The pandemic has left us all somewhat afraid, confused, deprived and wondering. Yet, when we can, we should celebrate in a safe manner. The Faith Community of Ballycahill are celebrating the bicentenary of the building of their church this year. The celebrations planned for May were put on hold. A commemorative booklet was compiled and over the months grew to book-size. It records the varied history of the community in articles by Willie Hayes, priests who ministered in the parish over the years and members of the community. Through photos and witness statements, it records samples of the faith of the people past and present and the vocations nurtured in this parish. It helps to join us with the generations who worshipped here in times of persecution, poverty, famine and war. The work and faithfulness of the past generations needed to be recognised and commemorated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A limited number of books were printed and are now available in the shop at Holycross Abbey (Monday to Saturday 10am to 4pm, Sunday 11.30am to 5pm &#8211; closed for lunch 1pm to 1.30pm). It is an opportunity for us to have a quiet celebration and read over the Christmas. We plan to celebrate in a more tangible way on 8th May 2021 when we can hopefully gather together in joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s Celebrate and Hope.
