Parish Consultation – Dromtariffe Parish Hall, February 28th, 8pm.
Most people are aware by now of a serious shortage of ministering priests. Kerry Diocese, like most other dioceses is suffering a death of priests, and many parishes are without a resident priest. Sadly, this number is likely to increase. The Bishops of Ireland have therefore, initiated a consultative process with both the clergy and the laity, in the hope of formulating ideas and means of enhancing the role of the church into the future. Therefore, as in his recent pastoral, Bishop of Kerry, Ray Browne issued the following:
“I see the life of the 110 local church-communities as a valuable and valued resource for people now and into the future. In the light of fewer clergy, we need to explore how each local church-community can thrive with local leadership acting co-responsibly with the priests ministering to the parishes of the pastoral areas. A church can still be the centre point for community life, even if there is no weekend Mass. Think of your local church community in four ways; a social/friendship community, a caring compassionate community, a praying, worshipping and sacramental community and a community whose mission is to nourish and develop its faith, and hand it on the next generation”.
“Our first step in the process is consulting you, the people of the Parishes. In February, there will be a gathering in each parish. The invitation is open to all; what do you see as the strengths and weaknesses locally, and what are your thoughts on what might be done? In parallel with this, there will be a consultation for the clergy. Our hope is that parishioners and deacons will take a structured leadership role in their pastoral areas, working in a co-responsible way with the priests of the pastoral area as well as priests from abroad. This will allow priests to work across pastoral areas in a more sustainable manner. We will keep people informed as the process progresses”.
A number of parishioners have been trained to facilitate our parish meeting which will take place in Dromtariffe Parish Hall on February 28th at 8pm.
Everybody is invited and welcome to attend, and we would particularly encourage those who are involved in any ministry or parish committee, to make a special effort to be present.
Sometimes, people shy away from such meetings because the worry about ‘getting a job’. No need to worry in this case, all we need is your opinions and suggestions.
The meeting will consider the following:
Following the cancellation of the Meeting last Monday Night due to the weather and no power over in Dromtariffe Parish Hall this Meeting will now go ahead at 8pm on Monday January 29th to discuss the idea of setting up a new Vintage Club in the Area,anybody who might be interested in this is very welcome to come along to this Meeting.

Dromtariffe GAA & Historical Book Launch.
All roads will lead to Dromtariffe Community Hall on Sunday December 4th, when Dromtariffe GAA will launch it’s latest club history. Written by Dan Joe O’Keeffe and titled “In Praises of Dromtariffe”, the book describes the club’s long and illustrious story from its foundation in 1895 to 2020. It is not simply just the adult-club’s story, but also that of the under-age, ladies and Scór, as well as other sections of interest. The book will be launched by John Tarrant, well known sports reporter and local correspondent. Here is an opportunity for Dromtariffe people, young and old, from near and far to meet, great and reminisce. There will be music and song, along with light refreshments for all. It is hoped that the book will also be of interest to those outside the Parish, as it relates many epic and well fought clashes between Dromtariffe and its various Duhallow opponents. The book will retail at €25 and will be available to purchase at a number of local outlets. This is a limited edition and may be pre-ordered by contacting any of the following:
