Feb. 3rd 3.15 pm. St. Blaise’s Day….Blessing of the throats Day….still a chance at 7.30 Mass this evening.
Boyle Ladies AGM on Sunday next Feb. 5th at 5. (I presume pm).
It is great toe see the continued increase in numbers of people out walking and now cycling around the Boyle circuits. Well done to Aaron and co. with the revival of cycling and good luck to the newly organised walking group. As short a time ago as 2007 when I restarted using the bike I was one of just a few and the use of the bike seemed terminal. There were a few old timers and I remember a Mr. Feely from Deerpark and a German (I believe) gentlemen and of course James Candon had his own design. The bike scheme in Dublin has proved a great success also. So we CAN emulate the Dutch when given the chance and encouragement. We are very lucky in Boyle to have such a selection of interesting safe walks.
Do not forget the Masses on Sunday in memory of Sean Kenny at 9.30 and Daragh Dooley at 11.30am.
This is a forward planning notice. There will be a Quiz on Saturday March 3rd in Kilronan Castle. I am coming out or retirement as quizmaster, for this occasion, with its implications! This is in aid of cystic fibrosis unit in St. Vincent’s hospital (I believe). It is being organised by the family and friends of one of my favourite students at St. Mary’s College i.e. Cian Costello who died in October 2010 aged 26. He was an outstanding student at the highest levels. At his funeral Mass in Ballyfarnon, Professor Dunne who was supervising Cian’s PhD studies spoke in glowing and moving terms of Cian as a person and as a scholar. There was a lovely graduation pic. of Cian on the Roscommon Herald at the time of his death. His dad Ben is the first person one meets, in his top hat, at Kironan Castle and his uncle Joseph, an old student pal of mine, works in Supervalu meats, Boyle. So spread the word on the date for this quiz night especially those who knew Cian at St. Mary’s.
