That Their Good Deeds may not be Forgotten
10,000 years – that’s the amount of service to God and to humanity given in 28 countries, across 6 continents and several cities, by over 200 Nuns, Brothers and Priests associated with the parishes of Clondrohid, Kilnamartrya and Macroom.
They empowered the helpless, provided education and health-care for the poor, care and accommodation for the outcasts, the orphans, the elderly poor and those who were dying. They helped prisoners and empowered the helpless.
From their Irish homes, they brought generosity of heart, nobility of mind and dignity of spirit to share with the wider world and they left an awesome, beneficent legacy.
No profits will accrue to the author from this book but will instead be donated to charities that reflect the work of the 205 individuals whose awesome, beneficent service is outlined therein.
Comments
“A local book with national and international appeal …”

Magnificent Celebration of Culture and Inclusion at MCS
We thank John Magee, Chaplain at Millstreet Community School for the following report:
The Celebration of Culture and Inclusion event that took place on Thursday 4th December in Millstreet Community School was a remarkable event. This is the twentieth year that the school has hosted such a gathering. It really was a wonderful opportunity for staff, students, members of the local community and guests from further afield to celebrate Irish culture along with the wonderfully mix of other languages and cultures that exist in the school and the local community at this time.
Students with an Irish background alongside their peers from countries other parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, sang, played music, danced, spoke about their own country and read self-penned poetry.
We are grateful to the guests who accepted the invitation to attend: Bishop Ray Browne (Kerry Diocese), Imam Amr Hamad (Imam at the Cork Islamic Society) and Jennifer Cooney (WorldWise Global Schools Project Officer for the Munster region). Aindrias Moynihan TD and Cllr Gobnait Moynihan also joined us for the celebration. John Paul O’Shea TD had communicated in advance that he would unfortunately not be able to attend.
We were also very pleased to welcome Sara Hakim, the Director of Schools of Sanctuary Ireland. Millstreet Community School was recognised as a Champion School of Sanctuary in November 2023 and the Celebration of Culture and Inclusion was certainly an example of this in action.
Once the entertainment was over, it was time to move into the school canteen for the chance to taste food from different countries and traditions. We are grateful to all the families who contributed to this wonderful spread. In addition, special thanks goes out to O’Leary’s Family Butchers, Tony O’Brien Master Butcher, Capabu, Aroma Café, The West End Café and Sklep Polski Iwonka for adding to the culinary delights.
So another Celebration of Culture and Inclusion has come and gone, but it is sure to live long in the memory of those who were able to attend. On a damp dark winter’s night it was truly an evening of warmth, light and life.

Council…and to the many other people who help in various ways. Santa will arrive in very special transport and is assured of a royal welcome together with Mrs. Clause and the very helpful Elves.

create a festive atmosphere in Millstreet. Our Christmas lighting uses energy efficient LED lights which
require 75% less energy than traditional bulbs. To add to the festive spirit we kindly ask households and
businesses in the town to decorate their premises.
We would like to thank all who provide power for our Christmas display, those who volunteer their time,
premises and equipment and those who contribute financially.
Special thanks to Cork County Council for
their continued support.
This weekend November 22/23 we shall be having our annual Church gate collection and we would
appreciate your kind support.
(Sincere thanks to Niamh for the important Notice….S.R.)
