14th Sunday in Ordinary Time 3rd July: Focus: Rejoice in the love & compassion of the Lord. – In the reading from Isaiah, we hear that as a mother comforts her child so, too, does the Lord reach out to comfort us. Understanding this, it is important that we open ourselves to the Lord. If we are open to feeling the Lord’s care & compassion, it will bring us strength & peace of mind as we walk our daily journey of faith.

Carrowmore National School Reunion: Saturday 13th Aug 2016 (revised date) will see the doors open in Carrowmore School if only for a short while. A past pupil's reunion is planned for the picturesque stone School House that lies at the foot of Knocknashee in South Sligo. Carrowmore School was opened in 1834 & before it closed in 1973 was the oldest National School building in the country still in operation. Since that time, the school has remained idle apart form a refurbishment by Mullinabreena Parish a number of years ago when it also became a miniature school museum & Visitors Centre for a short period but now it is vacant again. The reunion experience will involve a tour of the old school, meeting the teachers, viewing exhibits, a browse through the old roll books & of course, the customary school lunch! Later in the evening there will be a further get-together at the Mountain Inn, in the company of some of the more musical pupils who attended the school over the years. Those who would like to attend can get in contact right away to state their interest. Then, whether you are home or away you can plan your return to Carrowmore at your leisure.

NOTE: If any past pupils have old photographs from their time in the school, the organizing committee would like to get copies for the purpose of exhibition & possible publication.
