Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1241 from Millstreet . Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this the first Tuesday in November. The change of time and the end of our long hot Summer has left us reaching for warmer clothes and turning up the heat.

But it remained fine at the weekend for Halloween. Little children dressed in all sorts of scary outfits went from house to house singing and dancing to earn the goody bags, before rushing off to the next place. Some places sent up sparking fireworks as the little ones gazed skywords in awe of it all.

As so we are into the Month of November,the month of the Holy Souls when our thoughts turn to prayers for our dear departed.

Special indulgences, applicable to the Holy Souls , can be gained from November 1-8 by those who visit a graveyard and praying for the dead.followed by confession and Holy Communion.

Blessing of Graves will take place at the Graves in Millstreet on Sunday next Nov 9th ,starting with the Churchyard Cemetry after 11.30 Mass ,St Mary’s at 12.45 and Drishane 1pm.

Special candles for placing on the graves, will be Blessed at all masses at the weekend.

And at the end of the month a special Mass will be said for all those who passed away in the last 12 months.

Eucharistic Adoration will be held at the usual times during the week and confessions on Saturday from 12.30 to 1pm.
