Dromin Athlacca Parish Harvest Celebration Congratulations to everyone
who took part in the Thanksgiving Mass on Sunday. We would especially like to thanks the Altar
society for their beautiful arrangements of flowers and vegetables, also to our
Choir for their participation. Every orginisation in the parish presented an
item to celebrate its success and continuation. The theme for the Mass was
thanksgiving. It's the time of year when people all over the world celebrate
the harvest and this year we have a lot to be thankful for, we celebrate the
fruits of our work, we celebrate our harvests, our achievements, our successes
at work, in exams, on the sports field. We celebrate the gift of family and
community. We give thanks for the abundance of God's blessing that we have
received. We would like to thank you all for joining us for this special
celebration. Refreshments were available in the community hall after Mass and
indeed everyone enjoyed meeting up with old and new friends.

Diocesan Synod: As we pray for the international Synod
in Rome, Bishop Leahy has confirmed that Limerick too is on the synodal
journey. We are preparing for the first Synod in Limerick since 1937! The Diocese of Limerick will from
December begin an 18 month period of reflection and listening as it builds
towards the first Synod held in Ireland since the 1950s and the first in the
diocese in over 70 years.
The Synod will be a three day-meeting of 400 delegates in Spring 2016 that will set out a path to enable the Diocese to meet the many challenges it faces going forward and ensure it can deliver, with a sense of renewal as well as partnership among all in the diocese, the message, ministry and mission needed for the future.
Between now and the official Synod launch on Sunday, December 7th the Diocese will be identifying the 400 Synod delegates, which will be drawn from across the Dioceses, and will collectively embark with the delegates on a process that will set out the key issues for consideration at the gathering in Spring 2016. If you are interested in becoming a delegate to the Synod contact Fr Mullins during the week. Parish representatives have to selected by the 22nd of October.

Match Results: The Dromin/Athlacca junior bs took to the field for the last time on Sunday the 12th in Caherconlish against Monaleen in the county semi final, but what they didn't know was this would be the last game they played. Matched reffed by Pat Coffee of Cappamore. Game started at 12:05 and Kieran Shortt playing midfield got stuck straight in making sure Monaleen wouldn't get the start they needed.
The ball was hit over the side line and Kevin McManus was first in it to the the first point of the game. This was quickly followed by a point by Monaleen levelling the game. Darren Moynihan takes the puck out for Dromin/Athlacca but won by Monaleen and they go for a shot at foal but its stopped in the line by Darren and cleared by Gary Costello, won again by Monaleen who take the lead with their second point of the game.. The men in blue and white need to start winning the high ball if they want to get onto of Monaleen.
Darren takes his puckout once again and its contested in the air by both teams but Monaleen collect the lose ball and its a point in their favour.
Quickly Darren takes another puck out and its hit out to Killian Liston who gives a high ball to Richard Ryan who points it giving Monaleen a one point lead.
Monaleen take their puckout but its read perfectly by Kieran Short who wins a free from it. Richard Ryan standing over the ball taking his time eyeing up the posts. Takes a deep breath and points the ball. The scores are now level.
Both teams working hard to be on top of the game but so far the teams are equally matched.. After half an hour of both teams trying to get one better on each other the half time score is Dromin Athlacca 6 points to Monaleen 5 points.
The second half started with the Dromin Athlacca side showing to be stronger with mike Meade playing well getting the better if his maker. Substitution for Dromin Athlacca and its Michael Walsh gone in for Joe power.
A lot of sides in this half by both teams. Monaleen seem to be getting lucky with their scores. John McManus playing a stormer clearing anything that comes in his path.
Mike Meade also playing great getting a point after running rings around his marker
Somehow Monaleen seem to be getting everything.
Second substitution for Dromin Athlacca and its Eamon o dea gone for Brendan Walsh. This poor Dromin Athlacca side just can't get a break today with the calls that have been made, but the fight is still there. Monaleen just getting on top that much more take the lead by 4 points. Not much left in this game. John McManus again clearing the threat making Monaleen work harder to get the ball into their possession but with a clash of Hurley's they somehow get it and its goal Monaleen. Time is not on the Dromin Athlacca side today and the ref blows up for full time.
This Dromin Athlacca side have played their hearts out but just fell short today. They have worn those jerseys with pride and I'm positive this won't be the last you hear of these men.
Full time score was Dromin Athlacca 7 points to Monaleen 1-10
