Glenmore Community Centre Race Night
Everyone is welcome to join the fun and games next Friday, 17th July in Glenmore Community Hall. Let’s make it a night to remember in the parish.
Doors open at 8pm and first race is at 8.30pm.
Tea and coffee will be available, but you are welcome to bring your own refreshments!
Cemetery Mass
The Cemetery Mass will take place on Friday, 24th July at 7.30pm
Thanks to all who are tidying their graves
Please...When tidying your grave, take home any dead wreaths, and other items no longer used and dispose of them properly. We don’t have dumping facilities here.
Baptisms
From August onwards, baptisms will be on Saturday’s only at 2pm. This revised schedule takes into account that, from August, I will be PP of two parishes, Glenmore and Rosbercon. If baptisms are booked in Rosbercon or Glenmore on a particular Saturday, and families want that date, they are welcome to join with the other parish for the baptism.
St. Moling’s Well
Sunday, 23rd August: St Moling’s Well. Mass at 2.00pm
Mass Cards
Signed Mass cards for the living and deceased are available in the sacristy. Cost is €10 and be sure to leave the name of the person you wish the Mass to be offered for.
Mass Time Changes
As I take on the pastoral and administrative care of two parishes from the 1st August, and to cater for four churches, therewill be changes to Mass times.
The diocesan recommendation is an hour and a half betweenMasses, to allow for matters arising after each Mass and to allow for safe
transit between churches, especially in winter (Gone are the days of the old
parish priest, dashing between parishes at break-neck speed to reach a church
because they have always had a 10 o’clock mass).
So, from the 1st of August, the new Mass schedulefor Glenmore & Rosbercon will be as follows:
Saturday’s
Glenmore 6pm
Tullogher, 1stSaturday of each month at 7.30pm. Allother Saturdays of the month, Mass will be in Listerlin at 7.30pm
Sunday’s
Rosbercon 10am
Glenmore 11.30am
The above schedule takes into account that I am on my own in two parishes.
Thanks to those who have expressed solidarity with my situation. I don’t want / like change either, but these are the times we live in.
Please do continue to support your parish and your church.
Cemetery Rosaries
About 30 people showed up each night to our first two nightslast week. We have two more rosary & blessing of graves:
Next Monday, 13th July, Ballygurrim, Jamestown, and Thursday,16th July, Kilmakevoge, Graiguenakill.
All Rosaries start at 7.30pm
Golden Club
The club meets next Tuesday at 10.30am.
Parish WhatsApp Community
We have set up a new WhatsApp group that will share information relevant to both Glenmore & Rosbercon. The group is called: The Two Parishes. Scan the link on the opening page of our website to join.
Newsletter Changing
From August onwards, the parish newsletter will become ajoint newsletter shared between both Glenmore & Rosbercon. It will still
keep its handy, environmentally friendly one-sided format of Mass readings on the cover & information at the back. Information will be for both parishes. This inevitably means space will be very limited so articles will be short. We can accommodate a greater amount of information on the online edition. Visit www.glenmoreparish.ie and follow the newsletter link.
Fr. Dan Cavanagh’s Retirement
You are warmly invited to a celebration of the retirement of Fr. Dan on Friday 24th July. The celebration will begin with Mass in Rosbercon Church at 7pm followed by refreshments in the Parish Hall afterwards. All are welcome (Note, this event clashes with our annual cemetery Mass in Glenmore).
Hot tip for the race night on Friday: ‘The Second Collection!’
Wisdom: Life is full of irony; it takes sadness to know whathappiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.
