Inter-Parish Act of Kindness: Autumn 2025





Fr Lorcán extends a world of ‘thank-yous’ to everyone across the parishes of Portroe, Burgess, Youghalarra and Nenagh who gave so generously to the Inter-Parish Act of Kindness for Autumn 2025.
The more-than-worthy charities selected for this season’s ‘act’ are Ruhama and the Society of St Vincent de Paul.
During the past number of weeks you were invited to donate tea, coffee and hot chocolate and you did so in your droves. The act of donating hot drinks is about offering physical warmth to the recipients of these gifts. It is also about the spiritual gesture of wrapping the kindness of our hearts around those in greater need than ourselves.
However small or large your contribution, thank you so much on behalf of those who will benefit from your effort.
The kindness of strangers is one of the most powerful of all the many acts of kindness.
NOTICE OF DISRUPTION: Work on St Mary of the Rosary Trees

Arising from the various storms in recent years and damage caused to St Mary of the Rosary Church, we recently commissioned a report on the safety of the trees on the Church roadside of St Mary of the Rosary Church.
The report was carried out by a professional Arborist.
The report has recommended a high-level pruning of the trees to include removal of two dead trees.
The work will take five days and will be carried out during the week commencing 27 October when the school mid term break is scheduled.
Full health and safety measures will be in place during the work
The roadway will be useable but the foot path on the Church Road side will be restricted to pedestrians during the work.
The grounds of St Marys will be accessible during the work, but we ask everyone to please be conscious of the work and adhere to the health and safety guidelines that will be in place.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation with this health and safety enhancement.
Your Parish Needs You!
