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.

Trócaire Gifts are sourced locally and sustainably, so the gifts not only support families in the
world's poorest places, they grow the local economy too. When you buy a Trócaire Gift 100%
of your money goes to the developing world – buying gifts as well as funding critical work
around human rights, livelihoods and HIV. You will receive a card as a symbol of the Trócaire
Gift you have purchased. You can then give this card to a friend, family member or client to
explain the meaning of the gift. Alternatively an e-card can be emailed directly to your chosen
recipient. You can enter a personal message alongside a description of how your gift will
support families and communities in the developing world. See www.trocaire.org/gifts for more
information. Thank you.
Parents Personal Development Programme - For people on a social welfare payment. A free

Indulgences: The word indulgence originally meant kindness or favour; in Latin it came to
mean the remission of a tax or debt. In Roman law and in the Old Testament (Isaiah 61:1) it
was used to express release from captivity or punishment. In theological language also the word
is sometimes employed in its primary sense to signify the kindness and mercy of God, but in
the special sense in which we consider it in our Church an indulgence is a remission of the
temporal punishment due to sin, the guilt of which has been forgiven.
Used Postage Stamps: To date we have received close to 4,000 used postage stamps. If you
have any old or cancelled stamps, they can be left into the Parish Office or church sacristies and
we will send them along to the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart to support their work on the
missions. Stamps can be from any country but should not have tears, rips or damaged/cut
perforations. Many thanks to all those people who have already left in old and used stamps.
Arriving in the Church: Usually when we come into God’s house we bow our heads or go
down on one knee. This is called ‘genuflection’. It shows respect and love for Jesus. We
genuflect or bow in front of the tabernacle, the special place where Jesus is present at all times.
The tabernacle may be behind the altar or to one side of it. There will be a red light near the
tabernacle, called the Sanctuary Lamp. This light tells us that Jesus, the Blessed Sacrament, is
present inside. The Blessed Sacrament is another name for Jesus.
Peace and union are the most necessary of all things for men, who live in common,
And nothing serves so well to establish and maintain these as the forbearing charity
Whereby we put up with one another's defects.
St. Robert Bellermine
