The Mustard Seed:  The members of The Mustard Seed, under the patronage of The Immaculate Heart House of Prayer, Doon, Co. Limerick, are undertaking the work of helping Father Dariusz Paszyński in Russia.  Fr Dariusz Paszyński, C.S.s.R., is a Polish Redemptiorist working in Russia, Kazakhstan, Belorussia, Ukraine.

For the past eighteen years they have collaborated with Fr Dariusz and assisted him by fundraising for the first Catholic Church in Orsk, Russia.  This was built and consecrated on 25th June 2006.  It is dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help.  Since 2008 they are helping to raise funds to complete the first Catholic Church dedicated to Pope John Paul II in the city of Togliatti, Russia.  The site was blessed and consecrated in May 2010.  Work is ongoing there presently on the interior of the church building.  There will be a churchgate collection this weekend, 20th and 21st August towards this.  All help would be greatly appreciated.

Leaving Cert Results:  Congratulations to all the boys and girls from the Parish who received their Leaving Cert Results last Wednesday.  We congratulate them on their achievement and wish them all well in their future.  To those who were disappointed  –  don’t lose heart.  Life is not just all about points.  You have gifts and talents, that will enable you to achieve your goal in life.

Golden Jubilee:  Congratulations to Michael and Bridie Hickey, Kilmacomma who celebrated the Golden Jubilee of their wedding recently.  We wish them many more years of health and happiness.

Parish Pilgrimage to Lourdes:  Our Parish Pilgrimage was a great success.  We were blessed with good weather.  All were relaxed and enriched by our few days in Lourdes.  Much credit for the success of our Pilgrimage is due to the hard work and dedication of our Lourdes committee  –  Jim Connolly, Seamus McHale and Edel Keane.  We thank them for their care, meticulous planning, commitment and dedication.  This year we had four Priests with us on the Pilgrimage, Fr Pat Hayes, Fr Bobby Power, Fr Shane O’Neill and Fr Billy Meehan.  Two other groups from the Diocese were also in Lourdes at the same time  –  St Paul’s, Waterford, led by Fr Pat Fitzgerald and another group from Rathgormack/Innishannon led by Fr Bernard Hughes.  The highlight of the Pilgrimage was our Mass at the Grotto, at which Fr Pat Hayes was the main celebrant.

Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly, That my life may only be a radiance of Yours.
Shine through me, and be so in me
That every soul I come in contact with
May feel Your presence in my soul.
Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus!
Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as You shine, So to shine as to be a light to others;
The light, O Jesus will be all from You; none of it will be mine; It will be you, shining on others through me.
Let me thus praise You the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
Let me preach You without preaching, not by words but by my example,
By the catching force of the sympathetic
influence of what I do,
The evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You. Amen

Church Organ:  Over the past three years various necessary repairs were carried out on our Church Organ.  The Organ is one of the finest of its kind in Europe.  Repairs carried out to date—cleaning and restoration of pipes, re-ivorising keyboard, repair to foot pedal and new motor for bellows.  The final phase is the repair of the bellows.  It had become porous with age and has to be repaired and re-leathered.  This work is in progress at present.  It is important to keep our Organ in good repair and fit for purpose, as we have the best Choir in the Diocese.  A Choir is essential for good liturgical celebration, so it is important that they be resourced and encouraged.  The cost of repairing the bellows will be approximately €8000.  If anyone would like to make a donation towards this project it would be greatly appreciated. 

Donation and Fundraising:  Thanks to the Senior Choir who made a donation of €1000 towards repair of Church Organ.  This was as a result of table quizzes held. 

Statue of Our Lady:  You may have noticed a beautiful statue of Our Lady on the plinth on the High Altar in the Sanctuary.  This was a gift to the Parish by a Parishioner.  It will be used for our May Procession and Crowning of Our Lady celebrations.  We thank the donor and pray that many graces and blessings will be bestowed on them for their generosity.

Processional Cross:  You may have noticed a new Processional Cross on the Sanctuary.  It is situated behind the Chair, and was purchased in Lourdes.  It is a replica of the Crozier used by Pope Saint John Paul.

Blessing of School Bags:  There will be a blessing of school bags at the weekend Parish Masses on the 10th and 11th September.

Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help:  This year was the centenary of this famous icon coming to Ireland, and it is in the possession of the Redemptorists in Limerick.  This year, the Icon was taken to all Cathedrals in Ireland as well as Knock.  The Redemptorists have kindly agreed to bring this icon to St Mary’s.  This will occur in October, when we will have a triduum of Prayer and devotions.  The date has not been finally arranged.  Watch this space for further details.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta:  Today, Mother Teresa of Calcutta is being made a Saint.  We pray that her spirituality and outreach will continue and make society more open and caring to the marginalised.  Pope Francis will declare Blessed Teresa of Calcutta a Saint in St Peter’s Square at the Vatican during the canonisation Mass at 9.30am on Sunday and will be live on EWTN. (Eternal Word Television Network).

Clonmel and District Wheelchair Collection: The Clonmel and District Wheelchair Society will be doing their annual door to door collection this month of September.  Please give generously.

PRAYER FOR GRANDPARENTS
Lord Jesus, you were born of the Virgin Mary,
the daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne. Look with love on grandparents the world over. Protect them! They are a source of enrichment for families, for the Church and for all of society. Support them! As they grow older, may they continue to be for their families
strong pillars of Gospel faith, guardian of noble
domestic ideals, living treasuries of sound religious traditions. Make them teachers of wisdom and
courage, that they may pass on to future generations the fruits of their mature human and spiritual
experience. Lord Jesus, help families and society
to value the presence and roles of grandparents. May they never be ignored or excluded, but always
encounter respect and love. Help them to live
serenely and to feel welcomed in all the years of life which you give them. Mary, Mother of all the living, keep grandparents constantly in your care,
accompany them on their earthly pilgrimage, and by your prayers, grant that all families may one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland, where you await all humanity for the great embrace of live without end. Amen!

Altar Servers
One of the traditional ministries in the church is that of Altar Servers. They serve God at the altar in a unique way, adding to the reverence of the liturgy.
Last year we began to recruit and train new servers to much acclaim. All the servers were a great credit to their families and themselves. Now, after the summer break, they will be returning along with many new servers who have come forward to be part of this ministry in our parish. We have contacted our schools, however, if any child from third to sixth class wishes to join, please contact their teacher or the parish office.
We look forward to welcoming back our current and new servers in the coming weeks.
Our commitment to safeguarding remains a priority in our parish, and we adhere to the highest standards across all our ministries.
