Eily’s Report – 8th April

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

The count down is on for all our young people who are due to be confirmed  on tomorrow Wednesday,  April 9th and our Bishop Ray Browne will be a very busy man to get through them all. 88 in our own church representing Millstreet, Cloghoula and Cullen starting at 11 am and at 3 pm almost 40 in Derrinagree taking in Dromagh. Confirmation was always regarded as a very big step compared to First Holy Communion. A time when they received the Holy Ghost to fill them with enlightenment for the future. A time to take a pledge  a promise to God to stay away from certain things. It used to be intoxicating drink, but as I said last week now its drink, drugs and gambling. We wish them all the best of luck and God’s Blessing on their big day and hope that they and their families will enjoy their family gatherings afterwards.

Irish Red Cross – Looking for Volunteers to give Therapeutic Hand Care

Irish Red Cross looking for volunteers to give

 Therapeutic Hand Care  in the care facilities of Millstreet area.

 

The Irish Red Cross community support team is well established in Millstreet/ Kanturk Community Hospitals. We would like new members to join our team.

 

Full training will be given, and one becomes a member of Irish Red Cross.

Safeguarding and garda vetting will be provided.

 

No past experience is needed, and volunteers will be trained to give a thorough and safe therapeutic hand care and massage to residents in the local hospitals and other venues in our locality.  Provision of the service can help promote a sense of wellbeing for clients and a regular friendly visit from a local community volunteer.

 

The relaxing effects of the massage is very beneficial, especially for those with painful or stiff joints, it can improve flexibility and suppleness, boost morale of patient and it’s a means of communication through touch and spending time with the person is the most valuable aspect of the service.

 

We also get involved with other events locally or regionally.

If you are interested in finding out more about this established service in our area,

please contact

Margaret Crean on   087 2212864 .
