GOODBYE TO FR. O HALLORAN
We were all very saddened at the weekend when our Parish Priest Fr. Richard O Halloran informed us that he is being relocated to the parish of Tramore. Although he has been with us for the past seven years we hoped that he might be here for another few years but that was not meant to be. Fr. Richard has given 100% dedication and commitment to our parish since he arrived. His dedication really shone through during Covid times when he ensured the parish could still be together through prayer. Through the Facebook page we shared mass, the Angelus, prayer and reflection. There is no doubt that Fr. Richard has left a lasting impression on our parish and I know that he has been a wonderful, caring and helpful friend to Fr. Mick and he shall miss him very much. The only comfort we take is that he hasn’t moved too far away and so we will hopefully meet him from time to time. We wish him the very best in his new position, our loss is most definitely Tramore’s gain as they welcome a loyal, prayerful, kind man. So take care of him as he is very special to us.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Life is all about balance
You don’t always need to be
Getting stuff done.
Sometimes it’s perfectly ok
And absolutely necessary
To shut down, kick back
And do nothing.
