Killaroue & Cloonteuaher: Sunday 30th June 2013; Newtownmanor: Sunday 11th August 2013 Oh! Give me Faith that I may be alive when April's ecstasy dances in every white - thorn tree. Patrick Kavanaah. A priest was summoned in haste by a woman taken suddenly ill. He answered the call, though somewhat puzzled, for he knew she was not from his parish. In fact she was known to be a devoted worker in another parish. While he was waiting to be shown to the sick - room, he began talking to the little girt of the house. Is your own priest away? he asked. Oh no! replied the little girl, he's at home. Only we thought it might be something contagious and we didn't want to take any risks!
