‘Killashee and Clondra Parish - A History of Faith’ was launched on Friday evening, June 19 in conjunction with the Golden Jubilee celebrations.
Following a Service of Worship and Thanksgiving held in St Paul’s Church, the book was officially launched in The Chestnut Tree, where a large crowd gathered to honour the faith journey of all those gone before us and celebrate all who strive to keep that faith and unity alive and thriving going forward.
Books are available to buy from committee members. A very special word of thanks to each and every person who contributed in so many ways to such a wonderful weekend of celebration.
Meanwhile, congratulations to Fr Jimmie McDonnell and Fr Shay Casey who celebrated the Golden Jubilee of their Ordination.
Fr Jimmie and Fr Shay were joined by family, friends and parishioners from near and far for a special Mass to mark the occasion and celebrate the wonderful work they have both carried out during their ministries.
The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Paul Connell, who was joined around the altar by many other priests who shared the religious journey with Fr Jimmie and Fr Shay.
