NB: We invite all First Communicants and Parents / Guardians to occupy the front seats of our Church today, please. The Volunteer co-ordinators will give to the parents a copy of the Grapevine / An Fhíniúin in family preparation for our next special liturgy on Sat/Sun Feb. 23rd/24th. Please study and discuss together at home.
Shared/Multiple Intentional Masses
With less public Masses in St. Mary’s and given the wish of parishioners to request Mass for their intentions, you are offered the Friday 7.30pm for Shared or Combined intentions. Such has been the pastoral practice in Kerry urban parishes for some time and will hopefully facilitate our own parishioners if you so wish.
As the recommended stipend for an announced Mass in the Kerry Diocese is €20, which the celebrant receives, all extra offerings will be send by the Parish to the nominated charity of the Bishop of Kerry, The Education of Priests and The Sick and Retired Kerry Priests’ Fund. All intentions, (once requested before Friday publication) will appear on the newsletter as usual. Enquiries, please contact 066-9151208.
Luke’s Gospel Talks
To celebrate the Year of Faith, Fr. Séamus O’Connell will give two nights’ presentation on Luke’s Gospel, on Friday Feb 1st and Friday Feb 15th. Beginning with Mass @ 6.15 pm. followed by refreshments and then his exploration of the Gospel from 7.30 – 9.30pm in St. Brendan’s Pastoral Centre, Tralee. The cost is €5 per night. If possible, please bring a Bible or the Gospel of Luke with you. More info, or to book a place, please tel. 064-6632644 or email francesrowland@dioceseofkerry.ie
Bliain an Chreidimh – Our Patron Saints
Laochra an Chreidimh No.19
St. Bridget may have been born in Dundalk, Co. Louth. According to her biographers her parents were Dubhthach, a Pagan chieftain of Leinster and Brocca, a Christian Pict and slave who had been baptised by Saint Patrick. Some accounts of her life suggest that Bridget’s father was in fact from Lusitania, kidnapped by Irish pirates and brought to Ireland to work as a slave, in much the same way as Saint Patrick. Many stories also detail Bridget’s and her mother’s statuses as pieces of property belonging to Dubhthach, and the resulting impact on important parts of Bridget’s life story.
The Vita outlined Bridget’s early life. It says that Bridget’s mother was a slave and Bridget herself was born into slavery to a druid.
(Jake – Scoil Cill Mhic a’ Domhnaigh)
Saint Clare Of Assisi is the patron Saint of sore eyes. She was the daughter to Phaionno Sciffo. They had three daughters Clare, Agnes and Beatrice. Saint Clare was born in 1194 at Assisium, a city in Italy built on a stony mountain called Assisi. Clare is also the Patron Saint of Television, goldsmiths, laundry, embroiders, gilders, good weather, needle workers, Santa Clara Puebelo, telephones and telegraphs. St. Clare of Assisi died on August 11th 1253. She was 59 years.
I picked Saint Clare of Assisi because she is the patron saint of eye disease. If I ever get eye disease, I could pray to Satin Clare. She is the Saint of a lot of things. She sounds like an inspirational Saint!

Seachtain na Scoileanna Caitliceacha 2013
Is é seo an cúigiú bhliain as a chéile dúinn ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar an gcion tairbhe iontach a chuireann na scoileanna Caitliceacha ní hamháin leis an bpobal áitiúil, ach leis an tsochaí Éireannach i gcoitinne. Aithníonn téama na bliana seo an pobal creidimh ina bhfréamhaítear an scoil Chaitliceach. Díríonn sé aire i dtreo na hidircheangailteachta a tharlaíonn maidir leis na pobail chreidimh seo, agus cuireann sé i gcuimhne dúinn gur forás í den bhaile spioradálta agus den eaglais áitiúil pharóisteach. D’fhógair an Pápa Beinidict XVI an bhliain seo bheith mar Bhliain
an Chreidimh. Cuireadh tús leis an mbliain seo ar an 11 Deireadh Fómhair 2012, agus leanfar ar aghaidh leis go dtí an 24 Samhain 2013. Iarrtar orainn ar fad urnaí a dhéanamh i rith na bliana seo, cur leis an tuiscint atá againn maidir lenár gcreideamh féin, fianaise a thabhairt ar an mbealach ina mairimid, agus freastal orthusan a mbíonn gátar orthu. Tugann Seachtain na Scoileanna Caitliceacha 2013 deis dúinn machnamh a dhéanamh ar an mbealach inar féidir linn na cúrsaí seo a chur i bhfeidhm sa teaghlach, mar is é sin an áit is tábhachtaí ar fad ina bhfoghlaimíonn agus ina ndéanann daoine óga teagmháil leis an gcreideamh.
Roinn an Dea-Scéala
Ceann de na rudaí is luachmhara a mhúineann tuismitheoirí dá gcuid páistí ná go mbíonn cion i
gcónaí ag Dia orthu. Léigh na focail seo ó Íseáia fáidh le do pháiste le go dtuigfí cén cion atá ag Dia
orainn:
Anois, seo mar a deir an Tiarna…. ná bíodh
eagla ort, óir tá tú fuascailte agam; ghlaoigh
mé ort i d’ainm agus is liomsa tú. Má
ghabhann tú trí uiscí doimhne, táimse leat;
má ghabhann tú trí aibhneacha, ní bháfaidh
siad tú. Má shiúlann tú tríd an tine, ní
dhófaidh tú tú féin, ná ní loiscfidh an lasair
tú. Óir is mise an Tiarna do Dhia, Neach Naofa
Iosrael, d’fhuascailteoir….mar is luachmhar tú
i mo shúile, is mór liom tú agus is mór é mo
chion ort…. Ná bíodh eagla ort, mar tá mise
leat. Ís 43:1-5
