Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1210 from Millstreet.Fondest greetings dear listeners on this breezy, damp morning as we all try to recover from St Patrick’s Day.

Thank God the weather was great on the day,and on the previous days which gave people a chance to prepare for the greatest event of the year. The greatest I say because  as  St. Patrick is not just the patron saint of Ireland but his feast is celebrated in every country in the world, even in thetiny West Indian island  of Montserrat, which is about the size of Munster. Their celebrations go on for a full week.

Accommodation request for retreat team o/n 17th March

The 1st and 2nd year students at Millstreet Community School have a retreat on Tuesday 18th March in Millstreet Parish Centre.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I am hoping to find simple accommodation for the team of 18-25 year  young adults who will be running the retreat.  There are ten of them and they belong to NET Ministries.  They are mostly from USA and Canada.

Thanks to those who have already volunteered to host pairs of the team.  I still have four to find accommodation for.  If there are two families able to give them accommodation and a simple meal on the evening of 17th March (they’ll be arriving in Millstreet at 7pm), and breakfast on the 18th March, that would be great.  They need to be back at the parish centre for between 8.00am or 8.15am.  If you can help please contact John Magee at Millstreet Community School on 029 70087 tomorrow (Friday), as we are closed on Monday.  Thank you.

Preparing for West Cork Rally 2014

A request for families to host retreat team in Millstreet

A retreat for 1st and 2nd year pupils from Millstreet Community School will take place on Tuesday 18th March 2014 upstairs in the Parish Centre Millstreet, beginning at 9am.

The day will be led by the National Evangelisation Team (NET) Ministries which is a non-profit, Catholic Youth Ministry.  Over the last number of years they have run retreats in a number of schools in Kerry Diocese and this will be the sixth year they’ll have been in Millstreet.

The NET team consists of 10 members: 6 girls, 4 boys, ranging from the ages of 18 to 25. This team of young adults spend a year away from their own families in USA and Canada to share their faith with the young people of Ireland.

We are looking for families to put up the team members in pairs during their time in Millstreet for one night: Monday 17th March, from 7pm.  Families willing to do so are asked to provide a simple meal and a place to sleep, which does NOT necessarily have to be a bed.  The team members have their own sleeping bag and pillow and are flexible with where they sleep for the night, be it floors, couches, or air mattresses. They’ll need to be a parish centre on 18th March by about 8/8.10am the next morning to get ready for their busy day.

They are not expecting to be waited on, but are rather geared towards spending time with the family and adapting to your normal routine.

 If any families are able to host a pair of the team members for the night of 17th March, please contact John Magee (Chaplain, Millstreet Community School) on 029 70087.
