Wonderfully Successful St. Brigid’s Cross Project in Library

A huge thank you to everyone who responded to our call for rushes to make St. Brigid’s Crosses at Millstreet Library.  Special thanks to Margaret, Mary, Catherine & her two sons Daniel and Conor, Liz, and Liam for their contributions.  We had a fantastic morning (Fri. 31st Jan. 2025) where lots of beautiful crosses were made, both for personal use and for the church.  It was wonderful to see the community spirit in full force.  Thanks again to everyone who came along and contributed. Happy St Brigid’s Day.  Tap on the images to enlarge.   (S.R.)

We thank Denis Healy of Carrigtwohill for the following Tribute to his late brother, Brother Dan Healy (Brother Bonaventure).  The late Brother Dan Healy has a nephew and grandnephew living in Millstreet.

Remembering Brother Dan Healy    1945 – 2024

He embraced an Ecological Christianity

 Brother Dan took the name Bonaventure for his final profession.

 Chapter from Darwin Divinity and the Dance of the Cosmos.

(With kind permission of the author Bruce Sanguin Minister of Canadian Memorial Church and Centre for Peace in Vancouver.)

 Human Ones as Harvesters of Grace

Mark 4:26-28

Jesus says that the Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the ground, goes to bed, and wakes up to discover that the seed has sprouted, but he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full head.

But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes out with the sickle, because the harvest is ripe”. Jesus would have received top marks in any biology class today. In this parable, he describes what scientists call self-organisation. We have finally confirmed what farmers have known for 10,000 years; the planet knows what she’s doing, and so does a seed. Throw them together, add time, and presto, you’ve got wheat. In an emergent universe, there are no external forces causing an Organism to do its thing; the latent tendency of the wheat plant exists within the seed. The farmer in the parable of the Kingdom ‘does not know’ how this happens, and neither to our scientists. All the fancy names might give us some sense of control, but they don’t lessen the mystery.

St. Francis Xavier Feast Day on 3rd Dec. 2024

St. Francis Xavier Feast Day on 3rd Dec. 2024 is a very special Feast Day to the people of Goa in India.   We extend very best wishes on the important Feast Day to the many people from Goa who are presently resident in Millstreet and in the surrounding areas who especially participated in Sunday’s Mass (with full Choir and Organists) celebrated by Canon John Fitzgerald, P.P..   Tap on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)

Some of the large number of gentlemen from Goa who attended this Sunday’s Mass.

Goa (Agenzia Fides) – “The motivation is faith. The faithful come here to pray and touch the remains of Saint Francis Xavier, not out of curiosity or for a tourist visit,” said Father Fermino Savio D’Souza, parish priest of the parish of Our Lady of Miracles in Goa, who is particularly involved in youth ministry, to Fides. On November 21, the 18th Exhibition of the Relics of Saint Francis Xavier (1506-1552) was inaugurated in the old town of Goa. Such an exhibition takes place every ten years and brings thousands of pilgrims to the city where the remains of the Jesuit missionary are kept. From the historic Basilica of Bom Jesus, where the relic is usually kept in a silver casket, the saint’s remains were brought in a reliquary to the Cathedral of Goa, where it will be available for veneration by the faithful until January 5. The feast of St. Francis Xavier on December 3 is one of the central moments of the exhibition: Masses are celebrated in different languages throughout the day and the faithful crowd the church from the early hours of the morning. “There is a deep devotion to the saint,” says Fr. D’Souza, “who is considered the protector of our country. The faithful come to the saint to entrust their sufferings, travails and joys to him, they come to ask for his intercession. There is a deep popular piety that is experienced not only during this special period of the exhibition but also in ordinary time. It is the faith of the little ones, the simple ones, that is very precious.” “Many pilgrims come from the communities of Goa, but also from other parts of India,” the priest reports, “especially from southern areas such as the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where there is a strong Catholic presence.” “Goa,” he continues, “is also a popular destination for young people: it is a place of parties, music and dance. Because of its countless beaches, it is also popular with European tourists. Tourism has always been the backbone of the local economy: Goa is chosen as a meeting place by young people from all over the world, not just Indians,” the priest continues. “So it is exciting and impressive to see how young people are also getting involved in this spiritual time, which is marked by prayer and testimony of faith: young people formed a human chain to protect the transfer of the relics from the basilica to the cathedral. And when you go to church, you see many young people in prayer and reflection. I would say that this is a time of witness and also of evangelization for the Catholic community in India,” concludes the parish priest. The saint’s relics will be on display in the cathedral for 45 days. On Sunday, January 5, 2025, they will be returned to the basilica in a solemn procession, after which a mass will be held to bid them farewell. The event coincides with the beginning of the Holy Year 2025, which is why the theme chosen for the exhibition is “We are messengers of the Good News” to highlight “the responsibility of every Christian in spreading the message of love, hope and peace in the world.” After the death of Saint Francis Xavier on December 3, 1552 on the island of Shangchuan off the Chinese coast, his body was initially buried there in a simple grave. In February 1553, it was exhumed and transferred to Malacca, where it remained for several months in the Church of St. Paul. In December 1553, it was decided to transfer the body to Goa in India, which was then an important center for Jesuit missions. After arriving in Goa in early 1554, the body was kept in the Basilica of Bom Jesus, where it remained intact and showed no signs of decomposition even after years. It was then publicly venerated for the first time in Goa from 16 to 18 March 1554. One of the most famous relics, his right arm, with which he baptized many people, is kept separately in the Jesuit church in Rome, the Roman “Chiesa del Gesù”. (PA) (Agenzia Fides, 2/12/2024)

Irish Pilgrimage Trust Lourdes Easter 2025

Ally Moynihan and Evie O’Leary

Two 5th year students from Millstreet Community School will be participating
in the Irish Pilgrimage Trust young people’s pilgrimage to Lourdes during their
Easter holidays 2025. Ally Moynihan and Evie O’Leary will be acting as student
helpers and travelling to Lourdes with Group 126. Millstreet students have
been travelling with this group since 2011.
As was the case in the past, the aim is to cover accommodation and travel
costs for the two students (€750/person) with all extra funds being passed
onto Group 126. Each group is meant to raise the funds to cover the costs of
all the young people with special needs who travel with them to Lourdes.
The girls are now beginning their fundraising but the main events will be held
in the new year. A table quiz in Corkery’s Bar, Millstreet on Friday 31st January
2025 and a ‘pre-Lent’ bake sale in Millstreet Parish Centre after Masses over
the weekend of 1st and 2nd of March.
Your support for these fundraising efforts would be greatly appreciated.(We thank John Magee, Chaplain MCS for this feature.  Tap on the image to enlarge.)
