Methodist Update – May 2012

Meetings continue on Sunday evening at 7pm in the Canon O’Donovan Centre on Clara Road.  On Sunday 6th May, being the first Sunday of the month, we will share together in Holy Communion as well as our normal ‘feast’ of worship, prayer and Bible study.  During this Easter season we continue to focus on the resurrection appearances of our Lord and this Sunday we focus in on the last few words of Matthew’s Gospel where Christ calls us to partner with him in sharing his good news with all the world.  Hope you can join us.  For further information about any of our meetings, contact Laurence Graham on 064 6631613 or <email>

Con O’Connor, Ontario, Canada

A big hello to Con O’Connor, a loyal reader of millstreet.ie from London, Ontario, Canada. Con was born in Millstreet. His parents were James O’Connor and Mary O’Sullivan. He was related to Joan and Con Duggan and still has cousins there in Balydaly and on the Millstreet road. Con came to Canada in 1961, married Nancy and has had a very succesful career as a teacher at a College  in Sarnia after years in education in Thunder Bay Ontario, before retirement.

They last visited in 2003 and really enjoyed visiting many places including the church and school where Con attended. He is very pleased that he has found this website and he enjoys hearing about the news and happenings and would like to come back to Ireland again but has some health issues now. We have relatives in other areas also such as Cork City, Bantry and the Dublin area.
