Our New Missal and a Common Posture at Mass

Sr. Mary Dalton — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 13:37:55 +0000

On the 1st Sunday of Advent, the new English edition of ‘ The Roman Missal’ was fully introduced. In Kildare and Leighlin Diocese, we are also introducing a common practice of posture at Mass in accordance with the Missal. We hope that a common practice will help make people feel even more welcome and at home in whatever Church in our diocese that they attend the celebration of the Eucharist.

Monsignor Brendan Byrne

Sr. Mary Dalton — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:16:41 +0000

We congratulate Monsignor Brendan on being the winner in the Category of Social leadership in 2011 RehabCare Carlow Person of the Year Awards. Monsignor Brendan was the first Parish Priest to be appointed to Tullow in 1989 and is Diocesan Administrator for the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin at the moment. He celebrated the Golden Jubilee of his ordination to the priesthood this year, so 2011 is a special year in his life.

He is being honoured for his social leadership role in promoting great services in the parish of Tullow for the past twenty two years. Throughout those years he has played a pivotal role in the development of Tullow and in bringing a vast array of services to the town and the parish. There are many projects in the town that he has encouraged, such as the Parish Centre, Tullow Day Care Centre, The Resource Centre, the Cairdeas Centre, TCDI (Tullow Community Development Initiative) and many others which have helped the parish of Tullow and its surrounding areas.

While Monsignor Brendan prefers to remain behind the scenes, he is delighted for Tullow and its community with this leadership award. We, as a parish, wish him a happy and enjoyable night on 18th November as a recipient of the Social Leadership Award.
