EASTER
2003
Happy Easter
everyone. Another year passes so quickly and we wonder where time
goes to. Symbolic of that time of year that seems just a few
months ago since we last celebrated Easter are the ceremonies
prepared for us by Fr. Tom Commins. He is the first to acknowledge
that he gets a great deal of help from all the community and told
parishners on Saturday night vigil and Sunday morning mass how much he
appreciates the help he gets and how content he is to be here in
Cloonfad.
During the week a good
attendance witnessed the Easter spirit culminating on the high-point
of the week on Easter Sunday. Weather being as it was people were
more inclined to be out and demonstrated a good spirited humour more
accustomed to summer time. Many thanks Fr. Tom for the insight you
give us into your spirituality.
YOUR
PRAYERS ARE REQUESTED FOR:
·
Pat Burke, Burteen, Cloonfad

Mrs Nellie Keane (nee
