Parish Retreat (Open to Everyone)
Directed by Fr. Flann Lynch OFM Capuchin
Theme: Christian vision, hope and possibility
This retreat will identify the thinking and attitude that undermines the vision and will discover the attitudes and tools that make the vision a reality in everyday living. Commences: 7.30 p.m. in St. Columba’s Church Burtonport on Monday 11th June for three nights. This coincides with the International Eucharistic Congress, and is an attempt to mark the occasion in our parish.

Adrian Ward’s Haiti Trip
We were working on an Island just off Haiti this time called Il e Vache ,its a little bigger than Arranmore with 14 000 people living on it, there’s no water, power nor even a road, only a stony gravel path that runs from one end of the Island to the other. The work we carried out was on an Orphanage & a School where they are left in because their parents couldn’t keep them because of disability or because their parents had died. It’s like travelling back 150 years in time; these people are being given a chance because of these places. I would like to thank you all for your help and support and prayers
