THIS WEEK’S NOTICES

Sympathy: We express our deepest sympathy to Tony O’Connell and his family, on the
death of his mother, Alice; we hold them in our thoughts and prayers
Saint Michael’s Clean-up: Due to be held on Saturday 1st October was cancelled.
Cathedral railings: The cost of repainting the railings around the Cathedral is €2,300 (to
date already €1850 donated). Anyone who would like to assist/sponsor in the cost of these
works is invited to speak with the Dean.
The Evergreens: The Evergreens travelled to Portumna last Tuesday, 27th September, with
reduced numbers due to the death of one of our driver’s mother. We extend our sympathies
to Tony O’Connell and his family. Some of our members wished to attend the funeral, so
they had to forgo the outing. It was not a pleasant day weatherwise but everyone took
pleasure in visiting the castle and gardens, sitting in the coffee shop or just generally catching
up on news after the summer. Over the other side of town to the Irish Famine Workhouse
Museum in the afternoon, where we had a very informative tour by our guide, Aaron. As one
person put it “… we enjoyed feeling miserable…” on behalf of the inmates of the workhouse
and very thankful that we live in 21st Century Ireland! Well worth a visit if you are ever in
Portumna! Our next meeting is on Tuesday, 25th October at 2:30 pm in the cathedral.
Fun(d)raising: A very fruitful Funraising/Fundraising meeting was held on Monday last. It
was agreed not to hold the annual Parish Christmas Fair this year but to look at holding a big
one in 2023. SAVE THE DATE – A social Table quiz to be held on Friday 18th November at
7.30pm in Saint Michael’s Church Hall. Tables of 4 for €20 confined to parish members and
friends to be booked in advance through (1) via email Philip Cullen - pipdoc2@gmail.com or
(2) via Sheet with the Churchwardens. Please note that individuals (€5) are welcome and
these will be teamed up with others on the night. Refreshments and raffle on the night.
