Fundraising Horse Night
It’s coming close now, the Horse Race Night on the Big Screen. The event takes place on
Friday, 17th July in Glenmore Community Hall. Promoters are currently going around the parish seeking support. Buying a horse is €20 and you get three for €50. You can also sponsor a race for €200. This is a fundraiser exclusively for the Glenmore Community Hall Roof Repair, and your support is greatly appreciated.
Cemetery Mass
The Cemetery Mass will take place on Friday, 24th July at 7.30pm
Thanks to all who aretidying 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.
Mass Cards
Signed Mass cards for the living and deceased are available inthe sacristy. Cost is €10 and each cardwith my name is a guarantee of a mass offered. Be sure to leave the name if the person you wish the Mass to be offeredfor.

Mass TimeChanges
As I’ve mentioned before, in addition to being PP of Glenmore, from August 1st, I will also become PP of Rosbercon (I will continue to reside in Glenmore). This means I will have three additional churches and three extra Masses. This should not be a problem with some careful planning, but it will mean changes to Mass times in both parishes.
So, from the first weekend in August (1st & 2nd), Masses in Glenmore will be: Saturday’s, 6 pm and Sundays at 11.30 am. Rosbercon Masses will be announced this weekend.
Anniversaries
These are shared for weekend Masses. If families want anindividual Mass, for just their intention we offer weekday Masses.
Please check the anniversary list carefully and let me know ifyou come across any errors in names or times (I do makes mistakes from time to
time).
Parish WhatsApp Community
We are setting up a new WhatApp group that will shareinformation relevant to both Glenmore & Rosbercon. The group will be called: The TwoParishes. This will be the first of manyinitiatives aimed at sharing information into the future.
The Debate Begins
On Wednesday, 30th September, Bishop Gerard Nash will meet with the southern deanery parishes regarding the future of the Church in Ossory. Anyone interested should note the date and a venue will be announced nearer the time.
HouseBlessings
I’m available for house blessings at a time that suits both families and myself. It’s a nice tradition to continue. If you’ve recently moved into a new house and would like a blessing, then get in touch.
Did You Know
Your weekly contribution goes directly to the parish finances and not the priest. This money is used to pay for the light and heat, the insurance and sanctuary expenses, as well as paying our dues to the diocese.
The priest’s contribution is completely separate and taken up 6 times in the year. It’s the green envelope in your contribution box you received at the beginning of the year.
Those who pay yearly and don’t use the envelopes are asked to indicate if their donation is for parish, priest or both.
Thanks too all our supporters and with rising costs, many not attending church or contributing, your generosity is more crucial than ever.

Glenmore Pantomime Society has relaunched as The GlenmorePanto. Our newly elected committee are busy planning for and looking forward to this year's production. For more details we invite you to follow us on Facebook.com: The Glenmore Panto or Instagram @theglenmorepanto.
