PARISH GATHERING

Our Christmas Gathering was a great success and enjoyed by all on Sunday the third in our Parish Hall. Our deceased family members and friends were remembered at Mass. May they rest in peace.

We had plenty of dancing, songs from Owen Gordon, John Jackman, Cindy Campbell, Artie Sludds played the mouth organ and Pat Barry played traditional music on the accordion. We were delighted when Thomas Maguire and Fhiona Ennis made a guest appearance, which was very much appreciated by all. There was also a lot of chat and plenty of reminiscence. Congratulations to Stacey Redmond, who celebrated her 40th Birthday on the night.

We would like to thank Peter Doyle, Daybreak Supermarket Ballymurn, for his generous donation of the Turkey/Ham and the use of his facilities, Ballymurn Youth Club for their generous contribution of monies/spot prizes, Hughie Byrne, The Anvil Bar, John and Breda Redmond, Dockrell’s, Enniscorthy Credit Union and all the people who contributed monies, food and the enormous amount of spot prizes received.

A special thanks to our Community Employment participants for all their work, the catering team who were joined again this year by girls and boys from our Youth Club. These young people are brilliant, hard working with excellent interpersonal skills and willingly took direction from their leaders; they are a credit to their families.

We thank John Doyle from Monageer, who gave his time to join Paddy and Shay on the night. Thanks for the music and to all who entertained us on the night.
