Seats and kneelers at the front of the church have now been upholstered. Tried one out and I must report that they are very comfortable indeed.

Book Launch
We had a great time in St. John’s on Saturday, November 11. Vincent’s latest book is probably his best and most important book yet.
Kathy Buckley, a humble Listowel girl, daughter of Lar, the local cooper, ran the White House kitchen under three US presidents. Vincent has done a marvellous job of research on this one and the beautifully presented book is full of information, photographs and interesting stories from behind the scenes.
Finbar and Cathy Mare were in charge of sales.
Some of Vincents old Listowel friends gathered for the launch
John Cahill, Anne Crowley, Owen MacMahon, Elizabeth Moriarty and Kay Moloney Caball.
Katie Hannon launched the book for her childhood postman. She caught up too with Canon Declan O’Connor, a fellow Duagh native.

Cork may have been the butter capital of the world, but it’s Kerry Gold on the shelves (refrigerated) in the Chicago area.

Hi Sue,
Delighted to hear that. My preference is for Ór, the golden butter from my hometown, but I’m glad our scattered friends can get to taste delicious Irish butter in Chicago and beyond. M
