THANKS FROM THE CHILDREN'S ROSARY GROUP: to Fr. Robert and the parishioners for your support of the recent bake sale. Your generosity, kindness, encouragement, and willingness to help made the event a wonderful success and by raising the amazing total of euro 922.95, we have covered the cost of the bus to Knock. We are also grateful to have been able to share the remaining baking in Ennistymon, to support the Clouna church restoration fund, thereby creating a practical example of Bishop Michael's vision for the North Clare Deanery going forward, where parishes work and cooperate more closely together. We are deeply appreciative of everyone who baked, helped, or supported in any way. Your continued support of this youth ministry initiative in the parish means so much. May Our Lady of Knock intercede for our country and our world at this time.
