Dromahair ~ Killarsue ~ Newtownmanor October has been designated Mission Month when we remember the 1,500 Irish born Missionaries working in more than 80 countries. They continue to spread the Gospel through their work, their Faith and their commitment to the people they serve. Next Sunday is Mission Sunday when we contribute to the Special Collection to support our Missionaries. You will find the Mission Collection Envelope in your Dues packet or simply use an ordinary envelope marked Mission Sunday. As Christians we are invited to reflect on our call to be disciples and bring Christ to others. CHURCH NOTICES.

If you have old clothes for disposal, why not bring them there. Your contribution will help the parish and various charities. Currently people are leaving out bags of clothes at their houses to be collected by purely commercial operators & they rarely help significantly any worthy cause ~ despite what a few advertise! And other clothes banks in the village contribute only a very small amount to the charities they advertise. Please do not bring books, toys or any items other than clothes
