Lourdes Pilgrimage Easter 2024 – Thanks for Your Support

Two 5th year students from Millstreet Community School, Holly Saunders and Aoife Casey, will be travelling as helpers with the Irish Pilgrimage Trust at Easter.  They will be joining up with Group 126. The girls set out before Christmas to fundraise to cover their fare/accommodation costs (€750/person) and maybe raise some funds to go towards Group 126’s fundraising efforts.  Well, as a result of their hard work, the assistance of their families and the support of the local community they raised an incredible total: €4243.25. Once the fares are taken out of this, €2743.25 will contributed to towards Group 126’s fundraising. Here s a special message from Group 126’s leader, Vivienne Rattigan:
To The Millstreet Community,
 
Once again Group 126 of The Irish Pilgrimage Trust wants to thank the people of Millstreet for their generosity in supporting the group travelling to Lourdes at Easter. The money raised covered the fare for  5th year volunteer student carers Aoife Casey and Holly Saunders. The surplus goes to the group’s general fund. Each group has a target of €18,000. All adult volunteer carers pay their own way.
 
The  Millstreet Community achieves two things. Firstly, it gives financial support. Secondly it has promoted and  fostered the spirit of volunteerism in the young people in Millstreet Community School down through the years. A special thanks also to the parents and friends of Holly and Aoife and to Mr. John Magee, school chaplain, who liaises with us from year to year.

Christmas Message to Millstreet Parish from Canon John Fitzgerald, P.P.

Dear Parishioners,

 We have completed our Advent journey and are ready to welcome

our Saviour into the world. When we reflect of the last twelve months,

we can see how so much, and so little has changed, both personally

and worldwide.

As we celebrated Christmas in 2022, families were rejoicing that

they could be together for this special time following long separations

due to Covid. We saw welcoming scenes at our airports of families

reuniting and we saw tears of joy; unfortunately, these joyous scenes

were once again overtaken by images on our TV screens of tears of

devastation, due to wars and families being torn apart. How sad it is for

all those who have had to leave their homelands and try to rebuild their

 lives, with very uncertain paths before them.

This Christmas we remember all these people who are part of our

community and just like Mary and Joseph did in that simple manger in Bethlehem, we extend our hand of friendship and pray that peace will

be restored to all the troubled parts of our world.

In Parish news our Parish Finance Council are delighted to announce that

our Parish debt is now €1,000,000. This is a great milestone to have reached and sincere thanks to our committed and loyal Parishioners, near and far,

past and present, who have contributed through our Envelope system and personal donations. Of course, as we repay our debt, we continue to carry

out necessary work to all Parish property.

I also take this opportunity to thank everyone who has assisted in our Parish during the year; Priests of the Pastoral Area, our numerous volunteers who

help prepare our Churches for liturgies during the year, Church choirs and organists, those preparing our children for First Holy Communion, our Parish Staff and our Parishioners who attend our daily and weekly Masses.  It is all of you who make our Parish vibrant and who will help to keep our faith alive.

I am always conscious that many families in the Parish are grieving the loss of a loved one and this time of year can be particularly hard. The Light of Faith, and the precious memories of each loved one we hold in our hearts, will sustain and help us.

 To all parishioners, at home or away, may true peace be with each and every one of you this Christmas Season.

 Today true peace has come down to us from heaven: Our Saviour has been born in the world.

CHRISTMAS PRAYER

Lord,

As we celebrate your birth among us

May our hearts be filled

with the joy of your presence.

May our families be Blessed

from the abundance of your goodness.

May our world be filled

with the wonder of your peace.

May we rejoice and be glad

that you are not far away

From anyone of us this Christmas.

Amen

   Silent night, Holy night, All is calm, All is bright.
