Do This In Memory 2011-2012
Déanaigí É Seo i gCuimhne
40,000 Irish families are participating in this year’s parish programme in preparation for First Confession and First Communion. Already some parishes in England are adopting this Irish approach to Sacramental preparation of the children in which school, family and parish work together to ensure adequate preparation.
The Veritas handbook in its guidelines tells us that “the Sunday Eucharist is the most appropriate context for the celebration of First Communion …
Good Sunday habits will provide a solid foundation for a vibrant celebration of First Holy Communion”. (P. 119)
Our own parish programme began last September when all parents / guardians were invited to any one of three meetings to outline the course. Following upon this we celebrated Enrolment Masses at S. Caitlín, S. Eoin Baiste and St. Mary’s on the weekend of October 1st and 2nd when each child received the gift of a special candle as centrepiece of their Sacred Space in their family home.
God of love,
We ask you to bless these candles.
They will be carried by the children to their homes.
We pray that when the children gather
in prayer with their families,
These flames will be a reminder of your loving presence.
We make this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Every month since then each enrolled family has received the Grapevine /An Fhíniúin through the good offices of the volunteer parent leaders to aid family prayer, discussion and preparation for the upcoming Liturgy the following month. Before Christmas each child brought their Rosary Beads for blessing and brought home a bottle of Holy Water for their Sacred Space in a project encouraging devotion and prayer. Throughout the year all these children have been invited to gather around the Ambo for the Gospel and a dialogue homily afterwards and they all worked to decorate our three Advent Jesse Trees. At Communion time the children gathered around the altar for a special personal blessing.
In the New Year attention was focused on preparation for First Confession which we celebrated during the first week of March. During Holy Week some of the children and their parents participated in the Washing of the Feet ceremony of Holy Thursday on a day commemorating the Institution of the Eucharist.

Bréanainn Naofa – Bealtaine 16ú
Iomann Bhréanainn Naofa – Pátrún Chiarraí
A Bhréanainn naofa, ár laoch ‘s ár n-éarlamh,
an saol so thréigis nuair ghlaoigh Mac Dé ort;
do dhreapais sléibhte mar Mhaois is Élias,
is Críost é féinig go cnoc a chéasta.

Id’ naomhóig shnasta do threabhais an bhóchna,
ag súil go gcasfaí i dTír na mbeo thú;
cheiliúrais Aifreann ‘s an míol mar fhód fút,
‘s do thine Chásca do las mar lóchrann.

Éist inniu linn ag guí le dóchas,
Is coinnibh beo ionainn an spiorad a sheol tú
go h-imeall domhain ar son Dé na glóire,
go sroiseam fós leat an Talamh Fónta.
(Canaimís: Dr. Diarmaid Ó Súilleabháin Easpag Chiarraí 1985-’94 & An t-Ath. Pádraig Ó Fiannachta;)

Brendan of Ardfert was baptised by Bishop Erc at Tobar na Molt in the Parish of Ardfert in 484. Tradition tells us that having been fostered by Naomh Íde he was ordained Priest at Tearmann Eirc, Lerrig, Kilmoyley in 512. He has many foundations including Ardfert and especially Clonfert, Co. Galway where he is reputed to be buried between 576 – 583. (Ó Riain).
Brendan’s fame “rests mainly on Navigatio Brendani, the ‘Brendan Voyage’ arguably the most influential of all medieval texts … preserved in 120 manuscripts of continental provenance.”
(A Dictionary of Irish Saints: Pádraig Ó Riain. P. 115. Fourcourts Press 2011)
Féile na Bealtaine & St. Joseph the Worker
Dingle Liturgy Group thank all our carpenters and woodworkers idir óg agus aosta who presented in procession “the work of human hands”. The exhibition of their skill and craft on view in the St. Mary’s Sanctuary at all Masses last, Féile na Bealtaine weekend, was a delight to behold.
Moladh go deo le Dia.

St Molaga, pray for us
I give you my love that was
built by day and fell by night.
St. Molaga, pray for us.

Guide us to your abbey
that we rebuild
with envy, doubt and despair.
St Molaga, pray for us.

I light my candle on a sheaf of corn.
Let it float to you, my love,
on the river Argideen.
St Molaga, pray for us.

Let the candle-light of Timoleague
sanctify us – Kyrie. Gloria. Sanctus.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
St. Molaga, pray for us.
(Building his Abbey – “Ghost Trawler”: Dr. Míchéal Fanning)
