Fr. Breen farewell
A great night was held in
the Community Centre on Saturday 11th to show our thanks and
appreciation for the ministry that Fr. Breen has dedicated to the people of
Ballingarry for the years he has served as curate & parish priest. A great crowd turned out to wish Fr.
Breen all the best and a presentation of a Waterford Crystal Lamp & cheque was presented to him by Pat Hogan & Kitty Norton. The Community Centre Committee provide an array of food and the entertainment was provided
by Danny Webster. Once again we
would like to thank Fr. Breen for his great work in the parish for the last
number of years and wish him good health and happiness in his new parish in Ballylanders.

Eucharistic Congress 2012
Sunday June 24th is the feast of Corpus Christi. As part of the lead up to the Eucharistic
Congress there is a special celebration in the Cathedral in Thurles @ 7p.m. on
Sunday June 24th. Each Parish is asked to nominate someone to
receive the
Eucharistic Congress Candle. This candle will be a focus point in
the preparation programme for the Congress.
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 ÔMissalÕ 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 PatrickÕs Day 1975.
It is sometimes referred to as the Missal of Pope Paul VI. Now we have a new edition
of that Missal.

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
