Acknowledgement and First Anniversary
In Loving Memory of Dan Barrett
Who died on 4th April 2023
As we lovingly remember Dan on his first anniversary, we, his family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those, who helped and supported us with our sad loss.
A special word of thanks to all who attended the funeral, travelled long distances to be with us, as well as those who joined the Mass online.
Our sincere thanks to all those who offered condolences, brought food to the house, sent mass cards, perpetual enrolments, letters of sympathy, phone calls, text messages, floral tributes, kind words and extended condolences online.
We are especially grateful to all our neighbours for the wonderful send-off he got in his beloved Aubane.
We would like to thank Canon John Fitzgerald, Fr James McSweeney & Fr Teddy Linehan for the beautiful Requiem Mass and Sharon Lane & Julie Brady for their assistance.
A special thanks to Mary and Siobhán Forde and their families for providing such beautiful music.
We would also like to thank Davy Tarrant, Declan Brady and Cora O’ Riordan for their kindness and professionalism.
As we cannot thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our gratitude. The Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
Dan’s Anniversary Mass will take place on Thursday 4th April at 7.30pm in St Patrick’s Church, Millstreet.
“Will those who think of Dan today, a little prayer to Jesus say.”
May he rest in peace

Eily’s Report – 2nd April
Dia is mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.
Fools Day is over and the clocks are put forward and the sun is shining, what more can we ask for? Schools are closed for the week, so let’s all be merry and bright.
Our Easter ceremonies went very well. A great number of people attended the Penitential Celebrations on Wednesday evening where priests from other parts of the Dioceses sat in our church to hear confessions. Holy Thursday evening also drew fine crowd and on Good Friday the Church was all but full for the final story of the Passion of Christ, before the joyous nine o’clock Mass on Saturday night to celebrate the Risen Christ. We had five priests on the alter and the choir excelled themselves, especially in the rendering on The Gloria at the end and the Congregation responded with a rousing round of applause. The priest thanked all those who helped in any way to make our Easter ceremonies the wonderful event that it was.
