our Parish Collectors Co-Ordinated by Maura Marren and our Parish Counters who work away in the background. We are blessed to have so many Choirs in our Parish. A special thanks you to Ray Cotter for Co-Ordinating the Parish and Folk Choir. Also, this year we have the beginnings of the Youth Choir which we hope will appear at our Masses many times in the coming year.
Our Newsletter is Co-Ordinated by Lavina Scanlon, and we appreciate her hard work throughout the year. To our Part Time Sacristan Mary T. Scanlon our thanks for her support and hard work. The Christmas Crib was erected by Martin Scanlon and is evident at the front of the Church with its powerful scene of the Birth of Jesus with the Wise Men and Shepherds. We are always looking for new people to help out in the Parish in the various Ministries. Please contact Fr. Jim for more information and further details. Let us this year look into the crib in our Church and look for hope and peace as we gently journey into a New Year.
The exercise sessions in Carraroe Community Centre will recommence on Thursday, January 11 at 11am. Hope all our members have a peaceful new year.
