Sunday in Ordinary Time 10th July: Focus: The Lord’s basic law – love for God & love for neighbour – is written in our hearts. – While God is mysterious, the laws of God - & what the Lord wants of us – are easy to see & understand. For God has written his law in our hearts, & has revealed to us who he is through Jesus. Our God also lets us know one of the easiest ways to please him: loving him with our whole being, & loving & serving our neighbour.

 

SYMPATHY: We remember in our prayers at this time: Michael Scanlon, England, (brother of Paddy Scanlon, Carrowcarragh).  

May the Souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.

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.
