Saints Near and Far Most of us take great pride in our native county and, indeed, our native country.

We express that pride not in a vacuum, but by identifying with afewreal people who, in some way, represent our place of origin.

This is seen, for example, in s upport for a County GAA football team. On 10th May this year, Roscommon people took pride in their place of origin as the senior footballers lifted the Connaught title at Dr. Hyde Park.

Mayo people also connected with their roots in a way not seen in seventy-five years as they lifted the Sam Maguire in July.

Similarly, we expressed our Irishness not only through the Castlerea boxing duo, Aoife and Lisa O’Rourke, but also throug h those who represented Ireland in track and field at various world and European competitions.

When it comes to our faith, we can take pride in being catholic/christian.

Ag ain, this is borne out by clinging to names (and sometimes faces), not so much in the present, but from times gone by.

We identify with men and women renowned for living out their christian calling over the centuries.

These are the people we call ‘saints,’ and t his Sunday we especially celebrate them on the feast of ‘All Saints’. Our choice o f saint can depend on a few factors: a recommendation from a friend, the situation we’re in (illness or a lost purse), or a particular saint who is the patron of our country.

However, on this day we mustn’t forget the very familiar faces who are and were part of our families and friendships.

Despite not appearing on the official lis t of the canonised, through their devotion, care and love they have certainly reached sain thood.

So, on this day, let us not be afraid to seek the intercession of ‘all the saints’. Despite our weakness and sinfulness, let us take an example from their lives and push through our present sufferings, as we too can make our journey toward becoming saints. - Fr. Kevin PARISH NEWSLET TER 1st November 2026 ALL SA INTS DAY ANNUAL REMEMBRANCE MASS On

Dd Letting the Light Shine into the Church The company of the saints are our biggest cheerleaders on earth.

They are supporting us on our journey to heaven.

There are so many of them and they are of such varied backgrounds that you can’t but help find one that you admire and identify with.

Their ordinariness shows us that holiness is something we can all aspire to.

It is like the story of the little child who was staring intently at a stained glass window in a Church before the Mass began.

He caught the priest’s attention: “What are you looking at? ” the priest asked him.“I’m looking at the saints ” the boy replied.

After a few moments the priest asked him:“Who are the saints? ” After giving the question some thought the boy replied “Saints are the people who let the light shine into the Church. ” We are blessed that our Cathedral parish and our Cathedral itself is named after the greatest saint of all: Our Lady.

Reflecting on all of the saints is not nostalgia for the past or a history lesson: it is to receive hope for the present time.
