Parish Pastoral Council met on Tuesday last and agreed to work on the following three areas
(a) More involvement in the celebration of the Mass e.g. choirs, readers, offertory gifts, church decoration and providing support and training when needed.
(b) How can the parish best respond to the needs of those who live alone especially as we enter the autumn/winter time of the year.
(c) Deeping reverence among us all in receiving the Eucharist and in the presence of the Eucharist.
A word from Fr. Joe Caulfield : I wish to thank most sincerely all who were involved, who came or who contributed to the farewell presentation function on Fri. 18th. It was a wonderful coming together of the whole parish of Rooskey & Carracastle. Personally, I was very happy with the appreciation & goodwill expressed, people's generosity and the special gifts received. My deepest appreciation to the members of the organising committee & the hall committee. I am enormously proud of the watch presented, it will be very special to me. I will offer a novena of masses for the intentions of the community.
Diocesan week of family prayer to mark the centenary of Fr. Patrick Peyton begins next week-end 3rd/4th October when celebrations of Mass will focus on Family Prayer.

As an encouragement to on-going family prayer a Living Rosary will take place in Carracastle Church on Wednesday Oct. 7th Feast of the Holy Rosary at 7.30pm to which everyone is welcome. A Living Rosary is where a different person leads each prayer to make a 'human Rosary beads'.
It would be good if each group in the Parish could have some representatives to lead the Living Rosary.
