School Board of Management –
Our Board of the last four years has now completed their term of office.
Our thanks goes to the Rev Arthur Carter, Philip Quigley, Daphne Bain, Vivienne Levie, Roy Johnston and our two teachers, Ms Wallace & Mrs Brennan for their diligence and good management of our school.
At their recent meeting, the parents elected Daphne Bain & Harry Everard to represent them on the new Board. The Rev Arthur Carter has decided not to continue as Bishop's nominee on the new Board and Canon George Cliffe has agreed to take up that position.
Our special thanks goes to the Rev Arthur who with his wide experience of matters educational and his wisdom provided an valuable contribution to discussions on the many matters that confront school boards today. Ken Harris has agreed to represent the wider community & the parish, in particular. The new board will become operational on 1st December 2011.

Fás –
On 31st December 2011, Fás as we know it will cease to exist and a new entity called Solus will be put in place.
Our Fás participants will continue to be with us under the new arrangement, but it will be more focused on those things FáSs was supposed to be about.
As preparations are put in place for this change, those who have been on such schemes for a lot longer than they should have been are being let-off; a further increase in those who have no longer any useful employment to go to every day.

Free Concert-
The Clonmel Writers Club & St Mary's Senior Choir , for some years, have held a free concert of music, poetry & prose at the Main Guard in Clonmel on the 1st Thursday in December to promote a better awareness of Cancer Care in our community. For a number of reasons, they are moving their venue to Old St Mary's Church.
I hope many of you will support this evening as we try to open Old St Mary's to a wider community. There will be a box or some such container at the back of the church on the night for anybody who might wish to make a donation.

Tús –
This the new government initiative to provide one year's training and work experience for those unemployed.
The candidates are chosen at random from the live register and placed in areas of work in the community for which they either have some experience or an aptitude in a particular area of work that might be available.
Two participants have begun work at Kilcommon cemetery & St Paul's Church, Cahir.
Each will work 19 1/2 hours per week for one year. An application has been made for a participant for Tubrid churchyard, which is in dire need of being cleaned up and having the headstones transcribed onto our database. There is also a possibility of getting some help with Tullaghmeelan church & churchyard.

Services in the Irish Language –
At the recent clergy conference some of us met with Ms Caroline Nolan of Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise.
She has been employed to encourage dioceses to use the Irish language in worship. For many years, a monthly service as Garilge has been conducted in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin.
Twenty clergy met with Ms Nolan, recorded simple prayers & responses which will shortly be available to Church members so that they can learn them as a preparation to partaking iinn the services which will shortly be arranged to take place monthly in the cathedrals of our dioocese – there will be one service per month and they will be conducted by one of the team of nine who have volunteered for this new venture.
