The Bell Shrine
Our Society is rejoicing in the very successful hosting of events on Friday 23rd May 2025.
The first event took place in our Church at 7pm. This very special ceremony was conducted by Fr. Hennessy with the Choir’s participation and Joe Small in attendance. Needless to say, the central part of this ceremony was the blessing of the bell shrine which would not be in the Church but for Joe Small.

The second event took place in the magnificent GAA Sport Complex at 8pm. This was a splendid example of how organisations can combine for the good of the wider community. Here Jamie Groome gave an excellent lecture on the Bell Shrine.

Finally, the official launch of “For the honour and glory of the Little Village” was conducted by former Irish Ambassador Joe Small, who won an all-Ireland minor Medal with Tipperary seventy golden years ago. This was followed by significant presentations and entertainment culminating with quality refreshments.

DAY FOR LIFE 2025
This year’s Day for Life, Sunday 15th June 2025, is an invitation to pray for those who suffer and to remain with them like the Good Samaritan, bearing witness to their unique and unrepeatable value. We see this closeness in the generous and fruitful service of healthcare professionals, whose mission continues even when there is no longer any prospect of physical healing. We see it in another way in families, carers and chaplains who support their brothers and sisters who are sick or frail or struggling with the many burdens of life. As Christians, we affirm them and hold out to them the hope of Jesus Christ who does not disappoint us. To read the full bishops’ message visit www.councilforlife.ie.
