Fáilte roimh gach éinne. 23rdFebruary 2020 SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME BILL his is my father, Bill. He died almost nine years ago, R.I.P., but this weekend, had T he lived, he’d celebrate his 100th Birthday. I hope you don’t mind me remembering him in this space! I remember him today, and always will, as a good and hardworking man who did his very best for all of us. So many times, I felt proud of him when people would say to me “Are you anything to Bill Sherlock?” and I’d proudly say: “He’s my father.” The day I was ordained, he spoke a few - very few words: “Bill is not a man for many words”, he said, but among the few he spoke that day were words I will never forget—”this is my happiest day ever.” There is something very powerful in feeling you have pleased your father and I’m glad I had the chance to do that. He never failed to support me - any of us, but my brothers were more skilled than I in so many ways and many of the jobs they could do for themselves, he did for me without cost or compliment. Little or big jobs wherever I lived, were never too much for him and he could, quite literally turn his hand to anything. A neighbour said at home on the night of his wake, “Bill Sherlock could weld snow!!” I’m certain he’d have given it a go!! Years ago, I mentioned him on the front of another bulletin in another parish. It was Father’s Day and I wrote a letter to him. After Mass, a woman approached me and said she was so happy I had done that. She then added: “Give them flowers while they can still smell them.” She was right. So Bill, 100 years on, thank you and may God grant you rest and bless you. kilmoveeparish.org @kilmoveeparish CORONAVIRUS Coronavirus, officially known as COVID-19, is a respiratory illness which has not previously been seen in humans.

  • Chapter 2 Core and Settlement Strategy
    Draft Mayo County Development Plan 2021-2027 CHAPTER 2 CORE AND SETTLEMENT STRATEGY 2.1 Introduction The Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy for the County Development Plan has been prepared through extensive collaboration between the Forward Planning team, Elected Members and all relevant sections of the Council. It has also been informed by the National Planning Framework (NPF), the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Northern and Western Region, the UN Sustainable Goals and the Strategic Economic Drivers influencing the sustainable future growth of County Mayo over the lifetime of the plan and beyond. The challenge is to build on the unique dispersed settlement characteristics of Mayo, in order to provide a balance, link and synergy between the rural countryside and urban settlements of the County. This will be realised through the following vision for County Mayo and the strategic aims set out below. 2.2 Vision of County Mayo ‘To create a sustainable and competitive county that supports the health and well-being of the people of Mayo, providing an attractive destination, as a place in which to live, work, invest, do business and visit, offering high quality employment and educational opportunities within strong and vibrant sustainable communities, whilst ensuring a transition to a low carbon and climate resilient county that supports high environmental quality.’ 2.3 Strategic Aims The strategic aims which relate to the advancement of this vision, are set out hereunder for each chapter of Volume 1 of the County Development Plan. The Plan aims to build on previous successes and to strengthen Mayo’s strategic advantage as a county, to ensure that we meet the needs of our citizens, communities, built and natural environments, infrastructure and economic/employment development to their full potential, while combatting and adapting to climate change.

  • Western Rail Trail
    Western Rail Trail Recipient: Iain Douglas county planner, Peter Hynes County Manager, Lisa Chambers TD, Dara Calleary TD, Enda Kenny TD, Minister Michael Ring TD, Minister for transport Shane Ross, Cllr Michael Smyth, Cllr Sea... Letter: Greetings, I have just signed the petition for Greenway on the closed for 40 years railway line from Swinford to Charlestown. I want a greenway on this closed railway not a Velo-Rail which is what the county plan proposed. Following extensive public consultation in 2012 The Swinford Vision for the Future survey was published. Over 1,000 people were surveyed in the Swinford/Charlestown area for this really important survey which Mayo county council partly sponsored. One of the main recommendations of the Survey was to create a greenway (walking and cycling trail) on the closed railway from Swinford to Charlestown, connecting two neighbouring Mayo towns with a traffic free pedestrian and cycling route. In 2013 Mayo county council received almost 300 submissions on the county plan asking for a greenway on this route; Mayo County Council refused to adopt this simple idea for the county plan despite massive public support and despite what the Swinford Vision for the Future survey asked for! Mayo county council did not receive a single submission asking for a velorail yet this is what Mayo county planning executives put in the county plan, ask why they did this?. Councillors need to ask the county planning executive why this happened. They need to ask the county planners why the closed railway was conveniently labelled as "disused" in the county plan when the National Transport Authority, Irish Rail and Department of Transport define the line as closed.

  • Lost and Found
    Parish of Kilmovee Church of the St. Celsus’ Church, Immaculate Kilkelly “A family of families” Conception, Kilmovee St. Patrick’s Church, St. Joseph’s Church Glann Urlaur MISSION STATEMENT he Parish of Kilmovee is a Christian Community, committed to making everyone welcome through meeting in liturgy, prayer and friendship as we bear witness to the love and Tcompassion of Jesus Christ. Fáilte roimh gach éinne. 18th August 2019 20th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME LOST AND FOUND he gospel at Mass on Tuesday last was about the shepherd with one hundred sheep, losing one and searching for it until he found it. The image presented was of a man, happy with the find and T pleased to restore the sheep to the flock. It is said that the shepherd can identify each sheep - the Lord would say, by name and Pope Francis often reminds bishops and priests that they should know “the smell of the sheep” - in other words, know their people. There is something important being said in that; something about knowing the lives of the people among whom we live. In thinking about that gospel I had an image of a field filled with things and people that are important to us. Maybe family, health, friendship, love, faith, peace, joy, strength and so much more. Imagine something going missing from that field. For example friendship with someone. The shepherd in all of us is asked to leave the field and search for what is missing. This may well mean leaving the other gifts behind in the field so that the searching may be done.

  • Submission from Swinford Triathlon Club in the Development of Cycle Routes in the Swinford Area
    Mayo Development Section Mayo County Council RE: SUBMISSION FROM SWINFORD TRIATHLON CLUB IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CYCLE ROUTES IN THE SWINFORD AREA. Dear Sir/Madam, With reference to above we believe that a developments those outlined in this submission has the potential of providing immense benefits to not only the local cyclists but to the local com- munity as a whole and indeed to the greater Mayo , South Sligo and West Roscommon areas. As Knock International Airport is located so near , Swinford is ideally located and provides a gateway to a broad range of tourist attractions. These benefits are discussed briefly in the concluding chap- ters of this report. Though the Covid 19 restrictions have reduced traffic volume on our roads, the normal volume of traffic has increased significantly since these proposals were last submitted over six years ago.
