  • 22Nd December 2019 Fourth Sunday of Advent
    22nd December 2019 Fourth Sunday of Advent DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR? It’s so close to Christmas now, and this weekend the prayers and readings of Mass are filled with anticipation for the coming of the Christ child at Christmas. This is the great Good News of the Gospel—that God is with us. We’ve heard it before of course, but we all need to hear it again so that we understand just how close God is to us in all the circumstances of our lives. Of course we know that not everyone has heard this Good News. Others don’t think too much about it and some think it’s not for them. Let’s see what we can do this Christmas to help others find Jesus. It could be as simple as inviting them to join us for Carols at the Manger or Christmas Mass. And let’s pray too that many more people will encounter God for themselves this Christmas. THIS WEEK CONGRATULATIONS Sunday 9am Mass at Dervock To the family of Serafina Liberante who was baptised last week. 11am Mass at Ballymoney YOUR OFFERINGS LAST WEEK All weekday services in Ballymoney, except where noted Weekly Offering: £ 1418.00 Monday 10am Mass Golden Mile: £ 23.00 Next week’s collections Tuesday 10am Mass Christmas Voluntary Collection (Christmas Eve & Day) Christmas Eve no adoration today, but the church is open Weekly Offering for the parish (December 29th) for prayer all day 12noon-1pm Confessions Thank you so much for your generosity to all the Church collections.

  • Brave Record Issue 11
    Issue 11 Page !1 Brave Report HMS Viknor formerly SS Atrato They captured the major German spy and perished with him In January 1915 the crew of the armed merchant cruiser HMS Viknor made a major contribution to the war by capturing the leading German spy-master after a search and chase operation. Unfortunately they and their captives were lost within hours, sunk in a storm or by a mine or a combination of both. Northern Ireland - Service in the Royal Navy - In Remembrance Issue 11 Page !2 The ship’s Commanding Officer, E O Ballantyne, had been informed by Lord Fisher that he was to search for and apprehend the SS Bergensfjord - a Norwegian owned and neutral ship. Information had been received from British intelligence sources that persons taken aboard the ship in New York under the guise of being neutral citizens were in fact German reservists. This was quite a challenge to present to what in reality was a makeshift warship. Viknor was a civilian ship hastily prepared for war, and manned mainly by members of the Royal Naval Reserve, including twenty-five seamen of the Newfoundland Division of the RNR. In their search and apprehend action the ship’s company proved that they were fit for role. The Viknor which was only able to do seventeen knots had headed out to the North Sea as Admiral Jellico wanted it to strengthen the blockade of Germany by the northern patrol. On Friday 8th December the message was flashed to the fleet that SS Bergensfjord should be captured at all costs.

This volume has been prepared in accordance vvith the provisions of Section 6 (1) of the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1936, from the census returns made as at JJ?-idnight of the 28th February-1st March, 1937. The statistics contained herein supersede those contained in the Preliminary Report published in July, 1937, and may be regarded as final. The census which was taken in 1937 was a special one in the sense that it was limited .in .scope and was taken during the interval between normal census years, thus bndg1ng the gap between the 1926 census and the next full census. Certain ques~ions usually found on census schedules, such as those regarding occupation and Industry, were not asked, but a ne\v question as to usual residence \Vas in­ cluded for the first time. The 1937 census publications \Vill consist of :- 1. SEVEN CouNTY VoLUMES, each similar in design and scope. The smallest area for which statistics are given in the county volumes is the district electoral division, but statistics in respect of townlands, similar to those given in table 4, have been prepared in the Census Office and are available for reference upon application to the Registrar General.

  • To Download the Trail Publication
    IntroductionI Step into Ballymena's past with self-guided Churchyard Trails The Ballymena area is dotted with a diverse range of churchyards reflecting the fluid and constantly evolving nature of religious sites from the late 400s onwards. Each site offers a different experience and has its own unique story to tell within the wider history of the area. This booklet features two distinct trails. Pre-Reformation Trail The Pre-Reformation Trail explores the history of some of the oldest remaining traces of built heritage in the area. It highlights sites that have been used for Christian worship from the time of St Patrick and before the formation of the Protestant faith in the early 1500s. Covenanter Trail The Covenanter Trail delves into the distinctive history and associated sites of the 'Covenanters', or Reformed Presbyterian Church, in the local area. Covenanters were named after the National Covenant and the Solemn League and Covenant signed in Scotland in the mid 1600s. In 1644 the Solemn League and Covenant was brought to Ireland and signed in 26 places across Ulster, including Ballymena. These documents declared Presbyterianism to be the only true form of church government and insisted that the King should have no authority over the church.
