WEDDING BELLS

We had three weddings with parish connections recently. Lynda Cotterell from Ballykenna married John Murphy from Graignamanagh in St Aidan’s Church Listerlin on September 1. Aisling Phelan of Tullogher married Gerard Ryan from Tipperary in St Aidan’s Church Tullogher on Saturday, September 2, while Anne Power from Brownstown married Barry O’Riordan from Gorey on Saturday, September 9. All the newly married couples are wished health and happiness as they begin a new life together.

MISSION TALK

We had Sr Nuala Glynn from the Franciscan Missionaries Clancy Strand Limerick speaking at our Masses last weekend where she gave a vivid and sometimes disturbing picture of poverty and war in countries where the Order does some valiant work. She spoke especially of the persecution in war torn Syria and the plight of its people.

Sr Nuala wishes to thank all who so generously contributed to the church Door collection after Mass and said the money collected would be used to good effect.
