Next Saturday the 23rdNovember we will have our Annual General Meeting in the park at 7 p.m. All members aged 16 and over are eligible to vote. Nomination papers are available in Walsh’s Costcutters and must be returned by Wednesday the 20th November. We would like to take this opportunity to encourage everybody to attend and those interested in getting involved to come along. It is a great way to get to know people and give back to your community. The club is growing and additional volunteers are always needed. Volunteers are vital to the organisation and management of Borris-IleighCamogie Club.The time, dedication and energy they devote are of the utmost importance in keeping the club running and working well. Without volunteers the club would find it difficult to function and may cease to exist. This shows volunteers are extremely valuable and deserve praise, thanks and recognition. Anyone can volunteer, whether they are young, old, male, female, able bodied, disabled, employed, unemployed.
Administration: Camogie club merchandise now available Hoodies, tracksuits, t-shirts, jerseys and raincoats available. See Advertising Section of www.borrisoleigh.ie for pictures. If interested please contact Caroline at 086 1522716. You can also follow us on Facebook.

I am glad to inform the Borrisoleigh Website readers of the recent inauguração of our new Parish Centre in my parish here in Araioses, Maranhão Brasil. This building has been done with a major participation of the people of Borrisoleigh and Templederry who have constantly supported me in my work over the years. The principle function of this building is to offer to the poorer people a place where they can meet for a cup of coffee when they come to the town or chat with one of us priests, ( or a lay person trained to listen), to those who wish to share with us their problems and difficulties. We are three priests here in the parish and each day one of us offers a confession or counselling service in the New Secretaria. Its an important service to a people who are denied access to other professional helpers, such as psychologists and lawyers and other social workers. The other two priests with me are Brasileiros and are much younger than me and obviously have a much greater appeal to the people than the old Padre Matias !!
I´d just like to say thanks to all who have been supporting my work here in Brasil and especially to those who have been sending me money over the last few years through Marian Harrington from Templederry. She has been a marvellous support to to our Redemptorist Mission here in Brasil. So I finish up wishing you all a very Happy Christmas ! Matt

There´s a great variety to life on the Missions !!!. I generally use the Motor Bike to go to the Masses in the interior, but I also go at times by boat and often people come to meet me with a horse or mule when the roads are very bad.I am very lucky here to have two very good young padres with me and they prefer the town work to the County-side. I love hitting off to the hills and valleys and islands in the parish. It wasn´t by chance that I was born and brought up in the very rural setting of Cooleen !
