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.

How does Mass begin? Mass usually begins with a song or hymn and if we know the song we
should join in the singing. The words of the song might be on a hymn sheet or book on your
seat. When this song begins we know that it is time to stand up. We stand to greet the priest
who will lead us in prayer; in this way we are also greeting Jesus who is present among us.
The Opening Procession Mass always begins with a procession. There are different kinds of
processions. Sometimes there are lots of people; sometimes it is the priest on his own. The
procession might come from the front door or from the sacristy. Usually the procession includes
the priest and the servers. In some places the people who are going to read and help to give out
communion will also be in the procession. You might see one of the readers carry the book
from which the Gospel will be read. This book is called the Book of the Gospels.
