Do you enjoy knitting?
Do you have oddments of baby wool? If so maybe you would consider knitting a Matinee Jacket for premature babies. Please ring the parish office at 462 6006 (am) to get a pattern if you don’t already have one.
Mothers Union Members in our diocese produce a supply of knitted bonnets, blankets and jackets for babies that are gratefully received by the maternity hospitals.
Did you know Mothers Union Dublin Diocese of Dublin & Glendalough have a web site? www.dublin.mothersunion.ie - Miriam Gibney

SAVE OUR CHURCHES
Some of you may have read the recent article in The Sunday Telegraph about the ‘Save our Churches’ campaign in England which is being run by the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church.
Britain’s places of worship provide a vital service to their local communities but are under threat as never before. The campaign is calling for the government to increase funding for the conservation of places of worship; for government grants to be introduced to enable places of worship to become focal points of the community; Listed places of worship to maintain a full rebate for VAT on repair work and that the government should make it easier for place so worship to be adapted for community use.
Perhaps, we here in Ireland should consider such a campaign. We know from our experience of maintaining our Church and buildings here is Tallaght what financial pressure it puts on our Parish!

School News, June '08
These will be the final notes for this school year as things are getting just a little hectic here!
At last the long awaited news has come from An Taisce, that we have been awarded our first Green Flag. We are really over-the-moon about it and very thankful to Ms. Edel McGlynn and the Green School Committee for all the hard work organising everything. Edel attended the presentation of the Green Flag ceremony on Friday 23rd May, three children from the Committee attended with Edel. Now we have to get the flag pole in situ and organise the flag-raising ceremony here!
On 23rd April the children in 3rd, 4th with Ms. Annette Boles and 5th and 6th class were part of a record-breaking attempt called The Big Lesson, children in 120 countries world-wide were taught the same lesson on Access to Education for all children in the world. Thank you to Mr. Charlie O’Connor TD who was our independent witness to the attempt on the day. It was successful!
The children from 5th and 6th class went to the Gallery of Photography in Temple Bar on Tuesday 13th May. The title of the exhibition was “What Remains”by Alison Locke and Chris Anderson.
On Monday 26th May the staff will be involved in training in the Maths programme used in DEIS (Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools) Schools Ready Set Maths.
Our School Tours start on Friday 6th June with Junior and Senior Infants and Edel going to the Lambert Puppet Theatre and the playgrounds in Dun Laoghaire and Blackrock. 5th and 6th class are going to Royal Breffni, an adventure centre on the borders of Meath and Cavan. 1st and 2nd class, with Ms. Caroline Rountree are going to Sealife in Bray and Tallaght Adventure World.
Annette with 3rd and 4th class is going to Lullymore, which is a Heritage Park with an adventure centre. 5th and 6th class will be going to Bushy Park to play tennis on full-sized courts on Thursday 12th June with their coach Ms. Carmel Brookes.
Sports Day will be on Friday 13th June and we hope to raise the Green Flag on that day also.
The long-awaited Arts Festival will be on from Monday 16th to Friday 20th June. Alternative Entertainments have given us a full programme of Film, Construction and Printing and various different genres of Music.

Rector's Letter - April 2008
A Word from William
On Friday 7th the Women’s World day of Prayer Service was held in St. Aongus. Thank you to Valerie for helping to organising the local area service. Mary Hendrick of St. Aongus parish gave the address on the story of ‘Mary and Martha’ and made the point that we should all take time to pause in our busy lives.
The Archbishop moved his usual Maundy Thursday service for clergy to Tuesday 18th . The commissioning of lay readers including Daphne Harvey, from Blessington parish, who has been with us in Tallaght also took place.
We concluded our Lenten worship in Holy Week and unfortunately the funeral of Mark Patton took place on Good Friday, a young man who I married just a few years ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
We celebrated Easter with a full church and thank you to Janet Edgely and the ladies who decorated the church so beautifully, as they do on a continuous basis throughout the year.
On our family service on the 30th it happened to be ‘Doubting Thomas Sunday’. Our Indian Parishioners have a special affection for St. Thomas. He is reputed to have brought Christianity to India and they have the same feelings that we in Ireland would have towards St. Patrick. The story goes that St. Thomas went to India as an architect to build a palace for a prince. However, St. Thomas out of pity, gave away the money to the poor and could not build the palace. He was put in the prison. That night, the King’s brother died and he was told the beautiful palace beside the river in the heavens was his brothers. He came back from the dead and told the story to the King. They were later converted to Christianity.
The Boy’s Brigade organised tea / coffee after Church in aid of the Laura Lynn Foundation (children’s hospice) after the family service in March. It’s the BB Ireland’s chosen charity of the year. They managed to raise the sum of 500 which will be sent to BB Ireland to forward to the Foundation.
God Bless William

SCHOOL NEWS, April 2008
Ms. Edel McGlynn got a very positive response to our Green Schools application in the form of a letter from An Taisce. There were just a couple of suggestions made and there have now been sent on to the committee.
The Bà Gnóthach project “Baking Blasters” went really well this term and a total of €351.51 was raised by the children in 5th and 6th class. This will be sent to the Peoples Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). 5th and 6th class went to the secondary school finals and award ceremony on Friday 7th March. It was very interesting to see the work produced by the secondary schools.
We are delighted to welcome back three past pupils currently in Transition Year in St. Mark’s, to teach volleyball to the senior children. It’s lovely to have Stephanie Graham, Rebekah Connolly and Ailish Berkeley with us again for 6 weeks.
The children in Junior and Senior Infants with Edel and Ms. Geraldine Healy, Special Needs Assistant (SNA), went to the playground at Jobstown Enterprise Centre on Friday 7th March. Started out as a beautiful morning but…!
We returned to school after the Easter vacation on Monday 31st March and we have a very busy term ahead of us.
On Wednesday 2nd April the children from 5th and 6th class are going to the Arts Centre for a Drama Workshop.
Edel is taking the Infants to Newgrange Farm on 10th April. The Infants with Edel, Ms. Caroline Rountree’s 1st and 2nd class and Ms. Annette Boles’ 3rd and 4th class are participating in the Skipathon, for the Irish Heart Foundation on Friday 11th April.
1st and 2nd class with Caroline and Ms. Bernie Dixon, (SNA) and 3rd and 4th class with Annette are going to Glenroe Farm on Friday 18th April.
The staff is attending an Active Playground Workshop on Wednesday 23rd April. We feel that the new games are badly needed for the play-times.
The school photographer will be coming on Thursday 24th April and we will be involved in the National Spring Clean on Friday 25th April. The children will be dressing up in “Fancy Head-Gear” for the event!
On Tuesday 29th April, our DEIS (Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools) cuiditheoir, Ms. Erica Mulholland will be speaking to the staff about the programme, Ready Set Go Maths.
Finally children from 5th and 6th class are participating in a Basketball Tournament, organised by the Gardaà on Wednesday 30th April, in the National Basketball Arena. Ms. Karen Mooney, our multi-talented secretary, coaches the Basketball Team.

Rector's Letter - March 2008
A word from William……
The 6th February saw Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent. We have been having weekly Lenten services on Wednesday evenings where we have been looking at the ‘Hard Gospel’. So far, we have covered the subject of Faith and Ethnicity, Faith and Sexuality, Faith and Tradition and Faith and Patriotism and as this goes to print we still have to cover the subjects of Faith and Class, Faith and Young People, Faith and Gender and Faith and Age.
At our family service on 24th February we were delighted to welcome Blessington parishioner Daphne Harvey who is training as a lay reader. She will be with us for three Sundays. Daphne led the service while I preached the sermon. Many of you may be familiar with Daphne, her daughter is St. Maelruain's Parishioner Jenny Devine. Daphne and her family often come to St. Maelruain’s on special occasions like Harvest and Carol services. Thanks to Valerie for working with the Sunday school children in preparation for the song they sang at the service
The family service was followed by tea / coffee provided by our Sunday School in aid of their Lenten project CMS in Kenya. They raised €576.75. Thank you to Sunday School Superintendent Douglas Bailey for organising the event and to Amy who stepped in to help due to the absence of our other Sunday school leaders Thomas and Sourena who were on holiday in India.
Mothering Sunday was on 2nd March, although many may think of it as a ‘Hallmark Holiday’ it is a reminder to give thanks for our Mothers and all that they do. Thank you to Regina Donoghue and Janet Edgely for the lovely posies they made, which were given to the ladies in the congregation.
Normally on Mothering Sunday, in recent years, we have had a Discovery Service here in St. Maelruain's as Mothering Sunday is a big day of celebration in Africa. This year, the African ladies felt it would be insensitive to Annama, one of our leading Indian ladies, as her husband John, our Churchwarden, has been in ICU in hospital since 25th January. So the decision was made to hold a healing Mothers Day service in the Chapel of Tallaght Hospital. It was lovely to see Donald Seale at the service along with his wife Theresa and their neighbours. Donald who for so many years was a faithful worshiper here in Tallaght has unfortunately been in and out of Tallaght Hospital over the last few years.
At the service we also prayed for John. He has been back in Tallaght Hospital following surgery in Beaumont for a couple of weeks and he has now moved out of ICU to the William Stokes Unit. While there has been a weekly improvement in his health, he still has a long way to go. Please remember John, Annama and their children Sharon and Sybil in your prayers. Thank you to Rev Obinna Ulogwara for organising the service, to Valerie for playing the organ and to Amy and Patricia for the refreshments after the service.
While on the subject of healing, as a member of the Diocesan Healing Committee I have been asked to take the lunch-time healing service in St. Anne’s, Dawson Street on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
I would like to wish all the readers of the Losset a very happy Easter. We look forward to this time of year of renewal with the trees budding, spring flowers blooming and the sound of birds nesting. May Easter also be a time to remind us of our spiritual growth and renewal.
God Bless, William.

Mothering Sunday was on 2nd March, although many may think of it as a ‘Hallmark Holiday’ it is a reminder to give thanks for our Mothers and all that they do. Thank you to Regina Donoghue and Janet Edgely for the lovely posies they made, which were given to the ladies in the congregation.
Normally on Mothering Sunday, in recent years, we have had a Discovery Service here in St. Maelruain's as Mothering Sunday is a big day of celebration in Africa. This year, the African ladies felt it would be insensitive to Annama, one of our leading Indian ladies, as her husband John, our Churchwarden, has been in ICU in hospital since 25th January. So the decision was made to hold a healing Mothers Day service in the Chapel of Tallaght Hospital. It was lovely to see Donald Seale at the service along with his wife Theresa and their neighbours. Donald who for so many years was a faithful worshiper here in Tallaght has unfortunately been in and out of Tallaght Hospital over the last few years.
At the service we also prayed for John. He has been back in Tallaght Hospital following surgery in Beaumont for a couple of weeks and he has now moved out of ICU to the William Stokes Unit. While there has been a weekly improvement in his health, he still has a long way to go. Please remember John, Annama and their children Sharon and Sybil in your prayers. Thank you to Rev Obinna Ulogwara for organising the service, to Valerie for playing the organ and to Amy and Patricia for the refreshments after the service.
While on the subject of healing, as a member of the Diocesan Healing Committee I have been asked to take the lunch-time healing service in St. Anne’s, Dawson Street on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
I would like to wish all the readers of the Losset a very happy Easter. We look forward to this time of year of renewal with the trees budding, spring flowers blooming and the sound of birds nesting. May Easter also be a time to remind us of our spiritual growth and renewal.
God Bless, William.
Obinna's Window
We recently had a guest preacher from London, the Revd. Canon Benjamin Enwuchola, the Chaplain for the International Community in the Diocese of London. Canon Ben was in Ireland on a six day consultation invitation by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) Ireland. Other parties include Dr Tani Omideyi of the Lighthouse Project Liverpool (an independent social gospel project): The redeemed Church of God and The Dublin and Glendalough Diocesan Chaplaincy for the International Community. My wife and I hosted Canon Ben during his stay in Dublin. He preached at our sister Parish (Whitechurch) on Ash Wednesday and preached here in Tallaght Parish on the 1st Sunday in Lent. He had since returned to London and has sent a message that he was very grateful to the Parish and enjoyed the fellowship we shared together.
The relationship between the parish and the Chaplaincy continues to grow stronger. The parish recently nominated five people to represent her at the Diocesan Discovery Parish Link Representatives. These representatives we hope will join in an initial training being organised by the Chalplaincy at the Diocesan level. They will be commissioned by the Archbishop after their training. Their main duty is to help the local church leadership to provide an adequate welcome and balanced integration in our churches.

School News March 2008
The first event that the children were involved in since we came back to school was during Christian Unity week, when we attended the Ecumenical Service in St. Maelruain’s Church, in Tallaght village. The children from 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class sang 2 songs and did a reading. This was a very worthwhile experience and the children sang beautifully.
It’s all systems go for Ms. Edel McGlynn and the Green School Committee. Edel has spent a huge amount of time putting together our “Application Folder,” well done to her. The children and parents on the committee are doing a great job too. We now have a Green Schools Code, selected by competition and written by Hannah Barrett.
“St. Maelruain’s School is green and cool
Recycle the waste without a trace
So go on give it a bash,
Take out the trash.”

Rector's Letter - February 2008
A Word from William
On Saturday 15th Dec. the Church was the venue for the fourth Christmas Concert by Anne Featherstone, teacher in the Leinster School of Music, and her students the Leinster Singers. It always proves to be an enjoyable evening and was followed by refreshments in the Parish Hall.
On the same evening our bowling club had their Christmas dinner which Valerie and I attended. It was nice to have the opportunity to congratulate the teams on their competition successes of last year.
On Sunday 16th at our 11am service our Primary School Carol Service along with their principal Iris McMenamin who accompanied the children on the piano. There was a larger than ever attendance of parents which was great to see.
That night we had our Nine Lessons and Carols service which traditionally has become an evening that we are joined by people from the wider community and by friends of the parish. As always, the service was enjoyed by all. Thank you to those who decorated the church and provided refreshments after the service.
I attended the Indian Marthoma congregation’s Carol Service, which was conducted in St. Maelruain's. After the service they showed a film, which aired in Indian TV on Christmas Day, about Indians in Ireland and featured shots taken of St. Maelruain's and various other locations around Dublin and Wicklow.
In addition to our Christmas services, we had our second New Year’s Eve service at 11pm. Traditionally we Irish get together with our family and friends on New Year’s Eve, but for those who may be thousands of miles from home New Year’s Eve can be a lonely experience. It was an enjoyable service. Thanks to Rev. Obinna Ulogwara who led the African singing and to Rev. Horace McKinley, who very aptly reminded the Indians that the ‘wise men’ came for the East
On 23rd January during Christian Unity Week we had a service in the Church with approximately 100 local secondary school children along with 30 or so of our own primary school students
It was great to see the Christian Unity service in St. Mark’s for the 1st time in recent years on Sunday 27th January.

Table Tennis
The table tennis club re-opened in mid-January after an extended Christmas break due to examinations that were taking place in the main hall. The club is delighted to have attracted a number of new members and club nights are buzzing! We always have room for new players of all standards so if you come along you will be very welcome.
This year we have two teams competing in the United Churches Table Tennis League. The first team is in Division 1 and comprises Andrew Seymour, David Gibbons and Sharon Gibbons while the club’s second team plays in Division 2 and comprises Bobby Wilson, David Gould and Stuart Gould. Unfortunately, Stuart Gould picked up an injury playing soccer and the club wish him a speedy recovery. We would like to thank those players who have acted as substitutes for Stuart.
On Saturday 26th Jan., twelve members of the table tennis club competed in the annual UCTTL championships. This was a record number of members to have played in this tournament from our club. All those who played enjoyed the day.
Congratulations to Claire Burke and Anthony Iyere for getting to the finals of a number of competitions (finals to be held in Raheny on Tuesday 29th Jan.).
Finally, anyone interested in playing table tennis please come along to the main hall on Thursday nights from 8pm. Andrew Seymour, Hon. Secretary.

Mothers' Union: Change to February programme
In December we had a demonstration of cookery from our Indian Parishioners. This was very good as we were given names of shops where we could purchase special items for this type of cuisine. Best of all, there were samples!
Please note that there is a change in February’s programme. We hope to go to the Tallaght Civic Theatre to see a play called ‘On Rafferty’s Hill”.
Please contact the parish office for further details. – Gail Sheridan Hon. Sec.

School News
Happy New Year to everyone from all the staff in our school; may it be a healthy and happy year for everyone.
We are coming to the time of year when we like to welcome back some of our past pupils on work experience. Thomas Duffy will be joining us at the end of the month.
Our architect, Ms. Ann Blackwell, sent us the planning notice to put up at the front of the school for the Parents’ Room and new Learning Support/Resource Room. Hopefully it will be going to tender soon and the building will commence when the weather improves.
The children in 5th and 6th class are taking part in an Enterprise Project called Bà Gnóthach, it’s a real learning experience for all of us and we’ll keep you up to date on the progress in the next notes.
When the class has decided what business they want to set up, market and hopefully make a profit from, it will involve some market surveying, business strategies, team work and financing. It should be very interesting. They have given us €100 to get started!
We will be involved in the Ecumenical Service again this year, for Christian Unity week, which will take place on Sunday 22nd January in St. Maelruain’s C. of I., in Tallaght Village.
The individual Parents meetings will take place before the mid-term break.

Boys' Brigade
It’s hard to believe that we are into our last session and are heading for our annual display. Christmas and the sponsored night hide, which took place on the wettest and coldest night one could imagine, seem a long time ago now! Well done to all the juniors and company section for an almost full turn out.
Both scripture exams have now taken place and we await results from them. Many thanks to the Rector who attended each Friday night and took bible class with both Junior and Company sections. We are very grateful for his help throughout the year.
Anchor Boys went to the Lambert Puppet Theatre recently to see Aladdin. No doubt they also had a great time at this popular venue. – Regina Donoghue.

Badminton re-opened after the Christmas break on 22nd January and we were delighted to welcome a new member, Ellen, who joined us on our first night back. We hope Ellen enjoyed her few games of badminton and the chance to get to know a few new friends. We were very sorry to hear that one of our members, John, was admitted unexpectedly to hospital at the end of January and we hope and pray that he will soon be restored to good health. We will miss him on a Monday night.
Finally at the start of another year if anyone is interested in taking up badminton you are very welcome to drop down on a Monday night to try it out. Kathleen McEndoo – Hon. Sec.

Since our last Losset, we have held two Drives. The first one on Monday 17th December with 15 full tables in attendance (a record) and the second one on Monday 21st January in the small hall with 13 full tables (a tight squeeze).
A special word of Thanks to Gail Sheridan who volunteered her services at our Christmas Drive and did trojan work and to Patricia Byrne who helped all year and has agreed to assist again in 2008.
Thanks also to my back up team of Sylvia Moody and Yvonne McGlynn, who look after the catering each month and also George and Hazel Walshe who help me prepare the Hall.
A big thank you to parishioners and friends who donate raffle prizes each month which enable us to make a donation to parish funds each year.
Again your continue support is much appreciated and our next Drive will be held in the small hall on Monday 18th February at 8pm. - Hon Sec. George Furney.
Thank you George for all hard work that you put into the Whist Drives each month. The Whist Drive made a sizable donation to the parish this year of €1,000.00 which is very much appreciated. – William.
