Cemetery Extension

The Rector blessed the new extension to St. Patrick’s Cemetery on 12th November. The mortuary chapels will be renovated by the Co. Council 2009

St. Mary's Parochial Hall

The Select Vestry has committed itself to re-roofing and restoring our parish hall in the short-time rather than long-term. Our fundraising in the future will go towards getting this vital premises to our parish life into a state that will facilitate bringing life to our parish. It’s going to cost a lot, but with grants and our efforts we can do it.

Our Debt

The response to our appeal to clear the debt have been tremendous.
Thank-you to all of you have committed yourselves to helping do this so far. The shrapnel fund (filling a jam jar with your loose change) has already yielded over €500.
The balance now stands at just under €49,000 and we are close to having sufficient monies pledged to clear the debt in the proposed time.

It is important that if you have pledged to either take out a standing order or give a sum of money that you actually do so.

Thank-you!

Rural Deanery Visitations

The Rev Isobel Jackson, Rural Dean, visited us 4th November. She inspected the registers and signed them, counted and verified that all the Church Plate was where it should be, did a survey of buildings and noted repairs, renovations etc since her last visit and, at the end, expressed her satisfaction that all is in order.

Sunday School

We now have some more volunteers and, to begin Sunday School , we just need to wait for their Garda vetting to be complete. A few more volunteers would guarantee the proper and continuous running of what I believe to be an integral part of parish life. The teaching and nurturing of our children in the faith of the Church should be a three-way partnership of home, Church and school

Memorial Service

A memorial Service will be held in Holy Trinity Church, Fethard, on
Sunday, 30th November at 2.30pm. for the late Wyndham Hughes.

Table Quiz

Our table quiz was very successful with 15 tables. We were extraordinarily well supported by member of the local community. We raised €710. There appears to be
very good reaction to the decision of the Select Vestry to repair and renovate St. Mary’s Parochial Hall. Thank-you to those of you who supported this parish fundraiser.

400th Anniversary of the Charter of James I

On 14th November, Clonmel celebrated the 400th anniversary of the granting of the Charter of James I. After assembling at the Main Guard, the Mayor, Corporation and invited guests walked to the town hall where the Mayor was greeted with a trumpet fanfare. A special meeting of the Corporation followed and, then, Siamsa Cois Siuire entertained the assembly with a half-hour rendition of music and words from the time of James 1. Refreshments were served.
