The Changing of the Guard!


 Fr. Nicholas J. Irwin and Fr. Tom Hearne

During the recent diocesan changes the appointment of Fr. Irwin to be parish priest of Gortnahoe and Glengoole was announced. Fr. Irwin was with us in Borrisoleigh & Ileigh for over thirteen years and has endeared himself to many during that time. We take this opportunity to wish him well in his new parish and to thank him for all that he has done in our parish over the years.

May the road rise to meet him and may the wind be always at his back!

We also take this opportunity to welcome Fr Tom Hearne who is to be our new curate. Fr. Tom is a native of Mullinahone and has been working in the parish of Murroe and Boher for the last number of years. He is also the director of the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes, so some of our parishioners may know him in that regard.

We wish both men the very best as they set out on a new path in life.

 

May She Rest in Peace

Mary Lennon’s 89th birthday


Mary had her 89th Birthday down in West Cork and had a great day with her family. She has been very unwell in recent times and in fact was only out of the hospital 6 days ago.

Mary enjoying her birthday with some of her grandchildren and great grandchildren
 

Mary is pictured here with her son Michael and daughter Deirdre
She certainly has an indomitable nature and we pray she is here for a good while longer. She misses her Borris’ as she says, “nowhere quite like it”.

As a footnote, Mary was presented recently with the General Service Cross for her part in the last war, serving as a Civil Nursing Reserve in Manchester throughout the bombing by the Lufwaffe over the many years that laid Manchester almost flat. She recalls sharing out the butter that her mother sent to her sliced thinly in greaseproof paper with her nursing colleagues.

Amazing spirit and still going strong.
