CULLEN and DISTRICT SPECIAL NEEDS ASSOCIATION

 32nd Annual Christmas Mass and Party- Saturday Dec. 8th.

The 32nd anniversary of our first Christmas Mass and party was celebrated in Cullen Community Centre on Sat. Dec.8th  and it certainly lived up to the success of the previous parties, some saying it was one of the best. Invitations were sent to approx. 100 special guests and their families. Despite the absence of a number of regulars, some of whom had gone to their eternal reward and others who were indisposed through illness, over 70 plus families and carers attended.

It commenced as usual with Mass in the Community Centre celebrated by Fr. Jack Fitzgerald who made the ceremony so special, with the Choir and organist Susan O’Connor adding to the occasion with appropriate  hymns and Christmas Carols. A wide assortment of fine food, refreshments and punch was then served to all and as the tables were cleared it was on to the dance floor for a fantastic disco with top class music from our faithful D. J. Andrew Lynch

Chairperson Breda O’Riordan welcomed all guests, families, carers and helpers and thanked all who contributed to the success of the party.

William Fitzgerald videoed our party and following on the recent successful launch of Cork Music Station, he presented a substantial cheque to Sec. Moira O’Keeffe.

St. Johns Well Mass 2006

The annual mass at St Johns well was held on Friday the 23rd of June. There was a fine crowd in attendance on what was a lovely summers evening. There were five priests celebrating mass this year. Cannon Manning and Fr Joe Tarrant from Millstreet, Fr James McSweeney from Ballyvolane, Fr Joe Poole from Namibia, and Fr Manning from Carriganima. There were glorious hymns from the Millstreet Choir and the Millstreet Pipe Band Played for the ceramony as is traditional. Recently trimmed trees and a light breeze thankfully helped to minimize the problem of the midges. The well of course was looking splendid as usual. Many thanks to everyone that attended and to everyone that helped in any way on the evening. The Mass is normally on the night of the 24th of June but was rescheduled this year because it clashed with the regular Saturday night mass.
