CORPUS CHRISTI

This annual procession will take place after 11 o’clock mass in Clondrohid on Sunday, June 11. The procession will leave the church and proceed to the car park at the Community Hall where prayers and hymns will be recited, and return to the church for exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. It is hoped that all those who received their First Holy Communion recently will take part. Everyone welcome to take part in this important parish celebration.

PARISH CONFIRMATIONS

The children of fifth and sixth class from the three schools in the parish received their confirmation last Tuesday. The ceremonies were held in Clondrohid and Carriganima churches. A very important day in the lives of these young people, we wish them well.

MARATHON FUNDRAISER

Neilus Murphy, brother of the late Shane Murphy is running the Cork City Marathon on June 4, to raise money to save hearts and lives. About 10,000 people die from cardiovascular disease in Ireland every year. That’s 27 people dying here every day. We need your help to support, help, advice, inform all those who avail of the IHF services.

Shane’s untimely death occurred on December 10, 2012, while playing a football match with Coláiste Ghobnatan, Baile Mhurine. Neilus was at the match when the tragedy occurred and its a moment that will never leave him.

Your support will be greatly appreciated in the Tavern, Clondrohid on Sunday, June 4, at 8 p.m. Waxathon, Shave or Dye, raffle and an auction not to be missed on the night. Sponsorship cards available at Kelleher Oils and Healy’s Spar Clondrohid.
