If you think you might like to give it a go just drop down some Monday to the Parish Centre. We can lend you a racket all you need is a pair of runners and a bit of energy!

School News

Yes, it’s September and we are back to school, although you don’t normally hear from us this early in the year! However, I thought I’d let you know that at last the new building has started. It will be great to finally have a Parent’s room and a proper Learning Support / Resource Room! We do have a little problem though, the architect has informed us that we are short about €5,000. If you have any suggestions as to how we may raise this money or wish to make a donation to the school, we would be eternally grateful. Thank you, Iris. 452 7933

VISIT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF LAGOS, NIGERIA

We bring you the good news of the visit of The Archbishop of The Province of Lagos, Nigeria, The Most Rev Dr Ephraim Adebola Ademowo (OON, FNAL) and his amiable wife Mrs. Oluranti I Ademowo.

Archbishop Ademowo and his wife arrived on Saturday 9th August 2008. They worshipped in our sister parish Whitechurch Parish where he preached and baptized his first grandchild John Ayomide Adebola. They were later treated to a sumptuous Dinner by The Archbishop of Dublin and his wife The Most Rev Dr John and Betty Neill in the Orlagh Retreat Centre.

The Archbishop and his wife also visited our two cathedrals, St Patrick and Christ church where they were accorded official reception and guided tour of the institutions. They later visited the Archbishop of Dublin in his house and after that paid a courtesy call on the Nigerian High Commission in Dublin.

They were full of praise of the warmth of the Irish people and their hospitality and said they will be visiting more frequently.

Archbishop Ademowo was presented with a special 60th Birthday card at the Dinner by Canon Patrick Comerford on behalf of the members of The International Community.

Rev Obinna Ulogwara was formally from The Diocese of Lagos and he was Chaplain to The Archbishop before his secondment to the Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough.

The Dinner was attended by Tallaght Parishioners as well as the good Rector, Rev William Deverell.

Archbishop Ademowo has since gone back and wishes us all every blessing with a grateful heart.
- Obinna

Recovery

I am delighted to be able to report that John Thomas, last year’s Church Warden has been discharged from hospital.

John, one of our Indian parishioners, was seriously ill in Beaumont Hospital and subsequently in Tallaght Hospital following brain surgery.

John has made a remarkable recovery so far. It was lovely to see him walk, with assistance, into Church and to receive a phone call from him (in English – his second language) while I was on holidays to let me know that he had been discharged from hospital. Remarkable, considering his prognosis was that it was unlikely that he would walk or talk.

We thank God for his recovery so far and we pray for his continued progress at home with the support of his wife Annama and their children Sybil and Sharon.

There is growing concern in our community about the impact of a proposed incinerator which would burn 365,000 tonnes of waste per annum near Rathcoole.
