Parish Financial Report to Dec 2012

June 25, 2013

It is a tribute to the people of the parish and to all who support the parish
that the repayments on the parish debt have been maintained in the past
year and we are making progress in reducing the debt.
During 2012, we also undertook a significant investment in the parish
church at Enniskeane with the installation of the pipe organ which came
from Clonakilty’s Mercy Convent. The installation required a reinforcing of
the choir gallery as well as a refitting of the gallery floor. It was also opportune
to rebuild the gallery stairs so that it all conforms to safety standards.
This extra work added a lot to the costs but it is all now finished and will be
a “job for life”.
At the start of 2012 the parish building fund debt stood at €145,413. During
2012, the monthly collections, fund-raising events and donations helped
bring the debt at the bank down to €67,277 by the end of the year.
2012 Finance Report to Parish

Ordination of Sean Crowley on June 1st

May 23, 2013

Our parish makes history next Saturday when Sean Crowley, Hollyhill, Balli- neen, will be ordained a priest in our parish church.

It is a special blessing for Sean, his family, relatives and friends, as well as for our parish and our diocese. Sean will serve as a priest in our diocese.

The Ordination by Bishop Buckley takes place during a concelebrated Mass. In some respects, the liturgy resembles a marriage ceremony — in that the Rite of Ordination happens between the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

A few practical things:-

Parking in the church grounds will be reserved for Sean’s family and people with limited mobility. St. Mary’s car park will be open. Parking is also available in the car park between the church and the school and — weather permitting — in the field beside the school.
The seats in the front half of the church (200 places) will be reserved for Sean’s family, relatives and concelebrants. The main aisle will be seated on a first-come basis (200 places).
There will also be seating in a marquee (approx 120 chairs) beside the church where the ceremony will be relayed on TVs.
The ceremony will also be relayed on the internet so that anyone with access to the internet, in any part of the world, can tune in. The link is:-
