PLAQUE UNVEILING

PLAQUE UNVEILING TO COMMEMORATETHE SISTERS OF CHARITY This Sunday (28th) at the 10.30am Mass we will bless and unveil a new commemorative plaque in the church to honour the invaluable ministry of the Sisters of Charity in our parish since 1866, until their departure earlier this year. Many of the sisters who lived here in Tramore over the years will be present at the Mass, at 10.30am on Sunday. Immediately after Mass, we invite you to remain in the church for a few moments as the plaque will be blessed and officially unveiled. Once again, we give thanks to God for the presence of the sisters in our community for so long, who have left a lasting legacy in the areas of education, healthcare and pastoral charity.

Ordination of Rev Shane O’Neill 19 July 2015

ORDINATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD OF SHANE O’NEILL On Sunday 19 July, Rev. Shane O’Neill, who has been studying for the priesthood for the last six years will be ordained a priest for the diocese of Waterford and Lismore in his home parish of Knockanore.   This is of course a cause of great celebration and delight especially for so many of us here who were blessed to have Shane among us two years ago as part of his studies and pastoral experience training.   Due to the limited space in the parish of Knockanore, the Ordination in the church will be relayed to the school next door where people may wish to go, or indeed to the First Mass of Thanksgiving which takes place on Monday evening 20 July.   Fr Shane will be in Holy Cross Tramore, on Thursday 23 July to Celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving at 7.30pm for all the parishioners who got to know Shane so well in his time here. Everyone is welcome and Shane will give the traditional ‘first blessings’ after the Mass.   We wish Shane every good wish and blessing in these final weeks of prayerful preparation towards his journey to priesthood.
