Glenmore Community Centre Race Night
Due to circumstances that were beyond our control, our HorseRace Night on the big screen will now take place on Friday, 31st July. Everyone is welcome to join the fun and games 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 next Friday, 24th July at 7.30pm

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.

The collection taken up for the cemetery Mass will be used to begin the development of the news section of the cemetery

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 twoparish from the 1st August, and to cater for all our churches, there will be changes to Mass times. The diocesan recommendation is an hour and a half between the start of Masses, to allow for matters arising after each Mass and to allow for safe transit between churches, especially in winter.

From the 1st of August, the new Mass schedule for Glenmore & Rosbercon will be as follows:
Saturday’s
Glenmore 6pm
Tullogher, 1st Saturday of each month at 7.30pm. All other 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.

Cemetery Rosaries
Thanks to allwho attended the cemetery rosaries in our parish. There was a decent tun out to remember our departed in the older cemeteries. Sincere thanks to the committee for all their effort in maintaining the cemeteries.

Parish WhatsApp Community
We have set up a new WhatsApp group that will share parish information relevant to both Glenmore & Rosbercon. The group is called: The Two Parishes. Scan the link below in WhatsApp 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 ofFr. Dan next Friday 24th July. The celebration will begin with Mass in Rosbercon Church at 7pm followed by refreshments in the Rosbercon Parish Hall
afterwards. All are welcome (Note, this event clashes with our annual cemetery Mass in Glenmore).
