Upcoming Feast Days Feast of All Saints – Sunday, November 1st A Holy Day of Obligation - Mass as Normal Feast of All Souls - 2nd of November This is a day we traditionally remember our

faithful departed

. Mass as follows: Castledockrell – 9.30am St. Aidan's - 10am St. Senan's - 7pm Marshalstown - 7:30pm Upcoming Feast Days Saints Simon and Jude 29th of October St Simon, Apostle Simon is eleventh in the list of the twelve Apostles.

He is known as Simon the Zealot, but nothing else is known about him.

His other name of “Simon Cananaeus” simply adapts another Hebrew word for “zeal” and has nothing to do with the town of Cana.

St Jude, Apostle Jude, also called Thaddaeus, is the apostle who at the Last Supper asked the Lord why he showed himself only to the disciples and not to the world.

For many centuries he was scarcely venerated because people confused him with Judas Iscariot.

He is the patron saint of lost and desperate causes.

Let us pray for the p roper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of se lfishness, it may always be put at the service of the common good and solidarity with those who have little.

When you lose someone you love, Your life becomes strange, The ground beneath you becomes fragile, Your thoughts make your eyes unsure; And some dead echo drags your voice down Where words have no confidence Your heart has grown heavy with loss; And though this loss has wounded others too, No one knows what has been taken from you When the silence of absence deepens.

Flickers of guilt kindle regret For all that was left unsaid or undone.

There are days when you wake up happy; Again inside the fullness of life, Until the moment breaks And you are thrown back Onto the black tide of loss.

Days when you have your heart back You are able to function well, Until in the middle of work or encounter Feast of All Saints ÐÐ1st November 2026 As we enter the winter, we come to the Sabbath time of year, when nature rests.

In our anxiety to go places and do things in our busy lives, we miss things in the world about us and lose opportunities for grace.

A sense of Sabbath, a commitment to taking time and space out of our busy lives and giving it to the sacred, can restore our openness to grace and make us alive to the miracles around us.(Sr Stanislaus Kennedy, Gardening the Soul) Reflection on the Gospel for the Feast of All Saints In todayÕs Gospel, Jesus invites us to follow the c hallenging yet life-giving Way of the Beatitudes.

He calls us to choose humility, compassion, justice, and peace over wealt h, power, and popularity.

This way of life asks us to look be yond ourselves, show mercy, and stand with those who are struggling.

The Beatitudes are more than words to a dmireÑ they are an invitation to shape our choices each How can we live them more fully and bring GodÕs love and hope to those around us?Get Your Candles This Weekend Let a candle carry your love and remembrance to those who have gone before us.

Candles and LED candles are av ailable at St MaryÕs Church, Kilmore, this weekend and for the next two weeks.

Call in to get yours and remember your l oved ones in this special way.

They are available at the top of the church with a donation of two euros per candle.

All are warmly invited to the Memorial Prayer Servi ce at St MaryÕs Church on Monday, November 2, at 7.00 pm. After the service, we will walk together in a candl elit procession to the graveyard, where we will pray for our departed loved ones and place our lights on theirg raves.

ALL THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE IN THE PAST YEAR ARE INVITED TO LEAD THE PROCESSION. Praying for the Dead in November, beginning with the Feasts of All Saints and All Souls, the Church invites us to pause and remem ber those who have died.

In a world that moves quickly and often leaves little space for reflection, taking ti me to pray for our loved ones is a meaningful act of love.

It keeps their memory close and expresses our faith in the Communion of SaintsÑthat we remain united in GodÕs love, even in death.

In all our churches, you can p ick up a November altar list of the Dead and write out the n ames of all your loved ones and place them in the specia l place reserved for them at the top of the church.

As Pope Leo reminds us, reflecting on death can hel p us recognise what truly matters and choose how we want to live.

Remembering those who have gone before us can inspire us to cherish the people beside us, live with greater kindness, and place our hope in God.

NEWS & REFLECTIONS St PeterÕs Church Kilmore Quay Co Wexford VRev Fr. Patrick Mernagh: 086 2256794

Suddenly with no warning, You are ambushed by grief It becomes hard to trust yourself.

All you can depend on now is that Sorrow will remain faithful to itself.

More than you, it knows its way And will find the right time To pull and pull the rope of grief Until that coiled hill of tears Has reduced to its last drop.

Service of Remembrance Wexford General Hospital is holing their annual Ser vice of Remembrance at Clonard Church, Wexford on

Thursday 12th November 2026 at 7.30pm. The Service of Remembrance is particularly intended for families and friends of those who died at Wexford General Hospital over the past year or who have a strong connection with the hospital.

However, thes ervice is also open to anyone who wishes to attend.

Date for your Diary Kilmore Community Choir will be holding its annual Christmas concert in St Marys Parish Church on

Monday 14th December. Further details will follow.

We look f orward to seeing you there. Jesus himself commonly points to things like the redsky, ahen, lilies, the fig tree, a donkey caught in a pit, the birds of the air, the grass in the field, the temple animals that he released from their cages, and on.

He was clearly loo king at the seemingly ÒnonreligiousÓ world, ordinary things all around and appeared to do most of his teaching outside.

Imagine how different the world would be if we just obeyed that one commandment to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. (Richard Rohr) Autumnal Coffeemorning with Tomhagg ard Women’ s Shed in Kilmore Parish Hall on

Blessed Sacrament Chapel: Special Intentions History Notes - Part 147: GAMBLING FOR BUTTONS As small boys, we regularly visited Jack Cahill, a tailor, in Michael Street.

His real name was Broadway but wife’s name was Cahill by which he was known.

Our knock was answered by his wife who was deaf but most welcoming.

She chatted away to us but never answered our questions.

Jack sometimes passed rude remarks to her for our amusement in the sure knowledge that she could not her him.

We passed her through the hall and kitchen and into the back room where Jack sat on a table with his legs crossed surrounded by his work.

Jack produced a pack of cards and a handful of buttons for each of us from his button box.

We gambled determinedly with our buttons which were then returned to the box.

Mrs Cahill showed us the beautiful mock peacock butterfly on the kitchen wall near the ceiling.

She assured us that it regularly flew around the kitchen but always returned to the same spot on the wall.

Satisfied with our entertainment and viewing of the mysterious butterfly, we trotted off.

This event is open to people of all faiths and of none.

Tea and coffee will be served afterwards.

The Service is organised on an annual basis by the End-of-Life Care Committee at Wexford General Hospital.

This committee is comprised of staff from all areas of the hospital.

Their work includes organising the Service of Remembrance, implementing initiatives such as the writing and sending out of sympathy cards, refurbishment of the mortuary and family rooms, providing written bereavement information for relatives and developing education programmes for staff.

Wexford General Hospital would also like to inform people about the Bereavement Support Line which is available from 10am to 1pm, Monday to Friday on 1800 80 70 77. This is a national Freephone service that has been set up by the Irish Hospice Foundation, in partnership with the HSE, to provide connection, comfort and support for those grieving in these exceptional times.

Any adult who has been impacted by bereavement may contact the support line.
