STATION MASSES This is the time of year when we celebrate the ‘Station Masses’, a long-standing tradition in Ireland & and unbroken link with the faith and practice of our ancestors. We are looking for volunteers to host the Station Mass, even it is not your ‘Turn’, or/and having it for the first time; or you may simply wish to have Mass in your home.

HURLERS PRAYER Grant me O Lord, a hurler's skill, With strength of arm and speed of limb Unerring eye for the flying ball And courage to match whate'er befall May my stroke be steady and my aim be true My actions manly and my misses few No matter what way the game may go May I rest in friendship with every foe When the final whistle for me has blown
And I stand at last before God's judgement throne May the great referee when he calls my name
Say, “you hurled like a man; you played the game”. Seamus Redmond
