Nahyan’s ‘High 5’, Bailieborough: We are trilled to let you all know that the figure raised for Nahyan’s High 5 Bailieborough event was a MASSIVE €6,384.30!
Nahyan’s High 5 campaign has been up and running 9 weeks or so and we wanted to spread awareness and raise a little money for his fund but with everyone’s help we completely excelled this…We were thinking we could have a little Bake Sale and Shaun added in the Teddy bear hunt and we went from that to a very successful day. To see the excitement on the kids faces made all the hard work worthwhile.
We want to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to everyone who helped out, in any way. There are so many we can’t name everyone. We were completely blown away by the support. From the outstanding bakers, the businesses and indivuduals who donated fabulous raffle prizes, the people who designed our posters, those who printed them for us, the volunteers who helped out organising the event and on the day, to our face painters, our photographers, bubbles for the balloon displays….so so many lent a hand.
Massive thanks to the play centre for joining us with their characters for the event.
Finally thanks to each and every person who joined the event, bought bakes, made donations, bought raffle tickets etc. Those who made donations as they couldn’t be there… We thank you all deeply.
The final figure includes money raised from Precision embroidery competition, outdoor fitness class with Marlena, donations from McHugh ice cream van and Sinclair Pantry who both joined us on the day. Also a donation from Peter Crosby from a raffle he ran for a Honda 50.
St. Annes: Parish Schedule: Now that Fr. Rafal has returned home, Fr. Ultan is the only Priest in the Parish. This will be the case for the next few months. We hope and pray that Fr. Rafal will be replaced in the Autumn. Meanwhile we must manage.
During this time, it will be helpful if people contact the Parish Office during office hours to book Masses and to have Mass cards signed and to conduct ordinary Parish business. Mass bookings and all other business connected with Shercock and Killann will be managed through the Parish Office in Bailieborough. The Parish Office will be open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10am to 1.15pm and 2.15pm to 4.00pm. Please feel free to contact Fr. Ultan for assistance on 087 341 8037 or 042 96 65117 or email: bailieboro@kilmorediocese.ie
There will be no weekday Masses in St. Patrick’s Church, Shercock for the time being, but a regular Communion Prayer Service will be arranged shortly.
We especially encourage our young families to get back into the habit of coming to Mass. It will do us a power of good to be together and to worship God together as a community of Faith.
The Bishop has granted permission for the resumption of Baptisms, with a limited attendance confined to parents and godparents.
Mass can be heard on the radio at 107.8FM in the Bailieborough area and 92FM in Shercock.
