DEVELOPMENT ASSOC:
Tea Dance:
Everyone was in good dancing form last Sunday and equally Danny Webster provided good dancing music for us.   Sincere thanks to all those who brought spot prizes, there was over a dozen to choose from.   Many thanks to our dedicated committee who turn up each month to help out.  Also. many thanks to our Tús Employee, Pat O' Donnell, who has been working in the community centre for the past number of weeks.   He has done fantastic work, which has taken much of the burden from the committee members.   He has removed moss from the tarmac, fixed a leaking drainpipe, polished floors, dug out the overgrown flower bed, sets up the hall for the tea dance and undercoated the stage area for the drama.   He  also cleaned and tidied up the edges of the footpaths in the graveyard.    We are delighted to have him.
Seasons  Greetings:    Wishing all our parishioners a Happy, Holy and Peaceful Christmas.   Not forgetting those who are in hospitals, nursing homes, families who have been bereaved during the past year and those who are working overseas.   Hopefully everyone will enjoy the break and get through the holidays safely.
