At around 6pm this evening I was putting some stuff into the boot of my car. I left the boot open as I went inside for some more bits and pieces and there was an unmerciful downpour of rain. By the time I got to the car, the bits I…
Just thought I might share a few words used earlier at Mass in Kilmovee. A sort of a ramble, in ways, but hopefully it makes a bit of sense!! When we were in Maynooth one of our deans told us quite early on that the gates were always open and…
Was in Knock last night for final Mass of Annual Novena. Very impressive gathering. The Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Charles Brown, was the Peincipal Celebrant and homilist. He spoke about his experience of the Church in Ireland since arriving here about five months ago and set the need for and belief…
Occasionally I’m asked “How is Alpha doing?” so thought I’d add a recent photo or four!! Took these the other day. I hope you’ll agree he’s looking okay and that I’m not neglecting him …….
My mother’s 3rd Anniversary takes place this week (August 21st) and we will remember her on that date at Mass in Kilmovee at 10am, R.I.P. Remembering her these days of the Novena in Knock as it was one of her favourite places to be for many years. Remembering all those…

Earlier today, we gathered in the old Dominican Abbey at Urlaur in the parish of Kilmovee. It’s the traditional day for the Urlaur Pattern. The weather, though uncertain, did not keep people away. We had Mass at 12.30, concelebrated by Fr John Maloney, myself and two priests from the parish…
I got the DVD yesterday that John J.McMorrow took on the day of the Mass of Thanksgiving in June. It’s a very good DVD and a nice record to have. I know the fullness of its value will be more evident at a further remove from the day but it…
