CHURCH NEWS

Parishioners are slowly becoming accustomed to the absence of Sunday mass in the local church, but these are strange times and all must adapt to the situation in which Coronavirus imposes on us. Increased numbers are tuning in to Saturday evening mass on line on the Templeglantine, Tournafulla, Mountcollins Facebook page with Fr Denis as celebrant.

SCHOOL GROUNDS

Major works took place on a section of the school grounds, on the eastern side of the building, during last week. Some evergreen trees which were in poor condition and others which were a hazard were removed. The area had become overgrown and unsightly. The trees had been planted there about fifty years ago and some had fallen in storms in recent years.

ROADSIDE BLOOM

It is a heart-warming sight as one travels along the road through the village area to see the lines of daffodils in full glorious bloom on the roadside. It helps to raise the spirits in these gloomy times. This is the very pleasing result of the Tidy Towns committee work over recent years.
