It isn’t often we have the pleasure of seeing a Millstreet man taking to the stage in Stockholm!! Last night Darren Kiely played to a packed venue at Nalen in central Stockholm. The performance was brilliant, the atmosphere was electric and the night was a resounding success. Well done and congratulations on an astounding performance @Darren Kiely ….. Great meeting you-looking forward to the fantastic career that is ahead of you!!
A huge thank you to everyone who responded to our call for rushes to make St. Brigid’s Crosses at Millstreet Library. Special thanks to Margaret, Mary, Catherine & her two sons Daniel and Conor, Liz, and Liam for their contributions. We had a fantastic morning (Fri. 31st Jan. 2025) where lots of beautiful crosses were made, both for personal use and for the church. It was wonderful to see the community spirit in full force. Thanks again to everyone who came along and contributed. Happy St Brigid’s Day. Tap on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)

From Kevin McDermott from Co. Wexford we received the following much appreciated message followed by his magnificent Poem dedicated to Noreen: “I wrote this love poem as a memory of a wonderful Millstreet girl Noreen Cronin from Murphy’s Terrace. Noreen was my partner, wife and soul mate for 53 years until she passed away over four years ago. I hope to turn the poem into a song and have already composed the music to fit the words. The attached photo shows Noreen on her wedding day. I’m sure that a few people will remember her . Kind Regards, Kevin McDermott.”
*A Lovely Old Waltz*
Our hearts were young and life was fun
When we met in a bright city street
Her smiling face in that lonely place
Caught my eye and my heart skipped a beat.
I was beguiled by her lovely smile
Alone and far from her home
That Irish colleen who would be my queen
My dearest, my darling Noreen.
An accordion played, to the music we swayed,
Our hearts were at one with the beat
I looked in her eyes they told me no lies,
I loved her, there was no retreat.
She said she loved me, how I hoped it would be
I prayed that her words were not false
In London town true love we found
As we danced to a lovely old waltz.
Those days are long gone but the memories live on
Of a life that was loving and blessed
Our love it stayed strong as the years moved along
For our children we both did our best.
But the good Lord He came and He called her by name
To his heavenly home up above.
My darling is gone, yet the music lives on
And the tune is a lovely old waltz.

Dia is Mhuire dióbh go léir a cairde and welcome to my Report.
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful .’Twas the good Lord made them all. He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell how great is God almighty, who has made all things well.
The sound of the beautiful voices of the children’s singing at Mass on Sunday morning is still ringing in my ears. There is something special about children singing, especially in church. The power of the organ and the tender efforts of children so full of sincerity and meaning are moments to savour. It was a very special occasion with our Bishop Ray Browne the chief celebrant. During the ceremony he welcomed five men who have come forward to serve as lectors and will serve in the churches of the Dioceses from now on. These men have been studying for the past five years in preparation for this big step in our church. It’s a relatively new and welcome development at a time when our priests need all the help that they can get. They will not have the power to celebrate Mass nor hear confessions but other than that they will be able to lighten the load of our already overworked padres. Their Christian names are, Shane, Brian, Chris, Linus and Michael. We must surely thank them for taking this massive step on behalf of us all and we wish the every success and God’s blessing in their new ministry. At the end of Mass His Lordship made his way down through the Church greeting and blessing the people as he went.
