Holy Water

We have purchased a new Holy Water Barrel. It has a tap to make it easy to fill your water bottles. It is placed in the side porch (Church Lane Side). You can get to it from the main body of the Church anytime the Church is open. Please bring your own bottle. Holy Water renews the grace of our Baptism.

Introducing the New Missal – To assist our preparation for changes in some of the words that we pray at Mass from September next, please see the question and answer below. In addition, you may wish to view the brief video and further explanations which are now available on www.catholicbishops.ie. Related topics on the new edition of the Roman Missal are also on www.liturgy-ireland.ie.

Is the Mass changing?

The structure of the Mass is not changing. The order and the actions of the Mass remain unchanged. The readings at Mass are not changed. However, with the introduction of the new edition of the Roman Missal throughout the English-speaking world, we will all notice a change in how the Mass sounds. The translations of a number of our prayer texts from the original Latin have changed – sometimes by a particular word or in the word order. Prayers that we have become used to reciting by memory now have to be relearned. Prayers that we are used to hearing the priest say will sound different to us.

The style of language we will hear and pray may seem more formal to us and perhaps, in parts, more complex. But over time, with the praying of these texts, the sound of the Mass will again become familiar to us.

What is the Roman Missal?

The term ‘Missal’ is used to refer to the book that contains all the prayers and instructions for the celebration of the Mass. The Missal is first written in Latin and this Latin text is then translated into the particular language of the people. In this way, while the Mass may be celebrated in many languages across the Roman Catholic world, it is the same core Latin text that is being prayed by the Church. We have been using our current Missal since St Patrick’s Day 1975. It is sometimes referred to as the Missal of Pope Paul VI. Now we have a new edition of that Missal.

Important upcoming dates

Famine 1848 Walk

Rev Ian Cruickshank, Rector of Kilcooley and Crohane, will lead this year's Famine 1848 Walk. The Walk which takes place on Saturday, 30 July at 3pm commemorates all those who died during the Great Famine and the 1848 Rising which took place in Ballingarry in the middle of the Famine. The rebel leaders, several of them from the Protestant tradition, were transported to Van Diemen's Land. The Walk will begin at the National Flag Monument in The Commons and proceed to the Famine Warhouse at Farranrory Upper. The distance of 1 1/2 miles will be covered at an easy pace. Refreshments will be served at the end of the Walk. The Walk takes place, rain or shine, on the last Saturday in July, the day of the Rising.

Coolquill A.C.

Last Saturday evening 9^th July, Coolquill hosted the County Junior and Masters Road Championships, in what turned out to be perfect conditions. We had a number of men competing in the masters 6k event. Our first man home was Dermot Logue with a great effort in 9^th place. Next we had Donal Horgan in 19^th, followed by Tadhg Vaughan in 22^nd, Andrew Galloway in 27^th & Jim McDonnell in 35^th. These lads were competing on the O/35 & upwards team that finished in fifth place in a hotly contested event. Also in this race, the O/50 & upwards titles were up for grabs. Leading home this team was Leslie Smyth & in doing so, won the O/55 individual gold with a great running. We had a terrific performance from Martin Ivors, who came through to take individual bronze O/55 & with strong running from Jack Alexander, who put in another great effort, the three lads won the team silver medals. Eddie Cahalan, who is improving with each run, came away with the silver in the O/60.

Many thanks to the Presentation Secondary School for allowing the use of their facilities & to the ladies for the tea afterwards. On Sunday, the Tipperary leg of the Munster Hill running championships was staged in Kilcommon, where Ross Alexander put in a sterling performance to come second over the line.
