THE NEW MISSAL – Questions and Answers to
assist our preparation for changes in some of the words we pray at Mass from September
2011 will be included in the Newsletter over the next two months. Sunday
June 26th 2011 Question:
Is the Catholic Church in Ireland alone in introducing this new Missal? Answer: The Catholic Church in Ireland, along with
Churches throughout the English speaking world, is working towards introducing the new
edition of the Roman Missal at this time. This
new edition is the English translation of the Latin Missal that was issued by Pope John
Paul II in 2002. Since 2002 the Church in its
many languages has engaged in the work of translating this Latin text through study,
reflection and consultation. This work in
English speaking countries is now complete. In
Ireland, as in other English speaking countries, the new Missal will come into use during
Autumn 2011. Sunday July 3rd
2011 Question:
What differences can we expect at Mass from September 2011? Answer: From September, congregations will begin to pray
the new translations of the people’s prayers at Mass.
These new texts will be on Missalettes and on specially produced “congregational
cards” and will assist us in becoming more familiar with the new edition. In some places people will, by then, already be
familiar with this congregational card through using it at weekday Mass or at Parish
Meetings. PATRON
DATES – BREE AND BALLYBRENNAN Ballybrennan Patron will take
place on Friday evening, July 22nd in Ballybrennan Cemetery. Bree Patron will take place on Sunday August 21st
commencing at Clonmore Cemetery and moving to Bree New and Old Cemetery. Full details in coming editions. |

The Office of President
Mary MacAleese has been in touch with Bri Beag Committee to extend the Presidents
heartfelt sympathies to the Kavanagh family and the Community of Bree on the recent
passing of Fr. Aidan Kavanagh. The President
will write personally to the Kavanagh family in the coming weeks.
Bree Active Retirement Association would like to
extend their deepest sympathy to the Kavanagh family, Bishop Denis Brennan, Fr. Matt
Boggan and the entire community on the recent death of the very Rev. Fr. Aidan Kavanagh,
our esteemed club president.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Ballyhogue
G.A.A. Club would like to extend our sympathies to the family and friends of our much
esteemed club president Fr. Aidan Kavanagh P.P. who passed away suddenly last week. Fr.
Kavanagh had a long and valued association with Ballyhogue G.A.A. club since his arrival
in the Parish 30 years ago and his presence in the field on Summer evenings will be sorely
missed. A club guard of honour flanked his removal on Friday night and the huge crowd in
Bree on both Friday evening and Saturday morning showed the genuine respect that
Father Kavanagh was held in.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

The Junior Footballers had a good win over Monageer in
Championship on Wednesday night, taking the game by three points. The intermediate
footballers were unlucky to lose out to a goal in the dying seconds of additional time in
their 'Martin Breen Tournament' game against Réalt na Mara in Ballygarret on Tuesday
night. Also best of luck to the Wexford footballers, and our clubman Seán O Neill, in the
Leinster final on July 10th.
There was no winner of the Ballyhogue Lotto on Wednesday

some love and attention. We are looking for people to pick rubbish, remove small
branches and general clean up. This community effort will begin next Thursday
