"Actions speak louder than words, let your words
teach and your actions speak"
IMEALL BOIRNE CLUSTER MEETING A very well attended cluster meeting took place in Crusheen on last Wednesday night to plan the response in the four parishes to the reduction to three priests in the nine church areas. Key issues discussed included Sunday and Weekday Masses, Receiving Funerals, Lay Led Liturgies, Parish and Cluster Administration and Sacramental Preparation. It was proposed that weekend Masses in the nine churches will be reduced to seven Masses and two lay led liturgies each weekend. No decision was made on how this would be organised and people are asked to discuss among themselves during the coming weeks what the best arrangement of these Masses might be. A final decision will be made at a follow up meeting on September 7th at 8.00 pm in Crusheen. It was agreed that all four parishes would combine so that a solution could be achieved.

His most recent cycling exploit was the Tour de Munster charity cycle, where he joined the cycle on the route between Killaloe and Kilrush in the company of cycling legend, Sean Kelly and 120 cyclists, raising funds for Down Syndrome.
