It is that time of year again when the Parish Liturgy Group renews the Altar Servers Rota for the next 12 months. In the Parish of Listowel we strongly encourage our children and young people to participate in this very special ministry of serving at the table of the Lord. We wish to thank our Servers and their parents for their continued service and dedication. We invite any boy or girl from 4th, 5th or 6th Classes, either current or new servers, from any of our local schools, to be a Server in the new rota beginning in October. Fr. Declan will make Application Forms available in each of the Parish schools during the coming week and should a boy or girl be going to a school outside the Parish, application forms are available through the Parish Office. When you receive your Application Form, we ask both the parents and child to read carefully and to fill it in and bring it to a short meeting of the Parents and the Servers on Tuesday, 30th Septemberat 7.00 pm, in the Church. This meeting is mandatory in order to inform all present of the Kerry Diocesan Child Protection Policy. It will be finished by 7.30pm. Many thanks for your co-operation.
