This year the Easter Vigil was broadcast Live on RTE from Maynooth Seminary and just after the readings there was a ‘New Psalm’ played and sung by the College Choir. “New!” because it had never been heard before in public. An eagle-eyed viewer was intrigued and watched for the closing credits – to discover – Music for the Psalm composed by a Fr D Mooney – Yes, you’ve guessed, none other than our very own modest Parish Priest. Congratulations to a man with such hidden talents, we all know as Fr Des, so – Congratulations to the Very Reverend Fr Desmond Mooney MA PP of Mayobridge and Burren."

  • Mother Teresa

    Mother Teresa

    Women Leaders: Mother Teresa ! " ! Synopsis: Mother Teresa was born in 1910, in Skopje, Macedonia. She was the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic order of women dedicated to helping the poor. Mother Teresa taught in India for 17 years until, in 1946, she felt called by God to devote herself to caring for the sick and poor. Her order established centers for the blind, elderly and disabled, and a leper colony for people with the disease leprosy. In 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize. She died in September 1997. Considered one of the greatest humanitarians of the 20th century, she was named a saint by the Roman Catholic Church in 2016. For Catholics and some other Christian groups, a saint is a holy figure, someone who lived a good life that can be an example to others. ! Early Life ! Mother Teresa was born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, in what is now the Republic of Macedonia. She was named Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Her parents, Nikola and Dranafile Bojaxhiu, were devoutly Catholic. ! In 1919, when Agnes was 8 years old, her father fell ill and died. Agnes became very close to her mother, who taught her daughter to have a deep commitment to charity. ! Though they were not wealthy, Drana Bojaxhiu welcomed the city's poor to eat with her family. "My child, never eat a single mouthful unless you are sharing it with others," she told her daughter. ! Religious Calling ! Agnes attended a convent-run elementary school and a public high school.
