Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1263 from Millstreet.  Fondest Greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the  best on this very changable Tuesday morning.

At all Masses at the weekend our Canon John read out a request from the head of the Unions of Ireland asking that today Tuesday April 28th be deemed as a day of Prayer for all those who were killed  in the course of their work. He said it was the first time that this request was ever made.

The Sacrament of Confirmation will be conferred on 80 children of Millstreet Parish on tomorrow Wednesday, Ceremony starting at 3.30 and all are welcome to attend.

Times of Eucharistic adoration for Wednesday have been slightly altered as a result. It will be held from 10.30 am to 2.30 pm and again from6.30 to 10.30pm.

Confessions every Saturday from 12,30 to 1pm.

The weather is really living up to what we called Garabheen na g’Uuach( Cuchoo) when we were young. It referred to the last weeks of April and the first two weeks of May when the climate went willy nilly and unpredictable. It used to fill those who had hens down hatching with dread in case the heavy hailstones pelting off the galvenised roofs would kill the birds in their shells. But that was fado fado.

The sudden slump in temperatures  last week sent us all scurrying for the warm clothes once again.

Even family pets were seen to be distressed by the sudden cold snap. And should get special attention at this time.

But cold did not deter all those who took part in the MonsterMac which was centred at our Country Park on Saturday. Look up our website for the results.
