Pastoral Teams for Funerals
Many older people remember what a wake in a house was like. Everyone helped out when someone died at home. The body was prepared and laid out. People visited to pay respect to the dead. Food was shared. Stories were told. Prayers were said. It was a good example of what the Church calls the ‘ministry of consolation’ in action.
In the introduction to its current funeral book, the Church praises this traditional approach: “The responsibility for the ministry of consolation rests with the believing community”, it reminds us: “each Christian shares in the ministry”. The parish funeral team is in continuity with this tradition.
When wakes were held in people’s houses, priests had little to do with the funeral rites until the body was brought to the church. It was the introduction of funeral homes that involved priests more, both on the Rosary night and for the prayers in the funeral home before the removal. In leading these services, priests replaced lay ministry; funeral teams restore the ministry of leading these rites to the lay faithful.
It is envisaged that funeral team members would share with the priest, or lead in the priest’s absence, the prayers in the family home or funeral home. They would also available to help families navigate their way through the funeral rites. They can provide help to families struggling to find the right level of involvement in the funeral rituals and can support the family all the way, in a way that priests could not hope to.
We will be offering this training and formation in Clonakilty Parish Centre
beginning on Thursday 18th February and continuing each Thursday until March 10th at 8pm. The final night on Thursday April 7th will be the Introduction to Presiding (leading public prayer). It is hoped to also offer the training and formation in the City after Easter in Frankfield Parish Centre beginning Wednesday 13th April at 8pm until Wednesday 11th May.  The night on May 11th will be the Introduction to Presiding (leading public prayer). If you are interested will you please give your name to Fr. Pat.

It was with great sadness that we laid to rest Donal O’Callaghan of Inchisine, Toames following a tragic accident at home. On behalf of the parish, I would like to extend sincere sympathy to his parents Con and Margaret, his brothers Niall and John, his girlfriend Karen and his nephew Conor. I can only hope that God in His mercy will help and support them through this very difficult time. We remember too all his friends and neighbours as well as his extended family. We can only help and support them through our prayers and understanding. Fr. Pat.

Baptism
We welcome into God’s community, Méabh Eibhlin Kelleher, Deshure who was baptised recently.

Hello everyone,
With the very untimely passing of Donal O’Callaghan, RIP of Inchisine, there was one thing that caught my notice and that was the dignity and respect his young friends and neighbours showed at all times. Despite their great and well justified anguish they turned themselves out well and were very dignified in their immense grief. The tractor cade as it approached the cemetery was sombre and courteous, a very fine tribute to Donal. As a community we have good reason to be very proud of them and I feel privileged to live in their presence. They are a credit to themselves, their families and all associated with their upbringing. I have no doubt that this permeates throughout every aspect of their young lives. May God bless, guide and keep them safe. Pat O’Donovan, CC

The annual Collection for the Education of Students for the Priesthood will take place on the weekend of September 24th/25th, 2016.  This Collection is the primary means whereby the Diocese funds our students in seminary.  You will be aware that over the past three years, the Diocese has had three ordinations to priesthood, we expect another next June and we have, at this time, five other seminarians at Maynooth.  I would ask you to encourage your parishioners to respond generously. I would also ask you to refer to it during Masses that weekend and in the parish bulletins. 
The need for vocations is a critical one for all of us and I would ask you to continue to include a prayer for vocations in the Prayers of the Faithful on Sundays and to encourage those whom you believe may be considering such a call to respond generously.  This issue should also be discussed by the parish assembly.  It is true that a word of encouragement from a priest is the greatest form of vocations promotion that we have.
With every good wish,
I remain,
Yours sincerely in Christ,

+John Buckley,
Bishop of Cork and Ross.

Our gift to the world is the joy of the Gospel and our Irish missionaries continue to bring the Good News to people throughout the world.
World Missions Ireland, the working title of the four Pontifical mission societies, organises the Mission Sunday collection in all Churches nationwide. Mission Sunday falls on the 23rd October. Our theme is ‘Every Christian is a Missionary’ . We can all do our part in an open, joyful and generous way. For further information on WMI or to make a donation please visit www.wmi.ie

NANO NAGLE FOUNDRESS OF THE PRESENTATION SISTERS
Nano Nagle, foundress of the Presentation Sisters, was made Venerable by Pope Francis in 2012. Since then we are actively encouraging prayer for a miracle which is required for her canonisation.
Nano set up several hedge schools in Cork in the 1700’s at a time when Catholic education was forbidden. She was a pioneer of Catholic education.
She founded the Presentation Congregation on Christmas eve in 1775, in South Presentation Convent. There she continued to work tirelessly until her death in 1784. She was fondly known as ‘The Lady of the Lantern’ due to the fact that was regularly seen moving through the streets at night visiting the old and lonely.
It is hoped that Pope Francis will visit Ireland in 2018 for the 9th World Meeting of Families. This will be an opportunity to ensure that the Pope gets to know more about Nano.
2018 is a very significant year for the Presentation Sisters also for the following reasons:
• It marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of Nano Nagle
• An international Gathering of Presentation will take place in 2018
• Phase 2 of the South Presentation development – Nano Nagle Place -will be completed that year
We are inviting you all to join with us in promoting devotion to Nano and praying for a miracle.
Prayer for canonisation of Nano Nagle

We are once again celebrating the Mission Month of October.
Little children of Ireland have a lovely day to look forward to this week.
The National day of Prayer for Children takes place this coming Friday, the 14th October.
Organised by the Society for Missionary Children, the occasion gives children a good opportunity to think of those children who are less fortunate, to pray for those less fortunate and to share with those less fortunate.
Children love to know that they are important members of a global circle of praying, sharing and caring, in this, the Mission Month of October. They have generous hearts, missionary hearts, and so are open to the idea of including other little children in their thoughts.
The National Day of Prayer is now in its ninth year.
For further information on the Society of Missionary Children or to make a donation please visit www.wmi.ie

We are once again celebrating the Mission Month of October.
Little children of Ireland have a lovely day Jesus told his disciples a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart. ‘There was a judge in a certain town’ he said ‘who had neither fear of God nor respect for man. In the same town there was a widow who kept on coming to him and saying, “I want justice from you against my enemy!” For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, “Maybe I have neither fear of God nor respect for man, but since she keeps pestering me I must give this widow her just rights, or she will persist in coming and worry me to death”.’
And the Lord said ‘You notice what the unjust judge has to say? Now will not God see justice done to his chosen who cry to him day and night even when he delays to help them? I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find any faith on earth?’ www.wmi.ie

Researching our family ties
My name is Pam Heald. I'm researching our family ties to Ireland for my dad, William Young, who is now 77. Daniel Carroll is my 4th great grandfather, and lived in Kilmichael Parrish in the the early 1800's/late 1700's.
Our lineage is:
Daniel Carroll 4th great-grandfather, no dates of birth/death
Patrick Carroll first (1808 - 1883), son of Daniel Carroll, married Honora Ring
Patrick Carroll 2nd (1863 - 1922), son of Patrick Carroll first, married Ellen McNamara
Norah Teresa Carroll nee Donahue(1890 - 1976), daughter of Patrick Carroll 2nd, married John Patrick Carroll in the US
Frances Irene Donahue (1915 - 2011), daughter of Norah Teresa Carroll, married William Young first
William Young second (19xx - ), son of Frances Irene Donahue
Pam Heald, nee Young
This was how I found that Daniel lived in Kilmichael:

We are once again celebrating the Mission Month of October.
Today is Mission Sunday.
It is the one day when we are specifically asked to dig into our hearts and minds and assist our Church’s universal mission.
Our theme for this years’ Mission Sunday is ‘Every Christian is a Missionary’. We all have the privilege of sharing God’s love and words with those who have not yet heard Him.
Pope Francis is an enthusiastic ‘promoter’ of this theme and is seeking to lead all of us in a joyful expression of our individual and unique missionary charism.
In his message for Mission Sunday the Pope says “As they travel through the streets of the world, the disciples of Jesus need to have a love without limits, the same measure of love that our Lord has for all people. We proclaim the most beautiful and greatest gifts that he has given us: his life and his love”.
The Irish missionary disciples need our spiritual and financial help today. We have some 1,200 men and women working in all corners of the world, each playing his or her part on the missionary journey.
Your financial help today is crucial to their work.
We can’t do it without you. Large or small, it makes a huge difference and we thank you sincerely for your help.
