THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best
which is within us. – Marianne Williamson
There are so many challenges and demands in our lives that sometimes, at least I do, that we get so busy that we forget our true purpose – that purpose is to be the person that God has created us to be. In my life’s journey I usually have two problems that are similar but different - one I often times get myself running so fast that I forget that I have to take time to reflect on what it is that God actually wants me to be doing - although I am getting better at that (sometimes). The second is that I often forget that BEING all I am intended to be is not all about doing - it is about being. Being on the inside - taking time to stop, listen and hear what my heart is saying. Taking time to stop and sweep out the garbage that collects on the bottom of your heart from the debris that people and life tosses at me. Being in the silence to listen to God’s voice - words of comfort, words of joy, words of wisdom, words of challenge, words that are whispered so quietly that if I am not listening they are missed.

GAA
Mooncoin GAA Club would like to thank all those who contribute to making the recent 125 year weekend celebration a huge success. The Sport Complex was transformed to accommodate the exhibition of Mooncoin GAA memorabilia made up of medals, photos, hurleys, newspaper cuttings tracing the history of the club from its formation in 1886 to the present day. A big thanks to all those who organised and participated in the Family Fun Day held on the Sunday. Finally to all the sponsors who gave generously to help make this a successful event. The U-12's U-10's U-8's and U6's played their part of making the whole weekend a success. To those who took part we hope they enjoyed it.
Last weekend saw the annual Roanmore Tournament under 8 & 9. Mooncoin had two under 8's and one U 9 on the day. All teams performed very well with medals coming home to all players. A great day was had by all.
Next Saturday the under 9 & 10 Mooncoin Tournament takes place with clubs from neighbouring parishes taking part. Your support would be great on the day.
Results: The first round of the U-14 championship Mooncoin 2-10 : Ballyhale 1-6. 2nd round - Mooncoin 3-7 : Piltown 2-8.

COLLECTIONS
Over the last few months, the Sunday collections have fallen a lot. Guess it is understandable in the present climate. However, it has come to our notice, there is sometimes one or two collections on the way in and that some people stand in the gateway. I wish to take this opportunity to remind all those who collect outside the church that the law states “that collections will not be taken up within a distance of twenty meters of all entrances to church property” (Collection Act 1962). We, the finance committee, ask all collectors to observe this legal requirement and that all collections taking place would be published on the grapevine the week before. Our insurance bill for Sept 2011 - 2012 this year comes to €7,223.09. Costs are going up every month. While we think globally we have to act locally. Thanking you in anticipation for your co-operation in relation to those matters.

23rd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, September 04, 2011
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
The Democratic Party Leader J. Layton in Canada who died of cancer recently wrote in a letter the week before he died:
“My friends, love is better than anger, hope is better than fear,
optimism is better than despair, so let us be loving, hopeful and
optimistic and we will change the world”
A lot of wisdom in those words!
The Revised Roman Missal
On November 27 – The First Sunday in Advent, will mark a significant change for the Catholic Church in Ireland and throughout the whole world. On that day, we will being to use the Roman Missal, Third Edition. This is the third revision of the ritual text that contains the prayers and instructions for the Celebration of the Mass. The implementation of this new edition of the Roman Missal provides each of us with a unique gift – an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the sacred liturgy, to reflect on and to appreciate it’s meaning and importance in our lives. As we move forward in the process of implementing this new resource, it is our hope that we will come to a renewed awareness that “What we pray is what we believe”. We will begin during the month of September to use some of the new responses.
We would like to wish the Kilkenny Team the very best of luck on Sunday. We hope that everyone will enjoy the day & that anyone travelling up to Croke Park will have
a safe journey.

22nd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, August 28, 2011
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
If you’ve been shown mercy & forgiveness by those whom you’ve wronged, don’t hinder the ripple effect.
Show mercy & forgiveness to others who’ve wronged you.
It is much easier to turn a friendship into love
than love into friendship.
Children…. Good News….. Schools after the summer holidays open next week!
The Girls’ & Boys’ School open on Tuesday, August 30.
Carrigeen School on Thursday, September 1.
Wishing all our pupils and students the very best for the school year 2011 – 2012. Enjoy the learning and the fun. With prayers and best wishes to pupils, teachers and all who work in the school system.
CONGRATULATIONS
To all our Leaving Certificate students, we wish you all the very best and every blessing as you embark on a new and exciting stage of your lives. May God the Holy Spirit be your guide and protector.
MARRYING ABROAD?
Couples who intend to marry abroad and who make arrangements to do so with the help of a travel company should, like all couples, make contact with their parish in good time to give notice of marriage, to undertake the normal marriage preparation and to carry out the necessary church formalities (that is to establish their freedom to marry). This applies also to mixed marriages. Couples intending to marry abroad should give more notice than usual, as the legal procedures involved in a foreign marriage take a considerable amount of time.
A sincere word of thanks to Theresa Finn who was our parish secretary for 1½ years. We wish you every success and blessing as you go back to college. Thank you for your patience, skill and service.
Welcome to Ann Croke our new secretary – we look forward to working with you and serving the people of the parish. God’s blessing and peace be with you both.
MOONCOIN GAA
Monday, August 29
The Mooncoin GAA membership draw for All-Ireland tickets will be held at 8.30pm in the Sports Complex.
Friday, September 2
The ticket draw for All-Ireland tickets takes place at 9pm in the Sports Complex.
Congratulations to the family of the Mooncoin GAA Club in celebrating 125 years since its formation. Well done. A big thank you to all Club members and organising committee for the weekend celebrations. A wonderful weekend was had by all. Thank you. We wish you continued success and many graces and blessings in the future.
COLLECTIONS
Over the last few months, the Sunday collections have fallen a lot. Guess it is understandable in the present climate. However, it has come to our notice, there is sometimes one or two collections on the way in and that some people stand in the gateway. I wish to take this opportunity to remind all those who collect outside the church that the law states “that collections will not be taken up within a distance of twenty meters of all entrances to church property” (Collection Act 1962). We the finance committee ask all collectors to observe this legal requirement and that all collections taking place would be published on the grapevine the week before. Our insurance bill for Sept 2011 – 2012 this year comes to €7,223.09. Costs are going up every month. While we think globally we have to act locally. Thanking you in anticipation for your co-operation in relation to those matters.

MARRYING ABROAD?
Couples who intend to marry abroad and who make arrangements to do so with the help of a travel company should, like all couples, make contact with their parish in good time to give notice of marriage, to undertake the normal marriage preparation and to carry out the necessary church formalities (that is to establish their freedom to marry). This applies also to mixed marriages. Couples intending to marry abroad should give more notice than usual, as the legal procedures involved in a foreign marriage take a considerable amount of time.

FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, July 03, 2011
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Our daily lives can easily become filled with stress, pressure and confusion. But we can stop at any moment and slip away into the presence of God’s spirit through prayer, reflection and meditation, and there find peace and refreshing.
‘Be still and know that I am God.
All the earth proclaim in the Lord. Sing your praise to God’.
Wishing you all a very happy and joy filled and safe summer. Drive with care – life has no spare.
VIATORES CHRISTI
Would like to thank all of the parish team most sincerely for the very warm welcome which Charlie Flynn received when he visited the parish of Mooncoin on June 18/19. Charlie was greatly touched by the hospitality and response he received. The amount of €1,333.24 was donated to Viatores Christi by the parishioners of Mooncoin. Also we were delighted to receive some enquiries from people who may be interested in joining our lay missionary preparatory programme, with the view to going overseas, or getting involved in voluntary work here at home. Collette Rooney Development Officer.
MOONCOIN GAA
Mooncoin GAA will celebrate 125 years in existence this year. To mark this milestone, Mooncoin GAA will hold a celebration of past, present and future of the Club on August 20/21. It is planned as part of the celebration to hold an exhibition of past club history. To make this event a success, the Mooncoin GAA committee are looking for items to be part of the exhibition - photos, newspaper articles, memorabilia, which is linked to the history of the club. The committee would be grateful for any of these items which could be displayed as part of the exhibition. All items will be returned to the owner after the event. Contact Billy on 051 895933, Seamus on 051 895600, or David on 087 1222373.
MOONCOIN JUVENILE NOTES
The U6’s opened with their first club match Thursday last in Slieverue. It was a very enjoyable evening for both child and parent, we look forward to their next match. The U8’s also attended and they too performed very well on the evening. They are all looking forward to the Mooncoin U8 blitz in early July. The U10 team is progressing nicely having competed in the Kilkenny ‘Go Games’ and the Ballyduff upper U10 tournament, which took place over two weekends. The lads enjoyed going to west Waterford to compete. Thanks to Centra, a number of our U10’s had the opportunity to train with Henry Shefflin and John Mullane last Saturday morning at Nowlan Park. The two lads were great giving their time to training and talking to our future stars. The U11 team is still involved in the Waterford city league with one round of matches to be played. They are competing in the A league and are performing well. Our U12’s took part in the Tullogher tournament taking honours over Mullinavat on the last day. The Kilkenny U12 league begins on July 23. Best of luck lads. The primary schools were beaten in the quarter final against Thomastown. They had a fantastic league campaign, but were beaten by the better team on the day. A special thanks to Mr. Niall Tennyson for his coaching to the lads.

May they Rest in Peace.
Our daily lives can easily become filled with stress, pressure and confusion. But we can stop at any moment and slip away into the presence of God’s spirit through prayer, reflection and meditation, and there find peace and refreshing.
‘Be still and know that I am God.
All the earth proclaim in the Lord. Sing your praise to God’.
Wishing you all a very happy and joy filled and safe summer. Drive with care – life has no spare.
VIATORES CHRISTI
Would like to thank all of the parish team most sincerely for the very warm welcome which Charlie Flynn received when he visited the parish of Mooncoin on June 18/19. Charlie was greatly touched by the hospitality and response he received. The amount of €1,333.24 was donated to Viatores Christi by the parishioners of Mooncoin. Also we were delighted to receive some enquiries from people who may be interested in joining our lay missionary preparatory programme, with the view to going overseas, or getting involved in voluntary work here at home. Collette Rooney Development Officer.

MOONCOIN JUVENILE NOTES
The U6’s opened with their first club match Thursday last in Slieverue. It was a very enjoyable evening for both child and parent, we look forward to their next match. The U8’s also attended and they too performed very well on the evening. They are all looking forward to the Mooncoin U8 blitz in early July. The U10 team is progressing nicely having competed in the Kilkenny ‘Go Games’ and the Ballyduff upper U10 tournament, which took place over two weekends. The lads enjoyed going to west Waterford to compete. Thanks to Centra, a number of our U10’s had the opportunity to train with Henry Shefflin and John Mullane last Saturday morning at Nowlan Park. The two lads were great giving their time to training and talking to our future stars. The U11 team is still involved in the Waterford city league with one round of matches to be played. They are competing in the A league and are performing well. Our U12’s took part in the Tullogher tournament taking honours over Mullinavat on the last day. The Kilkenny U12 league begins on July 23. Best of luck lads. The primary schools were beaten in the quarter final against Thomastown. They had a fantastic league campaign, but were beaten by the better team on the day. A special thanks to Mr. Niall Tennyson for his coaching to the lads.
