Dromahair ~ Killargue ~ Newtownmanor Sunday 15th August 2010 ~ Feast of the Assumption of Our Ladv. Special Collection next Weekend We are all aware of the continuing crisis in Pakistan caused by disastrous flooding. It is estimated that at least 14 million and possibly 20 million people are affected ~ a greater number than all those affected by the Asian tsunami or the Haitian earthquake combined! Each Diocese in Ireland is holding a special collection for Tmcaire'Pakistan Appeal at all masses next weekend. This collection will be taken up in our 3 churches after Communion next Saturday & Sunday. Please do your best in difficult times & thank you for your unfailing generosity! GENERAL / CHURCH NOTICES. [A] Thanks to all who helped out at the Visitation & Blessing of Graves in the Newtownmanor Cemeteries last Sunday, 8th August 2010 and all who were present. [B] Today, Sunday, 15th August, is the Feast of the Assumption of Our Ladv. There will be Mass at the Holy Well. Killargue at 5.00pm ~ weather permitting. When heavy rain falls, the ground around the Holy Well can be quite dangerous and is most unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems. Please don't take chances! [C] Diocese of Kilmore ~ Marriage Preparation Courses: It is Diocesan policy that each couple attends an ACCORD Pre-Marriage Course. Facilitators giving these courses undergo continued in-service training and supervision. And the sacramental aspect of marriage receives appropriate attention. It is a wise practice to do a course up to a year before the date of your marriage. Doing a course only weeks before your wedding makes little sense! All couples are asked to note this request and make suitable & timely arrangements.

Amounts forwarded are as follows: Dromahair ~ €570.75; Killaroue ~ €232.50: Newtownmanor ~ €243. Total €1,046.25.
