ambulance when it is required. Adults and children (from age 10) can avail of
our training which takes place once a week in your local community. And best of
all its free and only takes your time, one hour per week. Think of how you would
feel if you could help someone who needed medical attention.

A Kildysart lady now living in the U.S. wrote to me this Christmas to say that while she was at home this summer her sister who also lived in the U. S. had asked her to bring back some Holy Water from St. Michael’s Church, where she was baptised. She did so and gave it to her sister and she blessed herself every night with it. Later in the year she became very ill and her sister visited & helped the family take care of her. When she died earlier this month her sister & family were at her side & she took her sister’s hand and blessed her with the Holy Water she had brought her that summer. She felt great peace & joy. May all who belong to God’s extended family of Kildysart people at home & abroad experience the peace & joy of this Holy Season.
A very happy Christmas & New Year to everyone

The response to our Psalm this day is: “The Lord is compassion and love”.
In our Mass of Remembrance we bring before the Lord many of our community who
lost their lives in war. It is good to remember them and honour their memory.
They fought on different sides and under different flags, some were victims who
took no part in combat, others and their families carried the memories and
losses throughout their lives.
We honour those of different Christian Tradition who are one with us in our
common baptism. They are all young people, most are buried far from their homes.
May our celebration of this Mass help us all in our own struggle to live
Christ’s command “Treat others as you would like them to treat you”.
