Thursday 14th October 2004
10am – 5pm
At St Patrick’s Church Hall, Farranthomas,
nr Newcestown
Private viewing by invitation 8 - 9.30pm Wednesday 13th October
Local Artists and crafts people are invited to exhibit pictures, crafts. Other skills on show/for sale may include homemade produce.
This is a fundraiser for sight Savers – a leading charity combating blindness in developing countries. Sight Savers’ vision is of a world where no one is needlessly blind. The charity works with partner organisations in poor and the least served communities to help establish and support permanent activities that prevent and cure blindness, restore sight and provide for people who will never see.
The exhibition will be by local people – amateur as well as professional who paint and make for pleasure. Our gift of sight (together with skill of hand) is precious and to be enjoyed.

Please come and support!
There will be a Vestry Meeting at 8.30pm on Wednesday 27th October at St Paul’s parish centre.
Orienteering - On 21st August the Girls’ Brigade Explorers had a happy afternoon tramping through the woods at Castlefreke as we made our way around, following clues. We shared the afternoon with the Clonakilty Brigades and finished with a wonderful picnic. Thanks to all who organised this event.
Wedding The sun shone down on the day of John Wilson and Mary O’Sullivan’s wedding, on 4th September. Music was by three young people, Mary Desmond, Maria and Sile Canniffe and the church was beautifully decorated with arrangements in a pink theme. We wish John and Mary a long and happy marriage together.
5th September –An interesting evening was had at Kinneigh Church when a speaker organised by the Copeen Archaeological, Historical and Culteral Society gave a talk on the Round Tower and the history of the monastic site. Meanwhile Judith, the Rector, was being made Warden of Readers at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral where it was good to see other members of the parish present and even two members from the congregation of Judith’s old haunt, Gloucester Cathedral, who were on holiday and just happened to be passing by!
12th September- The eagerly awaited gifts of new pulpit and lectern hangings and altar runners arrived with the Willis family from Virginia in the US. The hangings are beautifully made and are reversible in four seasonal colours, (white, red, green and purple) to follow the liturgical year. At the 11.30 Eucharist we had a joyful service of dedication and thanksgiving where Edmund Willis spoke movingly of his forebears who emigrated from Ireland to America in the 1880’s. We also said thank you to Frank and Kathleen Nixon for their generous gift of a large number of copies of the new Book of Common Prayer earlier this year. After the service there followed a sit-down lunch in Kilmeen Church hall where the Rector presented gifts (local pottery, a painting of Kilmeen Church and a BCP ’04) to the US contingent of the Willis family and various speeches were made. Our thanks to Betty Kingston and Frankie Stanley and many helpers for all their hard work in organising the lunch.
