A Prayer for Refugees
Almighty and merciful God,
Whose Son became a refugee
And had no place to call his own;
Look with mercy on those who today
Are fleeing from danger,
Are homeless and hungry.
Bless those who work to bring them relief;
Inspire generosity and compassion in all our hearts;
And guide the nations of Europe towards that day
When all will rejoice in your Kingdom of justice and peace.
We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Islandeady Community Annual Sale of Work
SALE OF WHAT?
Q. What’s this Islandeady Sale of Work I keep hearing about?
A. It’s a big day locally. Every year we hold it in the Halfway House coming up to Christmas. Great place to pick up that Christmas gift!
Q. The goods are second hand, I presume?
A. Not at all. There’s a huge selection of goods from home baking to farm produce, fuel and hardware of every description.
Q. That’s it?
A. No, we offer a huge selection of books, toys, clothing and ornaments to suit all pockets.
Q. It’s a quiet affair then?
A. Anything but! There’s great excitement at the Auction. If you’re quick you can grab a great bargain.
Q. Mmmmm. Anything else in that line?
A. Yes indeed. There’s also a great buzz around the Wheel of Fortune. If your number comes up you could be heading home with a nice prize under your oxter for as little as 20 cent. Any time the tickets go to a euro the prize is well worth the chance!
Q. What do think I would like there?
A. Well, you are a curious individual. Why don’t you try to guess the weight of the cake. Get it right and you take the cake home. Or you could try to guess the number of sweets in the jar and win the jar.
Q. Sweets! That would suit young people down to the ground wouldn’t it?
A. Now you mention them, our Foroige club looks after the children in style on that day.
Q. What if I see nothing I like?
A. I doubt that. Go over to the voucher stand and you will see many bargains for restaurants, hairdressers, butchers, hardware and services of every description. You’ll be spoiled for choice!
Q. I'm dizzy listening to you. Are you finished yet?
A. Oh, it can vary year by year. But in that case it all gets too much for you, why not take a seat and sample some of the huge selection of delicious baking served by the ladies as you sip your cup of tea. Chips are also served. Yummy
Q. Where is all this money going anyway?
A. Mainly to the upkeep of our Community Centre. Here the Ladies Club , the Angling Club and Foroige meet, to name a few and they come from near and far to the weekly card games . It holds once-off events or regular ones. You have to book well in advance! It’s popular because it’s so clean, warm and modern with state of the art laundry and cooking facilities.
Q. Cooking?
A. Yes. If you came on Wednesday you would meet maybe 24 of our senior citizens enjoying a first class lunch and the chat and banter would cheer you up. Then they divide up to play cards or bingo and some join the art class. Sometimes this varies when visiting guests come to give a talk or when the group goes on trips. On days when musicians come along, songs are sung and foxtrots are trotted. Never a dull moment! That’s what we’re about in Islandeady.
Q. Well, this Sale of Work sounds interesting. What are the details?
A.
DATE: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 15th.
VENUE: HALFWAY HOUSE ISLANDEADY
TIME: 2pm
The AGM for Westport CCÉ will be held at Knockranny House Hotel, on Wed 7th Oct at 8.30pm. All are welcome.

Islandeady Ladies Football Club
Islandeady G.A.A. is delighted to announce that an officially recognised Ladies Football Club is now in operation. The officers are as follows: Chairperson, Rory Courell; Secretary, Kenneth Irwin; Treasurer, Seán McLoughlin; Registrar, Ann Graven.
Girls continue to flock to the club to register and enjoy playing football. Meanwhile the Pitch and Community Grounds Development Committee is working very hard behind the scenes to realise their aim of providing enough playing space for everyone. Their dream is fast becoming a reality as a great wide open space has appeared beside the main pitch. It will be seeded shortly, weather permitting. The club is grateful to all those people who bought tickets in the Development Draw and is proud of the results now on show. The walkway will soon be under construction and people of all levels of physical fitness will have wonderful amenities at their disposal.
