We will also light one large candle remembering all those who have gone before us. May they
all Rest in Peace. Mass-card Signees & Deceased on our list will be prayed for on Saturday 8th

Souls. November is traditionally dedicated as the Month of the Holy Souls and by long-standing
Irish custom, many people abstain from alcohol for the month of November and offer this
sacriﬁcial act for the benefit of their deceased loved ones and for all the Souls. Those interested
can contact Jim Cully 046-9553144. Con Kane 046- 9551094. Colm Daly 085-7344488.
Thanks to all who attended Rosary in Derrinturn Cemetery during October. Rosary continues
in Derrinturn Cemetery for November on Tuesdays at 8pm in remembrance of the Holy Souls.
Family History Profile of the Shine Family: Fr. Eugene (Stan) Shine former P.P. of Carbury
(RIP) is fondly remembered by many people in Carbury. As a mark of respect to the Shine
Family, the Parish of Tinryland in Carlow are compiling a family profile of the Shine Family. If
anyone in our parish has any special memories, short stories, photos (copies will be taken) or
any other information on his life and times in Carbury that they would like to share, please
contact the Parish Office with this information and we will pass it on.

Derrinturn Tidy Towns: Due to a lack funding from all sources, Derrinturn Tidy towns are in
need of a source of income to be able to maintain the help and assistance of the Tidy Town
Scheme. Did you know that the average cost of maintaining our area is over €1,800 per year?
This covers insurance, PRSI Levies, maintenance and repair of equipment, fuel for equipment,
safety equipment, trees and shrubs, paint etc. In an effort to raise much needed funds they aim
to have people sponsor a light on our Community Christmas Tree, in remembrance of a loved
one or friend who has passed away. The money raised will go into our Tidy Towns Fund, which
is almost depleted. Please support this activity, to keep our village looking its best. If you feel
you would like to contribute to this worthy cause, and also remember a loved one, you can
donate at Edenderry Credit Union, Main office, Edenderry or at the Carbury Branch, just ask at
the desk. A mass will be offered for all those who we have been asked to remember.

come true. Concern Worldwide Shop offers unique gifts to suit all budgets. By giving a

Preparing the church for Mass: The Sacristan is a very important person in church. He or she
opens and closes the building, makes sure that it is warm and welcoming, prepares the altar,
lights the candles, puts out the necessary books and things needed for the Mass and makes sure
that there are enough candles, wine and altar breads for Mass. In most parishes there are people
who look after the cleaning of the church. They also make sure that there are flowers to
decorate the altar. They may put up the crib at Christmas and decorate the church building for
special occasions.
