A Note from the Pastor's Desk.


For everything there is a season, the Book of Ecclestiastes tells us, a time for every matter under heaven! 
For me that time has come to take my leave from this lovely area of Dromahair ~ Killargue ~ Newtownmanor and 
I will be accepting new appointment as parish priest of Belturbet on the 1st September 2015. 
I am going to miss this area and its people immensely but I know the parish needs a new voice and 

a new approach for the future. 
And I hope the change will be good for me too, having spent one quarter of my life here ~ a long time! 
I'm truly grateful for your wonderful support, generosity and friendship over so many years. 
I wish you all every blessing in the years ahead. Gach Beannacht! 

John Me Tiernan, P.P. 

How can you expect God to speak in that gentle and inward voice which melts the soul, 
when you are making so much noise with your rapid reflections? 
Be silent and God will speak again! Francois Fenelon.

Johnny, aged five, was told by his mother he must finish his breakfast porridge. He said he didn't want to. 
You must finish it, said his mother. If you don't, God will be very angry. 
She went into the kitchen to wash up, leaving Johnny looking with sullen determination at his porridge. 
Outside it was raining and suddenly there was a heavy roll of thunder. 
Johnny's mother came back into the room and found him eating his porridge as quickly as he could and 
muttering to himself: All that fuss for a smallplate of porridge!
