The pandemic of 2020 brought grief, anxiety and uncertainty, as well as economic loss and disruption of livelihoods. Many aspects of life that we had taken for granted, like visiting loved ones in nursing homes, or popping in to a see a friend, suddenly changed. The events of 2020 have served to remind us of our interconnectedness as human beings. Together we stood and applauded frontline workers and discovered a new sense of community with our neighbours. We wash our hands, wear face coverings, refrain from embracing and maintain distance, mindful that the actions of each of us as individuals have the potential to protect or endanger others. The actions of frontline workers who have sacrificially gone about their business, or those who have delivered groceries for neighbours who are self-isolating, sewn scrubs or kept in touch with others by phone have been a reminder that everyone has the potential to benefit others. Churches too have been part of that collective response and in seeking to act in the interests of those who are most vulnerable have sought to live out faith in the context of the spread of Coronavirus. Faith has been a source of strength and support to many throughout this difficult time. Clergy, ministers, priests and lay people of faith have responded with compassion and imagination to the challenges of the pandemic, with online services, pastoral support and provision of opportunities for prayer. Political leaders in both jurisdictions have faced huge challenges. We continue to pray for them and encourage them to work together towards the building of political stability in which the whole community can prosper. As 2021 begins, we will face new challenges and opportunities. The changes which Brexit will bring are another powerful reminder of that interconnectedness. As Church Leaders, we continue to encourage the building of relationships across and between these islands. The new context that Brexit brings demands a commitment to working together in constructive ways. This coming year marks the centenary of the foundation of Northern Ireland and of Partition. We recognise that people will approach the centenary from a variety of perspectives - for some this is a cause for celebration, others will look upon the last century with a sense of loss and separation. For us, as Church Leaders, the centenary opens up opportunities for greater understanding of each other, for further healing and reconciliation between our communities. This centenary also provides the opportunity for us to reflect together on the failings of relationships and use of violence across the whole island which have marred our past and which in some ways continue to cast a shadow on the present. Mindful of our interconnectedness we recognise our different perspectives on this centenary even among us as Church Leaders. Still we commit ourselves to building a future together in which historic mistrust and division becomes a thing of the past. Our interconnectedness extends beyond our own communities to the global community. Covid-19 has made the daily challenges faced by those who live with poverty even greater than they were. We have corporate and individual responsibility to use resources not just for our own benefit, but for the benefit of others around the world. Jesus’ reminder to love our neighbour is particularly relevant in this context. Jesus shows us what that love looks like in His care for others even in the context of historic differences, His concern for those whom many thought unimportant and His willingness to put the needs of others before His own. He came to serve not to be served. In our united commitment to be good neighbours we play our part as servants of the Gospel in building communities and a society in which all know that they are significant and in which all can prosper. So, as we begin this New Year we point to the hope that is made real as we recognise that we are interconnected and work together to build a better future. And as Christian leaders we point to, and stand within, the hope which has been made known in Jesus, who has promised His presence in every situation and who is the light of the world. God bless you. A New Year’s Prayer May God make your year a happy one! Not by shielding you from all sorrows & pain, But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes; Not by making your path easy, But by making you sturdy to travel any path; Not by taking hardships from you, But by taking fear from your heart; Not by granting you unbroken sunshine, But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows; Not by making your life always pleasant, But by showing you when people and their causes need you most, and by making you anxious to be there to help. God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead. We offer heart-felt thanks to all those people who voluntarily give of their time to assist us - Parish Pastoral Council, parish office staff, housekeeper, cleaners, sanitizers, counters, choirs, organists, flower arrangers, sacristans, crib-builders, caretakers, decorators, readers, Eucharist Ministers - and everyone who helped in any way throughout the year. A very special word of thanks to the Mass Servers who come to assist us at Mass and please God after the pandemic will assist us again. A sincere thanks to Fr. Kevin and Fr. John who helps me in the cluster. May the Christ-Child bless you in abundance. Fr. Michael Reilly P.P. Celebration of Baptisms While the celebration of the sacrament is within our remit, the concern we must have is the fact that it may facilitate family gatherings which do not observe the restriction in place at present. I suggest, therefore, that you outline the restrictions in place before you undertake to celebrate the sacrament. It is important to remember that the manner in which the celebration of the sacraments of baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation are celebrated at present may put the celebration of them in jeopardy for next year. Reflection Where 2 or 3 meet in my name . When we see the tabernacle with the red light beside it, we immediately accept that here is the reserved presence of Our Lord and Saviour. When we attend Mass and the priest holds up the sacred host we immediately sense that we are in the presence of God. But sometimes too God may be present to us and we can’t tune into that presence. We can get a glimpse of God in a beautiful sunset, in the exquisite playing of a musician, in an experience of great love. But the other reality is that God is present to us always. God lives in us by virtue of our baptism. And God is present to us every time a few of us meet in his name Peace Prayer of Saint Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

  • Jutting Proudly Into the Atlantic Ocean, Mayo Boasts a Stunningly Beautiful Unspoilt Environment with a Magical Attraction for Visitors
    33 BVnd Jutting proudly into the Atlantic Ocean, Mayo boasts a stunningly beautiful unspoilt environment with a magical attraction for visitors. Cosmopolitan towns burst with charm and personality, as welcoming as the Mayo people themselves. The standard and availability of accommodation is excellent and the range of visitor attractions and activities expands each year. Unique highlights include climbing Croagh Patrick , Ireland’s holy mountain with the starkly beautiful National Famine Memorial at its foot and spectacular views of Clew Bay and its many islands from the summit. History comes alive at the world famous Céide Fields in North Mayo where man’s imprint on the land dates back 5,000 years. Foxford Woollen Mills offers a glimpse of the county’s industrial past while The National Museum of Ireland – Country Life just outside Castlebar , houses the national folk life collection depicting everyday life in Ireland from the 1850s to the 1950’s. Westport is one of Ireland’s most popular towns, a planned town and one of Ireland’s tidiest towns as evidenced by its consistent positioning in the National Tidy Towns competition. Westport House & Country Park is a magnet for families while Achill Island , beloved of artists, has Slievemore Deserted Village , a poignant reminder of a darker past. Knock Shrine in the east of the county was the scene of a miraculous apparition in 1879 while charming Cong will forever be associated with Hollywood and ‘The Quiet Man’ film. Festivals are a part of life here, particularly in the summer months – will it be adventure sports, beach racing, arts, music or a children’s festival? Quite simply, Mayo is amazing! 34 RIDGEPOOL, BALLINA, CO.

  • The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850
    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850 A Mayo County Library Exhibition 1 Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to the Treasury directed government relief measures during the famine, meticulously scrutinising all expenditure The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Great Famine was one of the defining moments of Irish history. It marked a watershed in the history of the country causing a change so complete in the Irish social and economic fabric, that the people’s sensibilities would never be the same again. No longer could the Irish people trust to the land to provide constant sustenance. No longer could they rely on whatever security of tenure was allowed by the landlords, and more importantly they learned that their English political masters cared little for their plight. The Famine in Mayo is a portrait of the lives and deaths of the people as recorded by witnesses in books, newspapers and official records of that period. 1(a) The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Potato Disease e first reports of blight appeared in September of 1845. For one third of the country’s population of eight million, the nutritious lumper potato was pratically the sole article of the diet. In County Mayo, it was estimated that nine tenths of the population depended on it. An acre and a half of land could provide enough potatoes to support a family for most of the year. Any other crops or animals the smallholder raised went to pay rent. A potato famine was a great calamity.
