Fethard Town Park - October Newsletter
Fethard T.Y. Students feeling positive!
Transition Year students from Patrician Presentation Secondary School are photographed while working on their 'positive' messages transcribed on The Square in Fethard on Thursday, October 22. 'Imagine, Dream Big, Kindness, smiling and happy were some of the words they worked on. The chalk words on the pavements should remain visible for a few days, but unfortunately, with the recent heavy rain will will be slowly washed away. People who passed by while the students were working were very impressed and commented how nice it was to see their work and loving the colourful messages.

November Cemetery Rosaries for the Holy Souls
The Legion of Mary traditionally led the praying of the Rosary in all thirteen cemeteries of The Parish during the Sunday’s of November. We now find that this practice is not in compliance with the current Covid Level 5 Restrictions in effect for the next five weeks.
We have made the following alternative arrangements as follows:
Each Sunday of November, after 11am Mass, the Rosary will be prayed with special emphasis on the designated Cemeteries for the day. Please join us online at parishchurch.net
Additionally for the month of November, The Rosary will be prayed for the Holy Souls, after the online daily 10am Mass. We invite all who can to join us again on line at, parishchurch.net Of course all are encouraged to privately visit the cemeteries also during November.
Please note, The Vatican has extended the time to obtain full indulgence for The Souls of The Faithful in Purgatory from the first week of November traditionally, to the full Month of November.
Sundays allocated for individual cemeteries:
The first will take place on Sunday, November 1, for the Presentation Convent Cemetery after 11am Mass; which will include the Parish Church Cemetery and Holy Trinity Cemetery (The Square).
On Sunday, November 8, The Augustinian Abbey and Everardsgrange.
On Sunday, November 15, Calvary Cemetery and Peppardstown.
On Sunday, November 22, Rathcoole Cemetery, Red City Cemetery and Tullamaine Cemetery.
On Sunday, November 29, Killusty Cemetery after 10am Mass; which will include Kiltinan Cemetery and Kilmaclugh Cemetery.
