Reflection

Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in an absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your Imagination, will effect everything.

Some images from the very spiritual and moving evening we shared with our local community and neighbours at Ettagh Graveyard in Coolderry last Monday evening. Thank you to Fr Tom Hannon who celebrated a very special Mass and to Mr Tony Watkins who represented St Mary's Church of Ireland Parish Shinrone. We  gratefully acknowledge the huge contributions made by so many to make the occasion so special; Chairperson of Ettagh Graveyard Friends, Mr James Dooley,  all those who regularly maintain Ettagh and prepared it for the Mass, Liturgy Group, Choir and Musicians,  Servers, Readers, Eucharistic Ministers, Car Parking attendants, Sound Technician,  farmer who gave the field for parking, parishioner who loaned and erected Gazebo over Altar and our local family who provided such welcome refreshments afterwards. It was rewarding to see so many in attendance. This evening is evidence of the total co operation of many people who make such occasions possible. Mile Buíochas. Kilcolman Pastoral Council
