Christmas 2012
I would like to comment briefly how heartening it was to see all our
churches so well attended this Christmas. In the midst of all the
challenges we face it is encouraging to witness how steadfast the
faith of the parish community is and has been. Naturally our Churches
are less full in the post Christmas return to ‘normality’ but could I
urge those of you who come less often to come whenever you can. You
are missed when you are not there and our worship and fellowship is
all the better when you are there. I do appreciate that for some
people there are lots of competing activities on a Sunday morning, in
terms of Sport especially, but if and when you are free you are always
welcome. Together we are stronger and can be a more effective
community of faith.
Bereavement: It was with considerable sadness that we said farewell
to Hilda Williams (Nee Switzer) of Stoneyacre, Cloughjordan. Hilda was
a wonderfully warm and positive person who saw the best in life and
brought out the best in others. In latter years she had lived in
Rivervale Nursing Home in Nenagh but always had a great love for her
home and her family as they did for her. Our condolences and prayers
go to her sons Gordon, Freddy, & David & daughters Daphne & Kay as
well as her brother Alan and sister Marian and the extended family.
