Farewells are not easy... .... ... The bells of the three churches: Carrigeen, Kilnaspic and Mooncoin have called me to lead you in prayer for the past six years. Now the bell of the Church of St. Kieran in the parish of Seir Kieran will call me to continue to lead people in worship. It was at Seir Kieran that St. Kieran heard the bell ring and caused him to build a monastic settlement there. Seir Kieran became the seat of the diocese of Ossory. Life in the parish of Mooncoin has been wonderful for me. I have experienced tremendous support from the faith of each one of you and I thank you. My prayer of thanksgiving is joined with St. Paul in chapter three of his letter to the Ephesians:
‘This, then, is what I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every family, whether spiritual or natural, takes its name: Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will with all the saints have the strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; until, knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge you are filled with the utter fullness of God. Glory be to him whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine; glory be to him from generation to generation in the Church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever. Amen.’
May the Lord bless you. May His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He fill you with His love and peace.
Until we meet again. Fr. Eamonn O’Gorman.

29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, Oct 17, 2010
Cardinal Newman, as a result of his recent beatification, has received great attention lately. It is well deserved. He was a profound thinker and much of what he had to say has a lot to offer us now. Therefore, on Monday, October 18 at 8pm in St. Patrick’s Parish Centre, Kilkenny, Rev. Dr. Thomas Norris will explore what it is that Cardinal Newman’s understanding of conscience can offer to our Church and Society today.
All men and women have a conscience, but not all act according to it: how easy it is, after all, in our world today to be talked out of our clearest duties. If we argue that the Pope and Conscience both come from God, and we do, then in the final analysis there cannot be a conflict between them. If Church and Society need to be built on the pillars of truth and justice, conscientious living is surely indispensable. Blessed John Henry Newman is renowned for his forward thinking on conscience in Church and Society and on Monday, October 18 we will have the opportunity to explore this together.

28TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, Oct 10, 2010
It is time for me to see the flaws of myself
and stop being alarmed.
It is time for me to halt my drive for perfection
and to accept my blemishes.
It is time for me to receive slowly evolving growth.
the kind that comes in God’s own good time
and pays no heed to my panicky pushing.
It is time for me to embrace my humanness,
to love my incompleteness.
It is time for me to cherish the unwanted,
to welcome the unknown,
to treasure the unfulfilled.
If I wait to be perfect before I love myself,
I will always be unsatisfied and ungrateful.
If I wait until all the flaws, chips and cracks disappear,
I will be the cup that stands on the shelf and is never used.

27TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, Oct 3, 2010
PRAYER TO ST JOSEPH IN DIFFICULT TIMES
Great Saint Joseph throughout your life you were a man of boundless hope in the midst of all the difficulties you encountered – the painful circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus, the flight into Egypt – your only source of strength was your unwavering hope in the goodness, the power and the faithfulness of God.
Today we come before you full of confidence. Since you are so close to God, please unite our prayers to yours. Ask your son to sustain us during the trails we are now facing.
Help us to move beyond our suffering by sharing with us that same strength that sustained you through you own trials. May hope be for us, as it was for you, a light in the darkness and a guide along the way every day of our life. Amen.
PARISH’S RESPONSE TO PAKISTAN RELIEF FUND
You will be happy to learn your response realised €4507.00 God reward you generosity. The following letter came from the Presentation Generalate Monasterevin, Co. Kildare.
Dear Parishioners of Mooncoin.
Thank you for your prayers and support for the Sisters and people of Pakistan during the recent devastating floods. We have been so moved by the generosity of so many people in sending financial help for the victims. Our Sisters are working with other Religious in Pakistan to support the giving of immediate aid and also in providing houses for the many people, Muslim & Christian, who have been left homeless. Although the flood waters are beginning to slowly recede, the long term effects of the flooding will continue to be devastating for the people.
We ask you to continue to hold in your prayers the Sisters and people of Pakistan.
With love and blessings
Sr. Emer Manning (Former leader of Pakistan Mission).

Great Saint Joseph throughout your life you were a man of boundless hope in the midst of all the difficulties you encountered – the painful circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus, the flight into Egypt – your only source of strength was your unwavering hope in the goodness, the power and the faithfulness of God.
Today we come before you full of confidence. Since you are so close to God, please unite our prayers to yours. Ask your son to sustain us during the trails we are now facing.
Help us to move beyond our suffering by sharing with us that same strength that sustained you through you own trials. May hope be for us, as it was for you, a light in the darkness and a guide along the way every day of our life. Amen.
PARISH’S RESPONSE TO PAKISTAN RELIEF FUND
You will be happy to learn your response realised €4507.00 God reward you generosity. The following letter came from the Presentation Generalate Monasterevin, Co. Kildare.
Dear Parishioners of Mooncoin.
Thank you for your prayers and support for the Sisters and people of Pakistan during the recent devastating floods. We have been so moved by the generosity of so many people in sending financial help for the victims. Our Sisters are working with other Religious in Pakistan to support the giving of immediate aid and also in providing houses for the many people, Muslim & Christian, who have been left homeless. Although the flood waters are beginning to slowly recede, the long term effects of the flooding will continue to be devastating for the people.
We ask you to continue to hold in your prayers the Sisters and people of Pakistan.
With love and blessings
Sr. Emer Manning (Former leader of Pakistan Mission).
