Lá Fhéile Bríde – St. Brigid’s Day on Sunday 1st February 2015

To celebrate St. Brigid's Day 2015 Breeda Kelleher (pictured here on left today at Millstreet Library with Breda and with Denis J.Kelleher) arranged to make some 100 miniature St. Brigid Crosses for distribution at Mass. Breeda has been doing this wonderfully kind gesture for many years as did the late Teresa Tangney with a group of voluntary Helpers. Millstreet Church has not just a very impressive large statue of the Saint but also an exquisite stained glass window. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)

Lourdes Table Quiz – Thank you!

The Table Quiz that took place on Friday 30th January in the Wallis Arms was a great success.  The purpose of the evening was to raise money to help cover the travel and accommodation costs of six 5th year students who are going to Lourdes at Easter as helpers with the IHCPT – The Irish Pilgrimage Trust (€650/head).  Thirty two teams took part in the quiz and along with the raffle a total of €1894 was raised, which is fantastic.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the event and helped in any way to make the quiz a success.  Thanks especially to the Wallis Arms for providing the back room free of charge and to John Tarrant for devising excellent questions once again.
