Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession
Our 4th Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession took place last Sunday week, 26th June 2011, and, in the opinion of most, if not all, of those who participated in it, it was the best so far! Fr. Pat Crean-Lynch, P.P., would like to thank all those who helped to make it such a pleasant and prayerful experience for all who took part. He would like to thank in particular Bobby Fitzgerald and Tony Riordan who helped with the all-important stewarding and helped to take care of the First Communicants. It was lovely to see these children dressed up once again in their First Holy Communion dresses and outfits, and the girls did an excellent job in spreading the rose petals in front of the Blessed Sacrament prior to the Benediction down in Clogher Cemetery! Fr. Pat would also like to thank Noel Keane for helping with the sound and Tom Horan for providing the red carpet leading up to the altar in the cemetery.
Special thanks to Sr. Bernardine and the choir members who turned up, for they greatly enhanced the celebration with their singing and they also led us in the recitation of the Rosary . We are particularly grateful to the 5 altar servers who participated and whose help was invaluable : Claire Kenny, Aine Rice, Alusin Jah, Joseph and Eoin O’ Callaghan. Special thanks too to Tom and Mary McCarthy for putting up the colourful bunting and flags at the church and at the cemetery and for helping along with the Clogher Cemetery Committee to have the altar area looking so well! Fr. Pat would also like to compliment Madeline Woulfe and her household who put up a beautiful altar in order to welcome Jesus as He passed in front of their home. It was great too to have the canopy again this year for the Blessed Sacrament and thanks are extended to Patsy Scanlon, John O’ Connor, Tom McCarthy and John Rice who helped to carry it over the Blessed Sacrament, carried by Fr. Pat himself, from the church to the cemetery.
Finally, thanks are extended to everyone else who helped in any way and to all who participated in the procession, making it such a memorable occasion on a really lovely, sunny summer’s day, and, for that, we thank the Lord Himself!

The New Missal : The new translation of the Roman Missal, will be introduced in parishes from the First Sunday of Advent, November 27th 2011. Among other things, the revised Missal will include updated translations of existing prayers, including some of the well-known responses and acclamations of the people and will also include prayers for the observance of recently canonised saints e.g. St. Pio of Pietrelcina, and the National Proper of Ireland.
The implementation of the new translation will be a challenge. From September 11th , the new translation will be available in your parish newsletter and parishioners will have an opportunity to become familiar with the new phrases of our prayer. The changes for the congregation are not too many, but nonetheless, it will take time to become familiar with them. Copies of the changes for people are now available in your parish church.
Our period of intense preparation from September - November 2011 will allow us all to begin to know and use the new translation, as well as deepen our understanding of our celebration of the Eucharist. During the months of September and October, there will be meetings in each of the 12 pastoral areas of the diocese, offering people support and guidance for the successful introduction of the Missal at local level.
A workshop for choirsand musicians will be held on September 29th and will provide new settings for the parts of the Mass, as well as new music for Advent and Christmas. For more information and background to the new translation of the Missal, check out
