In recent days it was brought to our notice that the much appreciated television signal from St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet was not working. Having alerted the necessary people with expertise in these matters it was discovered that a technical problem existed. Thankfully as the problem was internal and not connected to the aerial on the roof the cost of repair would not be as significant. The signal is now fully restored. Such a facility from a local parish church is indeed special and is quite a rare provision in other areas. The church television signal was initially established and financed by the Presentation Sisters primarily to provide access to church services for the Presentation Convent and St. Joseph’s Community Hospital. Private houses over quite a large area of Millstreet and its environs have also been able to receive the signal. It is transmitted on Channel 53 UHF. Those houses with an aerial pointing in the direction of the Church are most likely to receive the best signal. It can only be tuned in when a service is in progress at the Church where the camera which is focused on the main altar is switched on. (S.R.)

Bishop Ray especially commented on the beauty of our Church and its magnificent stained glass windows. When he was presented with one of our local postcards he showed very real interest in getting to know the various areas illustrated. Hopefully when he has more time he will take the fuller tour of Millstreet and become more acquainted with its rich history, culture and, above all, its people. Everyone wished Bishop Ray every success and fulfilment in his new role as Bishop of Kerry.
