Parish Newsletter
This is the first week of the production of a weekly parish newsletter. Copies of the newsletter will be available after Mass at the end of the church in Glengoole and in the porches in Gortnahoe. We wish that each family would have one newsletter in their home each week. We are most grateful to those who have undertaken the production of the Newsletter each week. The parish does not have a photocopier, so the first cost is the buying of a photo-copier. A huge Table Quiz will be held in Mary Willies on Friday 19th May at 9.00. Table of four €24. First Prize will be a meal for four people in The Anner Hotel, Thurles, to the value of €100.00. There will also be a raffle with a first prize of a D.V.D. Player, remote control and 50 D.V.D. movies, plus many other prizes.

The publishers during May are Carmel Troy at troyseamus@eircom.net and Stella Lanigan at jslanigan@eircom.net. All information for the Newsletter must be with the publishers or the priests by 6.00 on Friday.
