ANNUAL MASS OF REMEMBRANCE
During the month of November, we have traditionally celebrated Mass for parishioners who had passed away during the previous 12 months but due to Covid19 restrictions we were unable to have these Masses in 2020. However, we have now decided to proceed with this Mass on next Saturday 23rd January at 6.30p.m. During this Mass we will remember those whose funerals took place in Ballydaly, Cullen & Millstreet between November 2019 and December 2020. The Mass will be live-streamed on churchservices.tv/millstreet. This will be a Parish commemoration for our dead and I hope you will join us for this special Mass.

DIOCESAN MISSION
The Diocese of Kerry will hold a Diocesan Mission between Sunday 24th and Friday 29th January and like the traditional Parish Mission, all are welcome to participate.
The theme of the Mission is “Be Christ’s Joy” and it offers an opportunity for people to gather in reflection and in prayer, online and in the home.
We invite you to register on the Diocese of Kerry website (www.dioceseofkerry.ie). On registration you will get an email each morning of the Mission offering links to all the daily Mission activities.
A limited number of Mission booklets are available at the back of
Millstreet Church which gives the schedule for each day. If you need assistance in registering please contact our Parish office.
THOUGHT FOR THIS WEEK
Look to the future because that is where we will live our life.
