In Listowel we Remembered
November is the time set aside for remembering our war dead. In Listowel we have a dedicated band of volunteers who make sure we never forget.

Prayers of the Faithful were read by retired and serving members of the Irish Army reserve.
These last 2 screen grabs are of refugees from the war in Ukraine who prayed with us in English and Ukrainian.
The mass was celebrated by Canon Declan O’Connor, himself a former soldier of the FCA, and by Fr. Martin Hegarty.

Christmas as it Used to be
In this great little book, Stephen Newman has curated a collection of Christmas reminiscences from the National Archives.
I’d love if Listowel people would send us some of their own stories of Christmases past.
I remember a kind of novena we had. It was called “A crib for Baby Jesus” and there was a set number of prayers for each element of the crib and these had to be said every day during Advent.
