PARISH NOTES
Lá Bealtaine (1st May Sunday or May Day in English). Bealtaine is one of the two big gateways in the Celtic year – out of winter into summer. A time to welcome in summer, a time to welcome growth and fertility. A time to celebrate the Sun in all its might and a time to put the animals to pasture after a considerable amount of times spent indoors out of the cold depths of winter. Great bonfires were lit on the eve of May. Bealtaine means bright fire. Whitethorn was both worn and used to decorate the home at Bealtaine. Birch is regarded as a feminine tree and Deities associated with Birch are mostly love and fertility goddesses. It is one of the first trees to show its leaf in Spring. Rowan is tree of protection and healing. May is also associated with Our Lady and praying the Rosary. O Mary! We crown thee with blossoms today ... Bring Flowers of the Rarest.
CHANGES to WEEKDAY MASSES: Caherline - 10am Tuesday & Thursday. Caherconlish – 10am Wednesday & Friday. (N.B>Wednesday evening mass ceases) ADORATION after Tuesday mass in Caherline & Friday mass in Caherconlish.
36 DAYS CELEBRATION OF EASTER (“Cáisc”) TO PENTECOST (5th June) - Alleluia. Jesus is Risen, Alleluia. Easter faith tells us that #hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.

Our Love through our Trócaire Boxes this Lent: As our eyes and hearts open to the great sorrow in Ukraine, please let us also remember loving families who continue to suffer in terrible forgotten crises worldwide. In the face of Covid, poverty, and climate change, they are struggling for a future so far from the media spotlight that help won’t have a hope of reaching them unless we, together, act this Lent.
