Congratulations to Indira Kelly, a student of Seamount College, Kinvara, who won the Sr Sarah Clarke award for her project analysing the fast fashion industry, using the tenets of Catholic social teaching.
The award was devised by Mia Joyce-Walsh to honour Galway-born social justice advocate Sr Sarah Clarke, and to help post-primary students to engage with Catholic Social Teaching. Indira’s project researched the ethical issues relating to fast fashion, and raises awareness of the need for fairness and human dignity in all aspects of clothing manufacture, sale, and purchase.

Our final episode of Fr (now Bishop) Robert Barron’s Catholicism Series will be screened in the Pastoral Centre at St Joseph’s Church, Kinvara, this Tuesday, 16th April at 7.45pm. This episode is about the Saints. Highlighting Saint Katharine Drexel, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, Saint Edith Stein, and Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Fr Barron tells the story of the Church as a vast company of witness who are called by Christ to be a Communion of Saints.
On Palm Sunday, we enter Holy Week, as we remember the enthusiastic welcome Jesus received when he entered Jerusalem, riding on a donkey, with the crowds waving palm branches and shouting ‘Hosanna!’ That atmosphere changed as the days went on, and so we read the Passion Gospel also, the story of Holy Week.
Reposing at his home on Sunday, 14th April 2019 from 4pm until 7pm. Funeral Mass in St Colman’s Church, Kinvara, at 12.30pm on Monday 15th. Family Service at Shannon Crematorium at 3pm.
Eternal rest, grant to him O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

The fourth screening of the Catholicism Series will be held in the Acorn Centre, at Ballinderreen Church, on Tuesday 9th April 2019 at 7.45pm.
This week’s episode will be on the Church, entitled ‘The Mystical Union of Christ and the Church: A Body both Suffering and Glorious’.
Fr Robert faces the issue of sin by Church members and the scandals that have caused so much suffering. He explains how the Church is a sacrament of Christ. We’ll see the life story of Pope John Paul II and we’ll find out what it means to say that the Church is one, holy, Catholic and apostolic. Fr Robert also explains the ideas of infallibility, apostolic succession, development of doctrine and the relationship between the Church and the Eucharist.
Again we’ll tour around the world and get to visit Rome, Paris, Krakow and Manila.
Those who have attended our screenings so far have been very pleased with these videos. You don’t have to have seen the others to come to this one. Each can be viewed on its own.
