CROSSABEG
Condolences
We extend our condolences to Catherine Logue and family, Ballyharran, Crossabeg, on the untimely death of her sister Aine Murphy-Roche, Coolcotts, Wexford town, which occured on Sunday, October 11th. Her Funeral Mass took place in St. Alphonsus Church, Barntown, on Thursday Thursday of last week, followed by burial in the adjoining graveyard. RIP.
Our condolences also to Tommy Kinlough and family, Monmore, on the sudden death of his brother Oliver at his residence, Dunboyne, Co. Meath, which occured on October 12th. His Funeral Mass was held in S.S. Peter & Paul Church, Dunboyne, on Saturday October 17th, followed by burial in Rooske Lawn cemetery. RIP.
Robert Kelly, Ballydicken, Crossabeg, died at his home on Tuesday, October 11th following a short illness. Although born in Dublin, his family moved to Tralee, Co. Kerry when Robert’s father Albert who worked for the ESB was transferred to the Tralee office, so Robert, his brother Alan and sisters Catherine & Angela became Kerry natives. Robert graduated from UCC with a Degree in Civil Engineering and worked on engineering projects with various companies, corporations, County Councils etc, all over Ireland, UK, Sweden, Eastern Europe, Ukraine and South Africa, making lasting friendships with colleagues along the way. He will be sorely missed for his enthusiasm, energy, wit and cheerfulness. His remains reposed at his home on Friday afternoon of last week, with funeral Mass celebrated in Clonard Church on Saturday morning at 11a.m, followed by a private cremation. To his wife Alina, son Albert, daughter Anastasia, daughter-in-law Charlotte, grandson Leo, brother, sisters, nephews, nieces extended family, colleagues, neighbours and friends we offer our sincere sympathy. May Rob rest in eternal Peace.

Parish meeting
By now Parishioners will know that the pastoral area of Castlebridge, Crossabeg, Oylegate and the half parishes of Screen, Curracloe , Glenbrien and Ballymurn have been reduced to the services of one Priest. Fr. Denis Kelly, who is based in Screen. Being an unchartered situation, it will take a while for a definite schedule of services to be arrived at. However, the process has begun.
Fr. Kelly will meet all three parishes over the next week and a half, Castlebridge, Screen and Curracloe, Wednesday October 21st at 7pm; for Crossabeg and Ballymurn on Thursday, October 22nd at 7pm in Ballymurn Church and for the Oylegate and Glenbrien areas on Wednesday, October 28th in Oylegate Parish House.
The meetings are open to all parish and pastoral committees, sacristans, readers, Eucharistic Ministers, Safeguarding Reps, collectors, choir’s baptism team, home visitation team and any Parishioner who might like to be part of the Pastoral Outreach. Following these discussions, fact-finding proposals for a way forward will be considered and as far as is practical, adopted. People have very kindly acknowledged that it won’t be possible to meet every need by virtue of the reduced resources.
