Revised Date: Killaloe Diocese Autumn Pilgrimage to Lourdes:   Owing to an increased demand for accommodation in Lourdes during this Year of Faith a request has been made to the Diocese to reduce the number of nights from five to four.  Consequently the revised dates for the Autumn Pilgrimage are from Friday 27^th September to Tuesday 1^st October, with a new reduced price of €590.  This is still the cheapest pilgrimage out of Ireland.  This year the Irish Church is celebrating the Centenary of the First Irish Pilgrimage to Lourdes in 1913.  Book on line at www.joewalshtours.ie and you will be entered for a draw for one free place.  Full details on the Diocesan website at www.killaloediocese.ie.

Thought for the Week

"The ideals which have lighted my way and, time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been kindness, beauty and truth".                      (Albert Einstein)

 

IMEALL BOIRNE CLUSTER MISSION / RETREAT:  It is proposed to hold a Mission/Retreat during the coming year incorporating the four parishes – Corofin, Crusheen, Ruan and Tubber. In order to offer what is most appealing to the people, your thoughts on these questions would be appreciated:

1. What type of mission/retreat would you most like?
2. If you would like to attend, what time of day/evening is best for you?
3. As this is a cluster event, where do you think is the best venue for it?
4. Are there particular themes/topics you would like to consider during the mission/retreat?
5. Any other suggestions?
