SHANNONBRIDGE GAA Club development meeting on Monday 17th July in Shannonbridge Hall at 8.30PM Following On from last club meeting in Clonfanlough Hall, there will be another important meeting next Monday evening to decide on fundraising for developments being proposed out at the Football pitch. Ideas thrown to the floor at the last meeting included New floodlights around the pitch, a walking track, electronic scoreboard and further improvements around the playing fields and dressing rooms. In order to make all this happen we need input from all corners of the parish. We had a very healthy attendance at the last meeting 3 weeks ago and we would hope for the same next week!

CRISIS IN EAST-AFRICA – The Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference has announced that special collections at all Masses will take place across Ireland on the weekend of 22nd and 23rd July to fund life-saving aid for people currently affected by the devastating hunger crisis in east-Africa. Our President Michael D. Higgins has publicly supported this appeal. The money raised will be donated to TRÓCAIRE, the overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Ireland, which is delivering emergency food, water and health care to the 25 million people affected. Globally, this crisis has received very little attention. Appeals for aid are under-funded. The UN has received just 37% of the funding it needs to respond to the crisis in Somalia. The world is distracted by the actions of a handful of powerful politicians, while in East Africa millions suffer in silence. It is unacceptable for so many to go hungry.
2nd COLLECTION NEXT WEEKEND– JULY 22ND/23RD EAST AFRICA APPEAL
