31st Sunday in Ordinary Time – 5th November 2017 view of the reality that she has given such sterling service to the community. She took over the role of sacristan when her mother-in-law, Elizabeth, died. Elizabeth had served as sacristan in Glann for almost sixty years having herself taken over the role from yet another “Duffy” woman. There’s quite a link here and one that the people of Glann are happy to recognise.

In a time when it can be all too difficult to get people to volunteer or commit to a role in service of their community, Maureen and Tommy send out a clear signal that service is possible and that there is a lasting joy in that very act of serving.

Though my own involvement with Glann Church Tommy and Maureen Duffy has only increased in recent weeks, I quickly came Maureen - Sacristan Glann Church - 1987-2017 to value Maureen and Tommy. Apart from fidelity to their task, I was very struck by their good humour and togetherness. With all of you, I wish THANK YOU them an abundance of both.
