Deceased members of the O’Brien Families (Live on Imeall Boirne Facebook page) Today is Divine Mercy Sunday.
It was instituted by St. John Paul Ⅱ in May
2000. The message and devotion to Jesus
as The Divine Mercy is based on
the writings of Saint Faustina a Polish nun
who died in 1938 aged thirty three years.
The message of God's Divine Mercy is
nothing new. The Church has always taught
through Scripture and through tradition
that God is merciful and that forgiveness
is available for all sins.
His mercy is much greater than any sin. We ought to come before God humbly and
with confidence in his Divine Mercy.
We can say this prayer today;
O fount of Life,
unfathomable Divine Mercy,
envelop the whole world and
empty Yourself out upon us. Toonagh School Parents Association We are holding a clothes collection as a fundraiser after the Easter holidays on Thursday, April 15.

Members of the community had a meeting last month with Enda
Mac Namara Senior Engineer with Clare County Council.
Cllr Joe Killeen kindly attended the meeting on behalf of Cathal
Crowe TD. Lucky at the time of the meeting traffic was busy in the
village therefore all parties are fully in agreement that something
needs to be done to make the village safer. The ball is now with
Enda to get plans drawn up and hopefully funding issue will be
addressed by Cathal and his team. It is hoped to get a pedestrian
crossing, line markings, signage and possibly an electronic speed
detection sign. Enda did mention that this process will take a few
months but hopefully the outcome will benefit all in the community
sooner rather than later Trócaire Boxes Now that Lent has concluded the
challenge of collecting Trócaire
