Dúirt Eric Prestage ón bparóiste,  

“Tá áthas orainn go mbeidh seirbhís i nGaeilge ann le linn na Féile.  Tá pobal an pharóiste báúil leis an teanga agus ba mhaith linn an spiorad sin a chothú. Anuas ar seo, táimid ag nochtadh comhartha nua i nGaeilge taobh amuigh den Séipéal  ionas go mbeidh fhios ag gach duine go bhfuil fáilte ann don Ghaeilge i Séipéal Naomh Séamas”.

Beidh an tUrr Máirt Hanley mar threoraí ar shiúlóid oidhreachta a bheidh ag tosú ó Chill Maoilchéadair ag 2.30 i.n.  agus ag críochnú suas ag Riasc timpeall a cúig a chlog.  Dúirt an tUrr Hanley, “Tá suim ar leith agam i oidhreacht na tíre, ach go hairithe ár gcultúr ceilteach.   Tá samplaí maithe ann de stíl beatha manachúil le feiceáil ar an tsiúlóid seo agus ba mhaith liom go mbeadh eispéireas spioradálta againn go léir ann. Tá fáilte roimh chách.”

Tá an seisiún traenála ar 7 Bealtaine, eagraithe ag Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise, á reáchtáil do chléir agus léitheoirí na hEaglaise a bhfuil suim acu bheith i mbun seirbhísí  i nGaeilge curtha ar athchló.  Beidh dáta nua againn go luath.  Má tá suim agat bheith páirteach linn, téigh i dteagmháil le Caroline Nolan 026 45741 nó 085 1632772.

Have a Spiritual start to your Summer this weekend, as Gaeilge
6 May 2012:  Celebration of the Holy Eucharist,
St. James’s Church, An Daingean at 11.00
followed by a Walk Retreat at 2.30

Training Session for clergy interested in celebrating the Eucharist through Irish is postponed.

The Rev. George Salter will celebrate the Eucharist as Gaeilge in St. James’s Church, An Daingean on 6 May at 11.00.

Eric Prestage, Church Warden of St. James’s Church, said,

“We are delighted that there will be a service in Irish in St. James’s during Féile na Bealtaine/the Dingle Festival. There is a lot of goodwill towards the language in the parish and we hope this service will nurture this interest. We have also put up a new sign in Irish outside the church to show to everyone that there is a ‘céad míle fáilte’ towards the language in St. James’s Church”.  

The service will be followed by a Walk Retreat at 2.30 starting at Kilmalkedar and finishing up at Riasc around 5.00.  The walk will be led by the Rev. Máirt Hanley, who said,

“We have an amazing Celtic heritage which is very evident all around us here in Kerry.   There are great examples of monastic settlements and we will be looking at them as we engage in what I hope will be a fun and spiritual experience. Everyone is welcome to come”.

7 May 2012.  Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise is organizing a training session for members of the clergy and lay readers so that they can feel more confident in presiding over a service through Irish, or participating in a bilingual service.  This session will now take place at the end of May/early June.  If you are interested, please make contact with Caroline Nolan on 085 1632 772.
