Con Lynch’s Wonderfully Impressive New Publication

Available at a wide variety of Bookstores including “Wordsworth” Millstreet and also online https://www.corneliuslynchauthor.ie .

That Their Good Deeds may not be Forgotten
Author Con Lynch
Author Con Lynch
10,000 years – that’s the amount of service to God and to humanity given in 28 countries, across 6 continents and several cities, by over 200 Nuns, Brothers and Priests associated with the parishes of Clondrohid, Kilnamartrya and Macroom.

They empowered the helpless, provided education and health-care for the poor, care and accommodation for the outcasts, the orphans, the elderly poor and those who were dying. They helped prisoners and empowered the helpless.

From their Irish homes, they brought generosity of heart, nobility of mind and dignity of spirit to share with the wider world and they left an awesome, beneficent legacy.

No profits will accrue to the author from this book but will instead be donated to charities that reflect the work of the 205 individuals whose awesome, beneficent service is outlined therein.

Comments

“A local book with national and international appeal …”

“It is an exceptional retrieval of a treasured segment of our faith…”

“Tá an leabhar seo eisceachtúil ar fad, ar fad…” (This book is very, very exceptional)

Magnificent Response to our Museum & Website Fundraiser

A million thanks to the many hugely generous contributors to our Millstreet Museum & Community Website Fundraiser which we only launched on Thursday, 6th Nov. 2025 (just two days ago!) and it has already reached in excess of €5,000.00 ! which will already cover our expenses for the coming year.  We shall continue the fundraising until the end of November permitting extra contributions to help defray the cost of future years so that we shall not have to appeal for any extra funding until that fund is depleted.   To follow the progress of our fundraising please refer to our GoFundMe page.  In addition to our GoFundMe project people have been contributing in cash such as the recent anonymous kind Donors of €100 and of €50.  Renewed thanks to All Our Very Generous Contributors who will be personally thanked for such encouraging support towards two Community Services – our Museum and our Millstreet Community Website indicating in such a concrete manner their sincere appreciation of both Services.  Below we share two images from our Museum Pictorial Archive.  These two wonderfully historical images which will evoke very special memories were very kindly presented by the late Jerry Lehane from the original Photographic Archive of the late Tadhg O’Driscoll.  The images refer to a Corpus Christi Procession of the 1950s making its way up Main Street to the temporary altar at The Square.  Having been born in 1951 I can recognise quite a few!  Tap on the photos to enlarge.  (Seán Radley)

Fundraiser for Millstreet Community School Lourdes Project 2025

Around twenty-five Fifth Years from Millstreet Community School have taken part in the Easter Pilgrimage to Lourdes since the link with Rise and Shine (formerly known as the Irish Pilgrimage Trust) was established back in 2011.  They go as helpers with Cork Group 126 and they return home afterwards tired but left with amazing memories after their week in France.

There are now three 5th year students from Millstreet Community School who will be participating in the Rise and young people’s pilgrimage to Lourdes during their Easter holidays 2026. Katie O’Keeffe and Caoilfhionn O’Connor have now been joined by Mike O’Donoghue.

As was the case in the past, the aim is to cover accommodation and travel costs for the three students (around €750/person) with all extra funds being passed onto Group 126.  The group is meant to raise €19,000 to cover the costs of all the young people with special needs who travel with them to Lourdes.

The first fundraising venture will be a table quiz.  This will be held in Corkery’s Bar, Millstreet on Friday 7th November 2025, beginning at 8pm. €40/table of four.

Your support for this event would be greatly appreciated.

Millstreet Parish’s Bio-Diversity Journey

MILLSTREET PARISH’S BIO-DIVERSITY JOURNEY

Every journey begins with small steps, and our Parish has taken another step to progress our bio-diversity projects, with the assistance of the children who will receive First Holy Communion in the Parish next year.

Following the Enrolment Masses for the children, last Sunday in Millstreet and on Thursday night in Cullen each child planted a crocus bulb in special planters.  These crocus flowers will be in bloom when the children celebrate their First Holy Communion next year.

This is just one of the Bio-Diversity projects that our Parish has undertaken in our commitment to returning 30% of Parish grounds to nature by 2030, as requested by the conference of Irish Bishops.

Earlier this year our Parish Pastoral Council met and discussed what suitable projects we could undertake. Various ideas were put forward and with the assistance of Rachel Budd, Diocesan advisor on Bio-diversity, our plan was put together.

The full plan for our Parish is on display in the Churchyard in Millstreet and the following will be done by year end/early Spring 2026:

  • Native bluebell seeds have been planted underneath the sign in Millstreet Church grounds.
  • A grant application through “Trees for the land” has been made for apple trees which will be planted on the grounds of Ballydaly Church.
  • Through funding from IRD Duhallow there will be planting of a green area behind Cullen Church with small plants which will attract bees for pollination.
  • In the new year, a swift box will be erected on the roof of Millstreet Church and to the rear of the Church work will commence on an “earth bank.”
  • Ongoing cutting and care of the Old Cemetery

Our Parish Pastoral Council look forward to our community becoming involved in these projects and wants to thank those who have assisted so far.

When we can see God reflected in all that exists,

our hearts are moved to praise the Lord for all his creatures

and to worship him in union with them.”

(Laudato Si’, 87)
