerick wishing to organise a Culture Night event this year, will be supported with advice, promotion and merchandising by Limerick Tourism, Culture & Arts Office. If you have any queries or would like to know more about getting involved in Culture Night 2020 you can email artsoffice@limerick.ie or call 061 556370.

The Tourism, Culture & Arts Office of Limerick City and County Council is inviting event organisers to take part in this year’s event by registering events through a public call. Culture Night is always great fun and offers the perfect opportunity for us, as a region, to showcase the wealth of culture that Limerick has to offer. It is a night to celebrate the cultural, artistic and creative communities of our city and county by inviting existing and new audiences to experience our galleries, museums, workshops and studios. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, it is necessary this year that some changes are made to the 2020 programme. Event organisers are encouraged to programme digital events along with some small pre-booked live events. In planning digital or online events, groups are asked to consider this an opportunity to reach much larger audiences than would be able to attend a live event at present and also to reach new audiences who may not normally be able to attend. All live events that wish to register must implement pre-booking and ticketing to manage audience numbers in line with national Covid-19 regulations and guidelines, abiding by event size regulations and implementing strict safety measures. Never has it been more important for an event like Culture Night to take place as it presents the opportunity for our creative community to work in partnership to nurture the cultural life of our region and support our audiences as they adjust to a new social and cultural environment within their communities. To register your event go to Limerick.ie, click here.

Limerick Development Plan 2022 – 2028 – What Is Your Vision For Limerick:
What is your vision for Limerick? That is the central question being asked by Limerick City and County Council as the starting line on Limerick’s first ever combined Development Plan is crossed. The Limerick Development Plan is the first combined plan for Limerick city and county since the merger of the two local authorities in 2014 and is one of the most important functions of the council. The plan will be the blueprint for the physical and socio-economic development of Limerick over a six year period, up to 2028 and beyond, and will set out the overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city and county as a whole. Members of the public, children, businesses, community groups and other interested stakeholders are being invited to give their views on the future of Limerick. What is the vision for Limerick? How can we bring people and economic activity back into our city? How can we create compact sustainable communities? How can we reinforce our towns and villages? Where should new housing be located? How can we protect our heritage? Where should new retail be located? Should we increase agricultural sites? What about the climate and sustainable development, provision of public and sustainable transport and the ability to build one-off housing? These are some of the questions that will be addressed throughout the development plan process. The publication of the Issues Paper today is the first step in a 99-week process in the making of the Limerick Development Plan. By law the Council must have its Development Plan agreed and published within this timeframe. This consultation document presents an overview of the main planning and development issues in Limerick. The Limerick Development Plan presents an opportunity to the general public to shape Limerick for the future and ‘have your say’ when it comes to important issues such as housing, economic development, community and heritage, and seeks to encourage public debate on what broad issues should be considered in the new plan. Your input into this process by considering the ‘bigger picture’ issues facing Limerick, is central to its success. Cllr Michael Collins, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick said: “The Limerick Development Plan process encourages public engagement and we want to start the conversation on the issues that affect you.” “This new Limerick Development Plan will provide the blueprint for the development of Limerick, physically, economically and socially in a sustainable manner." Dr Pat Daly, Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council said: “This project is one of the most important and strategic functions of the Local Authority.” “The publication of the Issues Paper is the first step in the plan making process and it sets out some of the key issues for Limerick.” “We want to engage with the people of Limerick, so please have your say on the way you want Limerick to develop over the next decade and help shape the future of our Limerick.” The Issues Paper is divided into eight themes and is guided by the UN Sustainable Goals, the National Planning Framework Project Ireland 2040 and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the Southern Region. The themes are: People & Places, Economic Development & Employment, Connectivity, Infrastructure, Landscape Heritage & Green Infrastructure, Social Community & Cultural Developments, Climate Change & Flood Risk, Environmental Assessments. To get involved in the Limerick Development Plan, click here. As part of the consultation process, Limerick City and County Council has created a virtual room where people can enter to get more information on the Limerick Development Plan, and submit their opinions and comments. A series of public meetings (strictly by appointment and adhering to Covid-19 guidelines) and a webinar are scheduled to discuss the Limerick Development Plan. A ‘Virtual Room’ has been created to give members of the public more information on the plan. For all this information log onto limerick.ie/limerick-development-plan. The Issues Paper is available in Limerick City and County Council’s offices in Merchant’s Quay, and Dooradoyle, the Municipal Offices in Kilmallock, Newcastle West and Rathkeale, as well as the five libraries currently open to the public: Adare; Dooradoyle; Kilmallock; Newcastle West and Watch House Cross. The public consultation period is open until 12th October 2020 at 5pm. You can make a submission through the Council’s consultation portal MyPoint | email: devplan@limerick.ie By Post: Forward/ Strategic Planning, Corporate Headquarters, Limerick City and County Council, Merchant’s Quay, Limerick V94 EH90.

We are all in this together,
Let us love our fellow man.
God is with us every moment,
Minding us with loving care,
Now we know how much we need Him,

But don’t overstay your welcome,
That, alas would never do!
The End!.

For all those chosen to take up their cross in union with Christ as a priest, deacon or in the consecrated life that others might have eternal life, we pray to the Lord.
(Romans 14: 7)
“The life and death of each of us has its influence on others; if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord, so that alive or dead we belong to the Lord”.
If the Lord invites you to follow Him in humble obedience as a priest or in the consecrated life, how will you respond? If the Spirit is prompting you to know Christ as a priest, or in the consecrated life, speak to your local priest, or call your Diocesan Vocation’s Director, or email the National Vocations Office on info@vocations.ie
Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time — September 6, 2020
For a deeper participation among families in prayer for vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life among their children, knowing that Christ is in their midst, we pray to the Lord.
(Matthew 18: 20)
“Where two or three are gathered in my name ……”
The community who gathers in Christ needs leadership. Might He be inviting you to consider a vocation to the consecrated life or priesthood? If so, speak to your local priest, or call your Diocesan Vocation’s Director, or email the National Vocations Office on info@vocations.ie

Doing everything we can,
We are all in this together,
Let us love our fellow man.
God is with us every moment,
Minding us with loving care,
Now we know how much we need Him,
Let us talk to Him in prayer.
So Corona, thanks for coming,
Truth to tell you, we needed you,
But don’t overstay your welcome,
That, alas would never do!
The End!.

The Tourism, Culture & Arts Office of Limerick City and County Council is inviting event organisers to take part in this year’s event by registering events through a public call. Culture Night is always great fun and offers the perfect opportunity for us, as a region, to showcase the wealth of culture that Limerick has to offer. It is a night to celebrate the cultural, artistic and creative communities of our city and county by inviting existing and new audiences to experience our galleries, museums, workshops and studios. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, it is necessary this year that some changes are made to the 2020 programme. Event organisers are encouraged to programme digital events along with some small pre-booked live events. In planning digital or online events, groups are asked to consider this an opportunity to reach much larger audiences than would be able to attend a live event at present and also to reach new audiences who may not normally be able to attend. All live events that wish to register must implement pre-booking and ticketing to manage audience numbers in line with national Covid-19 regulations and guidelines, abiding by event size regulations and implementing strict safety measures. Never has it been more important for an event like Culture Night to take place as it presents the opportunity for our creative community to work in partnership to nurture the cultural life of our region and support our audiences as they adjust to a new social and cultural environment within their communities. To register your event go to Limerick.ie, click here.

Limerick Development Plan 2022 – 2028 – What Is Your Vision For Limerick:
What is your vision for Limerick? That is the central question being asked by Limerick City and County Council as the starting line on Limerick’s first ever combined Development Plan is crossed. The Limerick Development Plan is the first combined plan for Limerick city and county since the merger of the two local authorities in 2014 and is one of the most important functions of the council. The plan will be the blueprint for the physical and socio-economic development of Limerick over a six year period, up to 2028 and beyond, and will set out the overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city and county as a whole. Members of the public, children, businesses, community groups and other interested stakeholders are being invited to give their views on the future of Limerick. What is the vision for Limerick? How can we bring people and economic activity back into our city? How can we create compact sustainable communities? How can we reinforce our towns and villages? Where should new housing be located? How can we protect our heritage? Where should new retail be located? Should we increase agricultural sites? What about the climate and sustainable development, provision of public and sustainable transport and the ability to build one-off housing? These are some of the questions that will be addressed throughout the development plan process. The publication of the Issues Paper today is the first step in a 99-week process in the making of the Limerick Development Plan. By law the Council must have its Development Plan agreed and published within this timeframe. This consultation document presents an overview of the main planning and development issues in Limerick. The Limerick Development Plan presents an opportunity to the general public to shape Limerick for the future and ‘have your say’ when it comes to important issues such as housing, economic development, community and heritage, and seeks to encourage public debate on what broad issues should be considered in the new plan. Your input into this process by considering the ‘bigger picture’ issues facing Limerick, is central to its success. Cllr Michael Collins, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick said: “The Limerick Development Plan process encourages public engagement and we want to start the conversation on the issues that affect you.” “This new Limerick Development Plan will provide the blueprint for the development of Limerick, physically, economically and socially in a sustainable manner." Dr Pat Daly, Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council said: “This project is one of the most important and strategic functions of the Local Authority.” “The publication of the Issues Paper is the first step in the plan making process and it sets out some of the key issues for Limerick.” “We want to engage with the people of Limerick, so please have your say on the way you want Limerick to develop over the next decade and help shape the future of our Limerick.” The Issues Paper is divided into eight themes and is guided by the UN Sustainable Goals, the National Planning Framework Project Ireland 2040 and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the Southern Region. The themes are: People & Places, Economic Development & Employment, Connectivity, Infrastructure, Landscape Heritage & Green Infrastructure, Social Community & Cultural Developments, Climate Change & Flood Risk, Environmental Assessments. To get involved in the Limerick Development Plan, click here. As part of the consultation process, Limerick City and County Council has created a virtual room where people can enter to get more information on the Limerick Development Plan, and submit their opinions and comments. A series of public meetings (strictly by appointment and adhering to Covid-19 guidelines) and a webinar are scheduled to discuss the Limerick Development Plan. A ‘Virtual Room’ has been created to give members of the public more information on the plan. For all this information log onto limerick.ie/limerick-development-plan. The Issues Paper is available in Limerick City and County Council’s offices in Merchant’s Quay, and Dooradoyle, the Municipal Offices in Kilmallock, Newcastle West and Rathkeale, as well as the five libraries currently open to the public: Adare; Dooradoyle; Kilmallock; Newcastle West and Watch House Cross. The public consultation period is open until 12th October 2020 at 5pm. You can make a submission through the Council’s consultation portal MyPoint | email: devplan@limerick.ie By Post: Forward/ Strategic Planning, Corporate Headquarters, Limerick City and County Council, Merchant’s Quay, Limerick V94 EH90.

The Challenge of Corona: (Verses 9 - 12 of 16)
Pubs and café are forbidden
And we dare not go to Mass,
Nursing homes we must not visit,
Hospitals we have to pass.
But this enforced isolation
Gives us lots of time to think,
Time to clean the kitchen cupboards,
Time to make our wardrobes shrink.
Could it be that this Corona,
Is a blessing in disguise,
Makes us think about our lifestyle,
Makes us open wide our eyes.
We thought we were all important,
Greatest being on this earth,
So we used it and abused it,
As if it were ours from birth.
Poem will be Continued Next week! (with verses 13 – 16 of 16).

By law the Council must have its Development Plan agreed and published within this timeframe. This consultation document presents an overview of the main planning and development issues in Limerick. The Limerick Development Plan presents an opportunity to the general public to shape Limerick for the future and ‘have your say’ when it comes to important issues such as housing, economic development, community and heritage, and seeks to encourage public debate on what broad issues should be considered in the new plan. Your input into this process by considering the ‘bigger picture’ issues facing Limerick, is central to its success. Cllr Michael Collins, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick said: “The Limerick Development Plan process encourages public engagement and we want to start the conversation on the issues that affect you.” “This new Limerick Development Plan will provide the blueprint for the development of Limerick, physically, economically and socially in a sustainable manner."
Dr Pat Daly, Chief Executive of Limerick City and County Council said: “This project is one of the most important and strategic functions of the Local Authority.” “The publication of the Issues Paper is the first step in the plan making process and it sets out some of the key issues for Limerick.” “We want to engage with the people of Limerick, so please have your say on the way you want Limerick to develop over the next decade and help shape the future of our Limerick.” The Issues Paper is divided into eight themes and is guided by the UN Sustainable Goals, the National Planning Framework Project Ireland 2040 and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the Southern Region. The themes are: People & Places, Economic Development & Employment, Connectivity, Infrastructure, Landscape Heritage & Green Infrastructure, Social Community & Cultural Developments, Climate Change & Flood Risk, Environmental Assessments. To get involved in the Limerick Development Plan, click here. As part of the consultation process, Limerick City and County Council has created a virtual room where people can enter to get more information on the Limerick Development Plan, and submit their opinions and comments. A series of public meetings (strictly by appointment and adhering to Covid-19 guidelines) and a webinar are scheduled to discuss the Limerick Development Plan. A ‘Virtual Room’ has been created to give members of the public more information on the plan. For all this information log onto limerick.ie/limerick-development-plan.

The Challenge of Corona: (Verses 9 - 12 of 16)
Pubs and café are forbidden
And we dare not go to Mass,
Nursing homes we must not visit,
Hospitals we have to pass.
But this enforced isolation
Gives us lots of time to think,
Time to clean the kitchen cupboards,
Time to make our wardrobes shrink.
Could it be that this Corona,
Is a blessing in disguise,
Makes us think about our lifestyle,
Makes us open wide our eyes.
We thought we were all important,
Greatest being on this earth,
So we used it and abused it,
As if it were ours from birth.
Poem will be Continued Next week! (with verses 13 – 16 of 16).

Culture Night 2020:
Culture Night 2020 will take place this year on Friday 18th September, so now is the time to start planning events and activities for the Limerick region! The Tourism, Culture & Arts Office of Limerick City and County Council is inviting event organisers to take part in this year’s event by registering events through a public call. Culture Night is always great fun and offers the perfect opportunity for us, as a region, to showcase the wealth of culture that Limerick has to offer. It is a night to celebrate the cultural, artistic and creative communities of our city and county by inviting existing and new audiences to experience our galleries, museums, workshops and studios. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, it is necessary this year that some changes are made to the 2020 programme. Event organisers are encouraged to programme digital events along with some small pre-booked live events. In planning digital or online events, groups are asked to consider this an opportunity to reach much larger audiences than would be able to attend a live event at present and also to reach new audiences who may not normally be able to attend. All live events that wish to register must implement pre-booking and ticketing to manage audience numbers in line with national Covid-19 regulations and guidelines, abiding by event size regulations and implementing strict safety measures. Never has it been more important for an event like Culture Night to take place as it presents the opportunity for our creative community to work in partnership to nurture the cultural life of our region and support our audiences as they adjust to a new social and cultural environment within their communities. To register your event go to Limerick.ie, click here. Clubs, organisations and groups in Limerick wishing to organise a Culture Night event this year, will be supported with advice, promotion and merchandising by Limerick Tourism, Culture & Arts Office. If you have any queries or would like to know more about getting involved in Culture Night 2020 you can email artsoffice@limerick.ie or call 061 556370.

Limerick Development Plan 2022 – 2028 – What Is Your Vision For Limerick:
What is your vision for Limerick? That is the central question being asked by Limerick City and County Council as the starting line on Limerick’s first ever combined Development Plan is crossed. The Limerick Development Plan is the first combined plan for Limerick city and county since the merger of the two local authorities in 2014 and is one of the most important functions of the council. The plan will be the blueprint for the physical and socio-economic development of Limerick over a six year period, up to 2028 and beyond, and will set out the overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city and county as a whole. Members of the public, children, businesses, community groups and other interested stakeholders are being invited to give their views on the future of Limerick. What is the vision for Limerick? How can we bring people and economic activity back into our city? How can we create compact sustainable communities? How can we reinforce our towns and villages? Where should new housing be located? How can we protect our heritage? Where should new retail be located? Should we increase agricultural sites? What about the climate and sustainable development, provision of public and sustainable transport and the ability to build one-off housing? These are some of the questions that will be addressed throughout the development plan process. The publication of the Issues Paper today is the first step in a 99-week process in the making of the Limerick Development Plan. By law the Council must have its Development Plan agreed and published within this timeframe. This consultation document presents an overview of the main planning and development issues in Limerick.

WEEK ENDING 30th August
Sunday 30th August 2020 - Twenty - Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Anniversary Mass;
Eamonn Fitzgerald – Saturday August 29th at 8.pm.
Ballylanders Pattern Mass Held on Saturday 15th August 2020:
We were blessed with a dry pleasant morning despite recent inclement weather. On arrival the families gathered beside the graves of their loved ones. This made physical distancing very easy and also easy access to all the graves. The reaction to this new arrangement was very positive and many suggested we use that arrangement in future. We missed the friends from abroad and distant parts of the country this year, but thanks to Facebook we were able to link up with them. The graveyard as always was in immaculate condition thanks to our dedicated Coshlea workers this was much appreciated by all who attended the Mass. This year there was a general sprinkling of holy water on the graves rather than the individual sprinkling of graves and Holy Communion was distributed in the Church afterwards. Sincere thanks to all who helped to organise the whole event, the altar, the chairs, public address system, the stewards, those on traffic control, those who oversaw the collection. Many thanks to all, who have contributed to the fund, to maintain the graveyard.
The Challenge of Corona: (Verses 5 - 8 of 16)
But we didn’t want to listen
And we didn’t want to hear,
We just watched TV and Tablets,
Drank our wine and quaffed beer.
Then Corona chose to visit,
We were all caught unprepared.
This wee microscopic VIRUS,
Has our whole world running scared.
So our hands we keep on washing
And we’re careful when we cough.
We stand six feet from our neighbour,
Cause this virus might jump off.
Now we live in isolation,
While our hearts are full of fear
And we fill our fridge and cupboards,
Just in case it lasts a year.
Poem will be Continued Next week! (with verses 9 - 12 of 16).

WEEK ENDING 23rd August
Sunday 23rd August 2020 - Twenty - First Sunday in Ordinary Time
Anniversary Mass;
Billy Morrissey - Carraturk. Eamonn Fitzgerald – Saturday August 29th at 8.pm.
August is Confirmation Month:
Two groups of our Children will receive Confirmation this month. The dates are this Saturday August 22nd and next Saturday 29th August, each ceremony will take place at 11AM. The ceremonies will be done in small Groups with limited attendance, this means that it is not possible for the Bishop to come in person to Administer the Sacrament. The Parish Priest in each Parish will Administer the Sacrament to the children. We devote this month of August to our Confirmation children and I ask you to remember them each day in your prayers and at Mass.
Ballylanders Pattern Mass Held on Saturday 15th August 2020:
We were blessed with a dry pleasant morning despite recent inclement weather. On arrival the families gathered beside the graves of their loved ones. This made physical distancing very easy and also made easy access to all graves. The reaction to this new arrangement was very positive and many suggested we use that arrangement in future. We missed the friends from abroad and distant parts of the country this year, but thanks to Facebook we were able to link up with them. The graveyard as always was in immaculate condition thanks to our dedicated Coshlea workers, this was much appreciated by all who attended the Mass. This year there was a general sprinkling of holy water on the graves rather than the individual sprinkling of graves and Holy Communion was distributed in the church afterwards. Sincere thanks to all who helped to organise the whole event, the altar, chairs, public address system, the stewards, those on traffic control, those who oversaw the collection. Many thanks to all, who have contributed to the fund, to maintain the graveyard.
The Challenge of Corona: (Verses 1 – 4 of 16)
We were flying to the Moon,
We were finding life on Mars,
We were dropping bombs with drones,
We were getting bigger cars.
We were building finer homes,
Flying out to warmer lands,
We were busy buying clothes,
We were brushing up our tans.
We were throwing out good food,
While we watched the starving poor,
We kept burning fossil fuels,
And our air became less pure.
We were warned by our Pope,
Need to mind our Common Home,
Need to watch our Carbon Footprint,
Try to save our world from doom.

BALLYLANDERS NEWSLETTER
WEEK ENDING 9th August
Sunday 9th August 2020 - Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Anniversaries:
William Kelly - Knocklong Road.
Pattern Mass 2020:
Recently Archbishop 0’ Reilly asked us to ‘exercise extreme care and caution’ with open air cemetery masses. On Wednesday the number of new cases was 50, the bishop’s advice is very wise. We will have our annual Pattern Cemetery Mass on Saturday August 15th at 11.00 AM at Our Lady’s well. There are some adjustments we must make. To make sure it’s a safe experience for everyone we must make some adjustments.
Distribution Of Holy Communion At The Pattern Mass:
There is a difficulty in distribution of Holy Communion in the open air with the protection of respects. The challenge is how to protect the health of the communion helpers. The virus is now in the community and in some cases the source has not been identified. I have a duty to protect the well being of communion helpers and their families, most of whom are over 60. It is a serious matter and not to be taken lightly.
August is Confirmation Month:
Two groups of our Children will receive Confirmation this month. The dates are Saturday August 22nd and Saturday 29th August, each ceremony will take place at 11 AM. The ceremonies will be done in small Groups with limited attendance, this means that it is not possible for the Bishop to come in person to Administer the Sacrament. The Parish Priest in each Parish will Administer the Sacrament to the children. We devote this month of August to our Confirmation children and I ask you to remember them each day in your prayers and at Mass.
Trocaire Collection:
Thank you for contributing to the parish collections. We are asked to remember the poor in foreign countries. You can contribute directly to Trocaire or hand the money in with your collection. We must remember the poor.
More Volunteers Needed:
Many thanks to those who offered to help with the door collection and the wipe down after Masses. These are going to be ongoing tasks so we do need to set up firm rotas and publish them each week in the newsletter. It is our way of protecting one another. Names, please to the sacristy or any member of the Parish Support Group.
Mass And Face Masks:
It is ‘highly recommend ‘, that we wear masks attending Mass. Some already wear them. It does give confidence to older people to attend. So please consider wearing a mask at Mass. The spread of the virus is now being spread more and more in the community rather than residential centres.
Spiritual Communion Prayer:
This is a simple and loving Spiritual Communion we are all called to make in times when we are unable to attend and receive Communion:-
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The Challenge of Corona:
We were flying to the Moon, we were finding life on Mars, we were dropping bombs with drones, we were getting bigger cars. We were building finer homes, flying out to warmer lands, we were busy buying clothes, we were brushing up our tans. We were throwing out good food, while we watched the starving poor, we kept burning fossil fuels, and our air became less pure. We were warned by our Pope, need to mind our Common Home, need to watch our Carbon Footprint, try to save our world from doom. But we didn’t want to listen and we didn’t want to hear, we just watched TV and Tablets, drank our wine and quaffed beer. Then Corona chose to visit, we were all caught unprepared. This wee microscopic VIRUS, has our whole world running scared. So our hands we keep on washing and we’re careful when we cough. We stand six feet from our neighbour, cause this virus might jump off. Now we live in isolation, while our hearts are full of fear and we fill our fridge and cupboards, just in case it lasts a year. Pubs and café are forbidden and we dare not go to Mass, nursing homes we must not visit, hospitals we have to pass. But this enforced isolation gives us lots of time to think, time to clean the kitchen cupboards, time to make our wardrobes shrink. Could it be that this Corona, is a blessing in disguise, makes us think about our lifestyle, makes us open wide our eyes. We thought we were all important, greatest being on this earth, so we used it and abused it, as if it were ours from birth. But Corona is a challenge, Makes us take a different view, Helps us see what really matters, what it is we need to do. We must watch out for our neighbour, doing everything we can, we are all in this together, let us love our fellow man. God is with us every moment, minding us with loving care, now we know how much we need Him, let us talk to Him in prayer. So Corona, thanks for coming, Truth to tell you, we needed you, but don’t overstay your welcome, that, alas would never do!
Search For Descendants:
Hello. I hope that you can help me. I believe my family is from Ballylanders originally. There is a question on the name of my Great Grandmother. Her sister is Margaret Lee Ryan Stanton and was a cousin to Reverend Tim Lee whom I also believe was from this area. Margaret was born to Mary Fitzgerald and Daniel Lee in 1858. Her sister we are told was married to an O’Dwyer who passed and the children were placed in a Protestant orphanage, which would be a change on religion. Can you steer me on the right direction. I believe that her name was Kathleen but there also was a name change to Burton at some point. I hope that parish records can tell me the story. In order to obtain birth certificates, I need the name of my Great Grandmother at birth, whom I know was baptized in Roman Catholic Church. Anyone with any information please contact: Darcy Shippey by email: dship05@yahoo.com

August is Confirmation Month:
Two groups of our Children will receive Confirmation this month. The dates are Saturday August 22nd and Saturday 29th August, each ceremony will take place at 11AM. The ceremonies will be done in small Groups with limited attendance, this means that it is not possible for the Bishop to come in person to Administer the Sacrament. The Parish Priest in each Parish will Administer the Sacrament to the children. We devote this month of August to our Confirmation children and I ask you to remember them each day in your prayers and at Mass.
More Volunteers Needed:
Many thanks to those who offered to help with the door collection and the wipe down after Masses. These are going to be ongoing tasks so we do need to set up firm rotas and publish them each week in the newsletter. It is our way of protecting one another. Names, please to the sacristy or any member of the Parish Support Group.
Mass And Face Masks:
It is ‘highly recommend ‘, that we wear masks attending Mass. Some already wear them. It does give confidence to older people to attend. So please consider wearing a mask at Mass. The spread of the virus is now being spread more and more in the community rather than residential centres.
Parish Masses:
Masses in Parish Church this weekend as follows Saturday 1st July at 8pm and Sunday 2nd August, at 10am. At this time there is no obligation on those worried or anxious about being in a crowd to attend mass. A slow start is probably the best way to go, Mass on Facebook will continue from the Church on Sundays at 10AM only. Consider making a visit to the Church before Saturday to familiarise yourself with the new lay out. Holy Communion will be distributed at the end of Mass starting from the back row.
Trocaire Collection:
Thank you for contributing to the parish collections. We are asked to remember the poor in foreign countries. You can contribute directly to Trocaire or hand the money in with your collection. We must remember the poor.
Spiritual Communion Prayer:
This is a simple and loving Spiritual Communion we are all called to make in times when we are unable to attend and receive Communion:-
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The Challenge of Corona:
We were flying to the Moon, we were finding life on Mars, we were dropping bombs with drones, we were getting bigger cars. We were building finer homes, flying out to warmer lands, we were busy buying clothes, we were brushing up our tans. We were throwing out good food, while we watched the starving poor, we kept burning fossil fuels, and our air became less pure. We were warned by our Pope, need to mind our Common Home, need to watch our Carbon Footprint, try to save our world from doom. But we didn’t want to listen and we didn’t want to hear, we just watched TV and Tablets, drank our wine and quaffed beer. Then Corona chose to visit, we were all caught unprepared. This wee microscopic VIRUS, has our whole world running scared. So our hands we keep on washing and we’re careful when we cough. We stand six feet from our neighbour, cause this virus might jump off. Now we live in isolation, while our hearts are full of fear and we fill our fridge and cupboards, just in case it lasts a year. Pubs and café are forbidden and we dare not go to Mass, nursing homes we must not visit, hospitals we have to pass. But this enforced isolation gives us lots of time to think, time to clean the kitchen cupboards, time to make our wardrobes shrink. Could it be that this Corona, is a blessing in disguise, makes us think about our lifestyle, makes us open wide our eyes. We thought we were all important, greatest being on this earth, so we used it and abused it, as if it were ours from birth. But Corona is a challenge, Makes us take a different view, Helps us see what really matters, what it is we need to do. We must watch out for our neighbour, doing everything we can, we are all in this together, let us love our fellow man. God is with us every moment, minding us with loving care, now we know how much we need Him, let us talk to Him in prayer. So Corona, thanks for coming, Truth to tell you, we needed you, but don’t overstay your welcome, that, alas would never do!

Hello. I hope that you can help me. I believe my family is from Ballylanders originally. There is a question on the name of my Great Grandmother. Her sister is Margaret Lee Ryan Stanton and was a cousin to Reverend Tim Lee whom I also believe was from this area. Margaret was born to Mary Fitzgerald and Daniel Lee in 1858. Her sister we are told was married to an O’Dwyer who passed and the children were placed in a Protestant orphanage, which would be a change on religion. Can you steer me on the right direction. I believe that her name was Kathleen but there also was a name change to Burton at some point. I hope that parish records can tell me the story. In order to obtain birth certificates, I need the name of my Great Grandmother at birth, whom I know was baptized in Roman Catholic Church.

Prayer of Consecration:
Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Health of the Sick, at this time of great challenge to our country from the coronavirus, we consecrate to Jesus through your Immaculate Heart: ourselves, our family, the members of our parish and Diocese, and the people of Ireland. O Mary, Queen of Ireland, when you appeared at Knock, you gave hope to your people in a time of distress, and brought them comfort in a time of sorrow. Be with us now as a sign of salvation and hope, as we entrust ourselves to your loving care. We renew the promises of our Baptism and Confirmation and ask your intercession that we may be always faithful to Christ and to his Church. Bring under you mantle of protection all those who are suffering because of the coronavirus, and those who care for the sick and minister in their needs, as your Son implores us to do for one another. O loving Mother, at the foot of the Cross, with steadfast faith, your immaculate Heart was pierced by grief at the suffering of your Son. You know that we need during difficult days. Help us, O Mother of Devine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us – He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. O Blessed Mother, Our Life, our Sweetness and Our Hope, we wish that this Consecration be for the glory of God and that it lead us safely to Jesus your Son. A Naomh-Mhuire, a Mháthair Dé, guigh orainn na peacaigh, anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.
Blessing: May your servants be shielded, O Lord By the protection of your loving-kindness, That, doing what is good in this world, They may reach you, their highest good. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

- Establish, in consultation with the Parish Pastoral Group/Council, A PARISH SUPPORT GROUP of parishioners and staff who will be able to implement the Framework Document in the circumstances of your parish. It is important to remember the “Return to Work Safety Protocol” published by the Government is a statutory requirement and applies to all parishes.
- The tasks of the Parish Support Group are as follows:
- Reflect on how to enlist volunteers to assist with the re-opening, i.e. recruit, where possible, parishioners with a background in health care/public health care, hygiene management, those have experienced of stewarding gatherings and those who can help communicate the arrangements for Masses etc.
- A risk assessment of your church(es) and sacrist(ies) should be carried out by this support team.
- Devise a plan, applicable to each church in the parish, to allow for safe queuing prior to entry, movement of people within the church and the distribution of Holy Communion in a safe manner for all. Please arrange for appropriate signage which clearly indicates how this will work.
- Identify how people with a physical disability will be facilitated (possibly accompanied by a carer or a support person).
- Initially, in a parish with more than one church, consider whether it might be more effective, in terms of facilitating numbers and maintaining hygiene, to celebrate Mass in the largest Church for the foreseeable future. This is a matter for the Parish Support Group. There should be no multiplication of the Masses.
- Plan to have one or more supervised boxes at the entrances of the Church for the contribution envelopes/cash offerings to avoid the need for people to pass collection baskets or bags.
Trocaire Collection:
Thank you for contributing to the parish collections. We are asked to remember the poor in foreign countries. You can contribute directly to Trocaire or hand the money in with your collection. We must remember the poor.
Memorial Masses For The Dead:
These Masses will be arranged in due course after we have all got used to the new routine for the weekends.
We Remember Our Dead:
We remember all who were buried during the lockdown. We remember those here locally and relatives and friends who died elsewhere.
Spiritual Communion Prayer:
This is a simple and loving Spiritual Communion we are all called to make in times when we are unable to attend and receive Communion:-
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The Challenge of Corona:
We were flying to the Moon, we were finding life on Mars, we were dropping bombs with drones, we were getting bigger cars. We were building finer homes, flying out to warmer lands, we were busy buying clothes, we were brushing up our tans. We were throwing out good food, while we watched the starving poor, we kept burning fossil fuels, and our air became less pure. We were warned by our Pope, need to mind our Common Home, need to watch our Carbon Footprint, try to save our world from doom. But we didn’t want to listen and we didn’t want to hear, we just watched TV and Tablets, drank our wine and quaffed beer. Then Corona chose to visit, we were all caught unprepared. This wee microscopic VIRUS, has our whole world running scared. So our hands we keep on washing and we’re careful when we cough. We stand six feet from our neighbour, cause this virus might jump off. Now we live in isolation, while our hearts are full of fear and we fill our fridge and cupboards, just in case it lasts a year. Pubs and café are forbidden and we dare not go to Mass, nursing homes we must not visit, hospitals we have to pass. But this enforced isolation gives us lots of time to think, time to clean the kitchen cupboards, time to make our wardrobes shrink. Could it be that this Corona, is a blessing in disguise, makes us think about our lifestyle, makes us open wide our eyes. We thought we were all important, greatest being on this earth, so we used it and abused it, as if it were ours from birth. But Corona is a challenge, Makes us take a different view, Helps us see what really matters, what it is we need to do. We must watch out for our neighbour, doing everything we can, we are all in this together, let us love our fellow man. God is with us every moment, minding us with loving care, now we know how much we need Him, let us talk to Him in prayer. So Corona, thanks for coming, Truth to tell you, we needed you, but don’t overstay your welcome, that, alas would never do!
Prayer of Consecration:
Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Health of the Sick, at this time of great challenge to our country from the coronavirus, we consecrate to Jesus through your Immaculate Heart: ourselves, our family, the members of our parish and Diocese, and the people of Ireland. O Mary, Queen of Ireland, when you appeared at Knock, you gave hope to your people in a time of distress, and brought them comfort in a time of sorrow. Be with us now as a sign of salvation and hope, as we entrust ourselves to your loving care. We renew the promises of our Baptism and Confirmation and ask your intercession that we may be always faithful to Christ and to his Church. Bring under you mantle of protection all those who are suffering because of the coronavirus, and those who care for the sick and minister in their needs, as your Son implores us to do for one another. O loving Mother, at the foot of the Cross, with steadfast faith, your immaculate Heart was pierced by grief at the suffering of your Son. You know that we need during difficult days. Help us, O Mother of Devine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us – He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. O Blessed Mother, Our Life, our Sweetness and Our Hope, we wish that this Consecration be for the glory of God and that it lead us safely to Jesus your Son. A Naomh-Mhuire, a Mháthair Dé, guigh orainn na peacaigh, anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.
Blessing: May your servants be shielded, O Lord By the protection of your loving-kindness, That, doing what is good in this world, They may reach you, their highest good. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hello. I hope that you can help me. I believe my family is from Ballylanders originally. There is a question on the name of my Great Grandmother. Her sister is Margaret Lee Ryan Stanton and was a cousin to Reverend Tim Lee whom I also believe was from this area. Margaret was born to Mary Fitzgerald and Daniel Lee in 1858. Her sister we are told was married to an O’Dwyer who passed and the children were placed in a Protestant orphanage, which would be a change on religion. Can you steer me on the right direction. I believe that her name was Kathleen but there also was a name change to Burton at some point. I hope that parish records can tell me the story. In order to obtain birth certificates, I need the name of my Great Grandmother at birth, whom I know was baptized in Roman Catholic Church. Anyone with any information please contact: Darcy Shippey by email: dship05@yahoo.com

The Challenge of Corona:
We were flying to the Moon, we were finding life on Mars, we were dropping bombs with drones, we were getting bigger cars. We were building finer homes, flying out to warmer lands, we were busy buying clothes, we were brushing up our tans. We were throwing out good food, while we watched the starving poor, we kept burning fossil fuels, and our air became less pure. We were warned by our Pope, need to mind our Common Home, need to watch our Carbon Footprint, try to save our world from doom. But we didn’t want to listen and we didn’t want to hear, we just watched TV and Tablets, drank our wine and quaffed beer. Then Corona chose to visit, we were all caught unprepared. This wee microscopic VIRUS, has our whole world running scared. So our hands we keep on washing and we’re careful when we cough. We stand six feet from our neighbour, cause this virus might jump off. Now we live in isolation, while our hearts are full of fear and we fill our fridge and cupboards, just in case it lasts a year. Pubs and café are forbidden and we dare not go to Mass, nursing homes we must not visit, hospitals we have to pass. But this enforced isolation gives us lots of time to think, time to clean the kitchen cupboards, time to make our wardrobes shrink. Could it be that this Corona, is a blessing in disguise, makes us think about our lifestyle, makes us open wide our eyes. We thought we were all important, greatest being on this earth, so we used it and abused it, as if it were ours from birth. But Corona is a challenge, Makes us take a different view, Helps us see what really matters, what it is we need to do. We must watch out for our neighbour, doing everything we can, we are all in this together, let us love our fellow man. God is with us every moment, minding us with loving care, now we know how much we need Him, let us talk to Him in prayer. So Corona, thanks for coming, Truth to tell you, we needed you, but don’t overstay your welcome, that, alas would never do!
Prayer of Consecration:
Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Health of the Sick, at this time of great challenge to our country from the coronavirus, we consecrate to Jesus through your Immaculate Heart: ourselves, our family, the members of our parish and Diocese, and the people of Ireland. O Mary, Queen of Ireland, when you appeared at Knock, you gave hope to your people in a time of distress, and brought them comfort in a time of sorrow. Be with us now as a sign of salvation and hope, as we entrust ourselves to your loving care. We renew the promises of our Baptism and Confirmation and ask your intercession that we may be always faithful to Christ and to his Church. Bring under you mantle of protection all those who are suffering because of the coronavirus, and those who care for the sick and minister in their needs, as your Son implores us to do for one another. O loving Mother, at the foot of the Cross, with steadfast faith, your immaculate Heart was pierced by grief at the suffering of your Son. You know that we need during difficult days.
Help us, O Mother of Devine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us – He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.
O Blessed Mother, Our Life, our Sweetness and Our Hope, we wish that this Consecration be for the glory of God and that it lead us safely to Jesus your Son. A Naomh-Mhuire, a Mháthair Dé, guigh orainn na peacaigh, anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.
Blessing: May your servants be shielded, O Lord By the protection of your loving-kindness, That, doing what is good in this world, They may reach you, their highest good. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hello. I hope that you can help me. I believe my family is from Ballylanders originally. There is a question on the name of my Great Grandmother. Her sister is Margaret Lee Ryan Stanton and was a cousin to Reverend Tim Lee whom I also believe was from this area. Margaret was born to Mary Fitzgerald and Daniel Lee in 1858. Her sister we are told was married to an O’Dwyer who passed and the children were placed in a Protestant orphanage, which would be a change on religion. Can you steer me on the right direction. I believe that her name was Kathleen but there also was a name change to Burton at some point. I hope that parish records can tell me the story. In order to obtain birth certificates, I need the name of my Great Grandmother at birth, whom I know was baptized in Roman Catholic Church. Anyone with any information please contact: Darcy Shippey by email: dship05@yahoo.com

Details of A PARISH SUPPORT GROUP are on this Newsletter. Please let us have your name if you are willing to join that support group. A Covid 19 Officer has to be appointed for the Parish to oversee the guidelines.
Re-opening for Public Mass Guidelines from Archbishop O’Reilly:
Beginnings
- Establish, in consultation with the Parish Pastoral Group/Council, A PARISH SUPPORT GROUP of parishioners and staff who will be able to implement the Framework Document in the circumstances of your parish. It is important to remember the “Return to Work Safety Protocol” published by the Government is a statutory requirement and applies to all parishes.
- The tasks of the Parish Support Group are as follows:
- Reflect on how to enlist volunteers to assist with the re-opening, i.e. recruit, where possible, parishioners with a background in health care/public health care, hygiene management, those have experienced of stewarding gatherings and those who can help communicate the arrangements for Masses etc.
- A risk assessment of your church(es) and sacrist(ies) should be carried out by this support team.
- Devise a plan, applicable to each church in the parish, to allow for safe queueing prior to entry, movement of people within the church and the distribution of Holy Communion in a safe manner for all. Please arrange for appropriate signage which clearly indicates how this will work.
- Identify how people with a physical disability will be facilitated (possibly accompanied by a carer or a support person).
- Initially, in a parish with more than one church, consider whether it might be more effective, in terms of facilitating numbers and maintaining hygiene, to celebrate Mass in the largest Church for the foreseeable future. This is a matter for the Parish Support Group. There should be no multiplication of the Masses.
- Plan to have one or more supervised boxes at the entrances of the Church for the contribution envelopes/cash offerings to avoid the need for people to pass collection baskets or bags.
Trocaire Collection:
Thank you for contributing to the parish collections. We are asked to remember the poor in foreign countries. You can contribute directly to Trocaire or hand the money in with your collection. We must remember the poor.

Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Health of the Sick, at this time of great challenge to our country from the coronavirus, we consecrate to Jesus through your Immaculate Heart: ourselves, our family, the members of our parish and Diocese, and the people of Ireland.
O Mary, Queen of Ireland, when you appeared at Knock, you gave hope to your people in a time of distress, and brought them comfort in a time of sorrow.
Be with us now as a sign of salvation and hope, as we entrust ourselves to your loving care.
We renew the promises of our Baptism and Confirmation and ask your intercession that we may be always faithful to Christ and to his Church.
Bring under you mantle of protection all those who are suffering because of the coronavirus, and those who care for the sick and minister in their needs, as your Son implores us to do for one another.
O loving Mother, at the foot of the Cross, with steadfast faith, your immaculate Heart was pierced by grief at the suffering of your Son.
You know that we need during difficult days.
Help us, O Mother of Devine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us – He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.
O Blessed Mother, Our Life, our Sweetness and Our Hope, we wish that this Consecration be for the glory of God and that it lead us safely to Jesus your Son.
A Naomh-Mhuire, a Mháthair Dé, guigh orainn na peacaigh, anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.
Blessing: May your servants be shielded, O Lord By the protection of your loving-kindness, That, doing what is good in this world, They may reach you, their highest good. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Memorial Masses For The Dead:
These Masses will be arranged in due course after we have all got used to the new routine for the weekends.
Re-opening for Public Mass Guidelines from Archbishop O’Reilly:
Beginnings
- Establish, in consultation with the Parish Pastoral Group/Council, A PARISH SUPPORT GROUP of parishioners and staff who will be able to implement the Framework Document in the circumstances of your parish. It is important to remember the “Return to Work Safety Protocol” published by the Government is a statutory requirement and applies to all parishes.
- The tasks of the Parish Support Group are as follows:
- Reflect on how to enlist volunteers to assist with the re-opening, i.e. recruit, where possible, parishioners with a background in health care/public health care, hygiene management, those have experienced of stewarding gatherings and those who can help communicate the arrangements for Masses etc.
- A risk assessment of your church(es) and sacrist(ies) should be carried out by this support team.
- Devise a plan, applicable to each church in the parish, to allow for safe queueing prior to entry, movement of people within the church and the distribution of Holy Communion in a safe manner for all. Please arrange for appropriate signage which clearly indicates how this will work.
- Identify how people with a physical disability will be facilitated (possibly accompanied by a carer or a support person).
- Initially, in a parish with more than one church, consider whether it might be more effective, in terms of facilitating numbers and maintaining hygiene, to celebrate Mass in the largest Church for the foreseeable future. This is a matter for the Parish Support Group. There should be no multiplication of the Masses.
- Plan to have one or more supervised boxes at the entrances of the Church for the contribution envelopes/cash offerings to avoid the need for people to pass collection baskets or bags.
Install dispensers for sanitising gel at entrances, the sanctuary, as well as toilet facilities and sacristies. Aim, where possible, to avoid “pinch-points” in particular, at exits by asking the congregation to leave in stages/small groups.

- Establish, in consultation with the Parish Pastoral Group/Council, A PARISH SUPPORT GROUP of parishioners and staff who will be able to implement the Framework Document in the circumstances of your parish. It is important to remember the “Return to Work Safety Protocol” published by the Government is a statutory requirement and applies to all parishes.
- The tasks of the Parish Support Group are as follows:
- Reflect on how to enlist volunteers to assist with the re-opening, i.e. recruit, where possible, parishioners with a background in health care/public health care, hygiene management, those have experienced of stewarding gatherings and those who can help communicate the arrangements for Masses etc.
- A risk assessment of your church(es) and sacrist(ies) should be carried out by this support team.
- Devise a plan, applicable to each church in the parish, to allow for safe queueing prior to entry, movement of people within the church and the distribution of Holy Communion in a safe manner for all. Please arrange for appropriate signage which clearly indicates how this will work.
- Identify how people with a physical disability will be facilitated (possibly accompanied by a carer or a support person).
- Initially, in a parish with more than one church, consider whether it might be more effective, in terms of facilitating numbers and maintaining hygiene, to celebrate Mass in the largest Church for the foreseeable future. This is a matter for the Parish Support Group. There should be no multiplication of the Masses.
- Plan to have one or more supervised boxes at the entrances of the Church for the contribution envelopes/cash offerings to avoid the need for people to pass collection baskets or bags.
Install dispensers for sanitising gel at entrances, the sanctuary, as well as toilet facilities and sacristies. Aim, where possible, to avoid “pinch-points” in particular, at exits by asking the congregation to leave in stages/small groups.
Mass On This Monday June 29 Is At 10 am:
All familiar guidelines must be adhered to. I Look forward to seeing you all again.
Parish Church:
The church will be open for 10 am Mass from this Monday 29th June 2020.
We Remember Our Dead:
We remember all who were buried during the lockdown. We remember those here locally and relatives and friends who died elsewhere.
Spiritual Communion Prayer:
This is a simple and loving Spiritual Communion we are all called to make in times when we are unable to attend and receive Communion:-
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

O Mary, Queen of Ireland, when you appeared at Knock, you gave hope to your people in a time of distress, and brought them comfort in a time of sorrow.
Be with us now as a sign of salvation and hope, as we entrust ourselves to your loving care.
We renew the promises of our Baptism and Confirmation and ask your intercession that we may be always faithful to Christ and to his Church.
Bring under you mantle of protection all those who are suffering because of the coronavirus, and those who care for the sick and minister in their needs, as your Son implores us to do for one another.
O loving Mother, at the foot of the Cross, with steadfast faith, your immaculate Heart was pierced by grief at the suffering of your Son.
You know that we need during difficult days.
Help us, O Mother of Devine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us – He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.
O Blessed Mother, Our Life, Our Sweetness and Our Hope, we wish that this Consecration be for the glory of God and that it lead us safely to Jesus your Son.
A Naomh-Mhuire, a Mháthair Dé, guigh orainn na peacaigh, anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.
Blessing: May your servants be shielded, O Lord By the protection of your loving-kindness, That, doing what is good in this world, They may reach you, their highest good. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I say a special prayer for older people who now have to stay indoors. For house bound the best advice seems to be: do have a regular daily routine however simple, please don’t just drift along. Many people need a prayer especially the cystic fibrosis suffers, they are just terrified because they are most vulnerable. They worry about their breathing even in the best of times.
Parish Spirit:
There is a great parish spirit here in Ballylanders. Please do not hesitate to let us know your needs, even if it’s only to receive a phone call. I know some grandparents are waving at their grandchildren through the window. A small thing but it makes a big difference.
Parish Church:
Our Parish Church is open each day from 11AM to 4PM. Many are visiting to pray and light a candle.
Spiritual Communion Prayer:
This is a simple and loving Spiritual Communion we are all called to make in times when we are unable to attend and receive Communion:.
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen

RTE To Broadcast Daily Mass On RTE NEWS NOW At 10.30 AM:
In response to Covid-19-related restrictions on public gatherings, RTÉ will air Mass every weekday at 10.30am from St Eunan's and St Columba's Cathedral, Letterkenny, on RTÉ News Now. The broadcasts will continue at least until 29th March, when current public health measures will be reviewed by the Government. Mass will be followed each day by a short religious message from representatives of Ireland's other faith communities and Christian denominations. RTÉ's Head of Religious Content, Roger Childs, said: "We are aware that, either through self-isolation or Government restrictions, many people are unable to come together to worship at precisely the time when they feel most in need of community, comfort, encouragement and prayer. "Facilitated by the web-streaming service churchservices.tv, the Bishop of Raphoe, Dr Alan McGuckian, and Cathedral Administrator, Monsignor Kevin Gillespie, have kindly agreed to celebrate a Mass every weekday morning, which RTÉ is very happy to share with viewers, as part of our commitment to public service during the current emergency. We want people of all faiths to know that RTÉ is with them in spirit. "Because so many churches have taken the decision to cease public worship during the current crisis, to minimise social contact and contagion, Bishop Alan McGuckian has promised that priests in his diocese will continue to celebrate Mass for a virtual congregation. RTÉ will also continue to broadcast a diverse range of Christian worship every Sunday at 11am, on RTÉ One Television, RTÉ Radio 1 Extra/LW252 and, in Irish, on RTÉ Raidio Na Gaeltachta. The national broadcaster will also mark the Jewish festival of Passover with a short programme on RTÉ One at 5.35pm on Sunday 5th April and, on Saturday 11th April, will celebrate the Sikh festival of Vaisakhi, again at 5.35pm on RTÉ One.

Thank you to the Ballylanders Vintage Tractors for organising the Tractor Run. The Ballylanders Development Association would like to sincerely thank all those that helped make this such a wonderful community event.

Your continued support will be greatly appreciated.
Ballylanders Photo History Book:
At the recent launch of Ballylanders Photo History Book held in the Day Care Centre on Saturday 30th November, the Chairman John Kelly said the book would help to remind us and our future generations of our past history in the parish. The concept of the publication was initiated by our Parish Priest Fr Tom Breen in conjunction with the Golden Jubilee celebration in the Church which was held in May. The Idea came to Fr Breen when his brother showed him a similar book in his home parish in West Tipperary. The thought occurred to Fr Breen that we now live in a visual age where it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. He then set about forming a committee to replicate the idea in Ballylanders. The book tells the story in photographical form as to how our ancestors and forefathers lived their lives, how they worked, the method they used and the mode of transport at the time was either horse and trap or bicycle. The book was officially launched by Ann Crowley who lives in Dublin. Ann has strong links with Ballylanders and is Granddaughter of Peter Crowley who was one of the four hunger strikers from Ballylanders. She is also a grandniece of Tadhg Crowley a former TD and a grandniece of John Crowley who was also a hunger striker. Ann said it was a great honour to be asked back to Ballylanders to officially launch the book and she complimented the committee on their work in compiling the book and went on to say that the book was a glowing tribute to our ancestors. The Chairman John Kelly thanked Ann for officially launching the book and all those who had helped to bring the book to completion especially the very dedicated committee of Fr Breen, Tom Fox, Sean Irwin and Michael Upton. John also thanked all those who helped out with typing and Maria Kelly for her help with the design and layout of the book. The book went on sale immediately after the launch at a cost of €25 and is available to buy in all the local shops in Ballylanders, Centra in Mitchelstown, O’Neill’s and Cummins in Galbally, Kevin Lanes in Anglesboro, Creeds in Elton and Meade’s in Knocklong. The book would make an ideal Christmas present for a friend or family member. The book can be purchased from John Kelly on 087 092 3254 or the local shops listed above. It will also be available on the Ballylanders web site at www.ballylanders.com

Christmas in the Park:
Despite the cold weather, last Sunday saw crowds of locals turn out for the Vintage Tractor Run and the turning on of the Christmas Tree lights in our local Village Park. It was a great evening for young and old with the highlight being Santa arriving on a festive lit tractor and sleigh and turning on the tree lights! Thank you to the Ballylanders Vintage Tractors for organising the Tractor Run. The Ballylanders Development Association would like to sincerely thank all those that helped make this such a wonderful community event. Thank you to Mairéad Hayes (Mace), Pajo McCarthy, Jimmy Ryan, Steve Patten, Matthew Walsh, Kelleher Electrical, our local schools (Ballylanders, Knockadea & Glenbrohane) and of course our VIP for the evening, Santa! We would also like to thank all those who kindly donated baking for the cake sale, and everyone who helped in any way before or on the evening itself. Over the next few months the Ballylanders Development Association hope to develop a plan to further develop and improve the wonderful facilities, like our Park, and all, our village has to offer. Your continued support will be greatly appreciated.
Ballylanders Photo History Book:
At the recent launch of Ballylanders Photo History Book held in the Day Care Centre on Saturday 30th November, the Chairman John Kelly said the book would help to remind us and our future generations of our past history in the parish. The concept of the publication was initiated by our Parish Priest Fr Tom Breen in conjunction with the Golden Jubilee celebration in the Church which was held in May. The Idea came to Fr Breen when his brother showed him a similar book in his home parish in West Tipperary. The thought occurred to Fr Breen that we now live in a visual age where it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. He then set about forming a committee to replicate the idea in Ballylanders. The book tells the story in photographical form as to how our ancestors and forefathers lived their lives, how they worked, the method they used and the mode of transport at the time was either horse and trap or bicycle. The book was officially launched by Ann Crowley who lives in Dublin. Ann has strong links with Ballylanders and is Granddaughter of Peter Crowley who was one of the four hunger strikers from Ballylanders. She is also a grandniece of Tadhg Crowley a former TD and a grandniece of John Crowley who was also a hunger striker. Ann said it was a great honour to be asked back to Ballylanders to officially launch the book and she complimented the committee on their work in compiling the book and went on to say that the book was a glowing tribute to our ancestors. The Chairman John Kelly thanked Ann for officially launching the book and all those who had helped to bring the book to completion especially the very dedicated committee of Fr Breen, Tom Fox, Sean Irwin and Michael Upton. John also thanked all those who helped out with typing and Maria Kelly for her help with the design and layout of the book. The book went on sale immediately after the launch at a cost of €25 and is available to buy in all the local shops in Ballylanders, Centra in Mitchelstown, O’Neill’s and Cummins in Galbally, Kevin Lanes in Anglesboro, Creeds in Elton and Meade’s in Knocklong. The book would make an ideal Christmas present for a friend or family member. The book can be purchased from John Kelly on 087 092 3254 or the local shops listed above. It will also be available on the Ballylanders web site at www.ballylanders.com

Sunday December 1st is the first Sunday of Advent. Our advent wreath will be in place with its four candles to mark the four Sundays.
Ballylanders Pastoral Council:
Thanks to those who have volunteered to take part in the training. We meet with the local parishes in Ballykisteen Hotel on Monday November 25th at 7.30pm. This is a timely initiative as the time has arrived for lay people to take up leadership roles. Some training is needed to help members to have a clear vision of their role in the new arrangement.
Month of November:
Our long catholic tradition urges us to pray for the dead in a special way during November. We do that by visiting the graves, lighting a candle or putting their names on the white dove and hanging it on the memory tree in the church.
Rosary in The Grave Yard:
At 3pm each Sunday during November the Rosary will be recited at the statue of Our Lady.

Diocesan Training Course:
Many parishes already have a parish pastoral council. This is a trained group who help to organise the parish in a way that nourishes the faith life of the people. This training helps volunteers to understand their role as council members, clarifies the length of membership and explains how to recruit new members. This training course starts in November. We are asking for volunteers to do the training and then make a final decision about serving for a fixed term on the council. The steps are recruitment, training and commitment to serve.
Mission Sunday:
Pope Francis is encouraging all the baptised to be more active in spreading the good news that Jesus loves us enough to die for us. Many people in Ireland today do not see any relevance of the faith in their lives. This means we all need to be ready to explain what the faith means to us personally and to lead by good example. God is always on the side of the oppressed.

A Working Group was established in 2017 to discuss the potential of reopening the national school for the community of Glenroe.

Diocesan Training Course:
Many parishes already have a parish pastoral council. This is a trained group who help to organise the parish in a way that nourishes the faith life of the people. This training helps volunteers to understand their role as council members, clarifies the length of membership and explains how to recruit new members. This training course starts in November. We are asking for volunteers to do the training and then make a final decision about serving for a fixed term on the council. The steps are recruitment, training and commitment to serve.
Mission Sunday:
Pope Francis is encouraging all the baptised to be more active in spreading the good news that Jesus loves us enough to die for us. Many people in Ireland today do not see any relevance of the faith in their lives. This means we all need to be ready to explain what the faith means to us personally and to lead by good example. God is always on the side of the oppressed.

The focus of this retreat is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It is conducted by Fr John Egan Pallottine.

In pursuing this aim the representatives of Glenroe Community National School Working Group met with the Minister for Education, Joe McHugh earlier this year. The request to the department is to open a Community National School in Glenroe, Co. Limerick, thus offering choice to parents, in Glenroe and surrounding areas, in the type of Primary school their children may attend.

Golden Mass Communion Reflection:
Rejoice We ARE PARISH
We are ~God’s people God’s family
We are the children of Patrick and Bridget
We are inspired by Mary in her Assumption
We are brothers and sisters of Jesus our saviour
We are guided and strengthened by God’s spirit among us
We nurture our little ones
We strengthen our youth
We rejoice with our couples and families
We cherish the vulnerable and aged
We commend our dead to God’s mercy
We are proud of those who wear the green and white
We celebrate with them in victory
We stand with them in defeat
As the Galtee mountains shelter us
So does St Patrick
As the streams nurture us so does St Bridget
As the flowers bloom in the spring
So does Mary our Mother clothe us
We give thanks for the past
with its pain and victory
We relish the present
with its endless possibilities
We have hope for the future
like an unfailing mountain stream
Rejoice we are parish
