Praying the Rosary: Most parishioners are aware that the Rosary is recited approx. half an hour, on most days before the Masses. In her messages, especially at Fatima, Medjugorje, and many other places, Our Lady has urged the faithful to pray the Rosary daily. St. Padre Pio has referred to it as the “Weapon of our Times”, so it would please the Blessed Virgin very much, if more people, especially children, took up her invitation, and joined the small Parish group in praying the Rosary. It is prayed for the conversion of Russia, Ireland, and the whole world, for the end of wars, protection from natural disasters, and that the promised, and, long-for reign of peace would soon be ushered in.

IT’S NO JOKE! SUPPORT THIS APRIL FOOLS DAY FUNDRAISER.
St. Fergus NS Glin Parents Council is delighted to announce that it will be organising a sponsored walk and coffee morning to raise funds to support school activities.  The event takes place on Saturday April 1st with a sponsored walk starting at the Knights Walk, Glin at 11am. Everyone, both young and old, is encouraged to walk on the day and ask their friends and family to sponsor them using the sponsorship cards that have been sent home in your child’s bag.  For anyone that can’t do the walk you can still lend your support by donating baked goods for the coffee morning that’s happening at 11am in Ceol Corbraí.
Joanne Stackpoole, Chairperson, St. Fergus NS Parents Council, Glin, is calling on parents and local businesses to get involved and lend their support.  You can support the fundraiser by:
–    donating online through the Go Fund Me page:  LINK: https://gofund.me/4d0e6e46

• donating a raffle prize, giving some company sponsorship, coming along on the 1^st  for coffee and cake!  What a lovely way to spend the first day of April.  For further details about the Glin gathering, keep an eye on local papers, social media and the parish newsletter.

Glin Rovers: will hold a meeting in St. Fergus Nation School, regarding the Astro Turf Facility, next Thursday night the 30^th March at 8:00pm. 

GB Rovers FC: Congratulations to GB Rovers FC players and U14 Limerick Desmond players Dylan Buckley and Sheagh Mulvihill, who were crowned U14 SFAI All Ireland Cup Winners on Saturday last in a nail biting same from start to finish including extra time against Kerry held at UL, Limerick. There was a huge crowd that came along to support both teams and unfortunately at any sporting event there can only be one winner. The U14 Limerick Desmond team came out on top, with a 3-2 win with guidance from manager Niall O’Connor and coaching staff Tommy O’Connor and Kevin Taylor. After a lovely presentation the players went back to the Tree House in the Woodlands Hotel where the celebrations continued.

Glin Rovers FC St Patrick’s Day €10,0000 Draw: There was great excitement on Saturday evening last at Barrett’s Bar as the €10,000 draw took place. Tickets were loaded in to the ‘cement mixer’ and the drum turned. The name pulled from the drum and the lucky winners were Caroline and Denis Murphy, Corbry Estate, Glin. Enjoy your winnings Caroline and Denis – well deserved.  Hogans Shop received €500 promotors prize. A sincere thank you to all who purchased a ticket and it was a great success. The Glin Rovers Lotto now returns to a Jackpot of €20,000 and will remain at this figure until it is won. Tickets can be purchased from all usual ticket sellers, local shops and on line at www.clubforce.com, select find my club, enter Glin Rovers and purchase your tickets.

Glin Tidy Towns: Spring has arrived, and it is that time of year when we can get back out and enjoy the longer evenings. The weather is getting warmer, and the plants and flowers are beginning to bloom. With that in mind and with us all starting to come out of hibernation, it is time to think of Glin Tidy Towns and all that it represents. Our volunteers are scheduled to restart their clean-up/planting/painting etc on Wednesday evenings from 7pm to 8pm. We welcome any new volunteers, and the meeting place is outside Glin Library. We are appealing again to everyone living in Glin (or anyone outside Glin who may own a property or site), be it private homes, rentals, holiday homes, vacant properties etc and all businesses to please come on board and take care of your property and the area outside your property. It was mentioned in the Tidy Towns Report of 2022 that there was evidence of moss on the streets which had come off of roofs. This year, Tidy Towns does not have the manpower to sweep outside people’s properties, which has been done in previous years. Glin is a beautiful, pretty village and it is the envy of many a person who would love to live here. We are appealing to everyone to take pride in their place. It would be lovely to see properties painted, more window boxes and flower pots added, and the fronts swept and clear of litter. It is unfair to those home owners, who take the time to look after their properties, to live next to a property that looks unkept and neglected. To those who do fill their flower boxes please keep in mind pollen-rich flowers (Plant a pot for Pollinators) which are suitable as food for the bees. Thank you to everyone who makes our job a little easier. Again, we encourage new volunteers young and old, and if that is not possible, then please help by taking pride in your place to keep Glin looking beautiful and welcoming. Our Motto going forward is, “PAINT UP, CLEAN UP, KEEP IT UP”! From all the volunteers in Glin Tidy Towns.

Please email any notices you would like to have in the newsletter to: office@stfergusns.ie

The newsletter will be available again after the Easter Holidays.

Congrats Dylan Buckley and Sheagh Mulvihill, All Ireland winners with the U14 Limerick Desmond team.

Glin GAA club proudly celebrates 125 years of existence this year. To mark this significant milestone, we are writing a book on the history of the club from 1898 to the present day. Many who have made valuable contributions to this period will have memories of their first involvement with the club, the fields around the parish they played in and will remember great teams and players. Perhaps also, people may have old newspaper clippings, photographs, match programmes and medals kept which would be of great interest to us in preparing this book and will allow us to best tell the story of Glin GAA over the past 125 years. Our book committee has begun the process of interviewing people and shortly, for those comfortable with technology, a questionnaire link will be sent around where interested individuals can make their own contributions. We will be holding an evening in Glin in the next while where old Glin GAA photographs, medals etc. can be brought in to be photographed and scanned, and the owners can share their stories relating to them. If anyone would like to be sent the questionnaire link or wishes to be interviewed, send an email with your details to glingaabook@gmail.com, contact us through our Facebook page www.facebook.com/glingaa, or contact James O’Donovan on 087 2311156 or Tom O’Donovan on 086 1710136.
Glin Baby & Toddler Group:  See you all on Friday 24th from 10am in Ceol Corbrai Hall. Family contribution €3

The Club Limerick Draw (Mackey Stand) is now up and running for the coming year. The links on how to join are posted on our Glin GAA Facebook page. You can also ask any member of the club for advice or contact our Draw administrator Carmel Leahy on 087 2897310. You have the choice of buying a ticket for each monthly Draw individually or buying a yearly ticket with a discount. If you’re interested, the first Draw is on the end of March so entrants have to be in by the first week in March. The year part was the most successful ever in terms of Club winners. With Donnie Lyons winning €3000 in May, Dennis Woulfe winning €250 in June, Michael Dillane winning €100 in July, Mary Dunne and Michael Wallace winning €500 each in the December Draw. Hopefully we can keep this winning streak going this year. This is a great way to support our club and county in one draw with the main prize every month €10,000. All support is greatly appreciated.
Glin Rovers F.C. would like to thank the following who recently bought a Brick on our Supporters wall as part of our Astro Pitch Fundraiser. Dunnes Bar, Padraig & Nollaig Hogan, Huge & Mary Dunne, Johnny Culhane, Patrick & Ann Horan, Noel Lynch – Cork, Anthony Scanlon, Eddie and Mary Sheehan, Joe Martin, Pa and Jackie Reidy, The Mall in memory of Maura and Patrick and Joe & Kate Sweeney in memory of Joe & Catherine Sweeney, Scenic View.  More names to follow next week……

Daily Lenten Prayer 

Today Lord, I choose life,
I choose your love and the challenge to live it and share it,
I choose hope, even in moments of darkness,
I choose faith, accepting you as Lord and God,
I choose to let go of some part of my burdens,
day by day handing them over to you,
I choose to take hold of your strength and power ever more deeply in my life.
May this truly be for me a time of new life, of change, challenge and growth.
May I come to Easter with a heart open to dying with you
and rising to your new life, day by day.

Amen.

Glin Development would like to thank Adams of Glin and Inver Fuels for their very generous donation of E1000. The funds will be put to good use to enhance our beautiful town of Glin.

Thank You: G.B Rovers FC would like to thank John MacNamara, former treasurer of GB Rovers FC. John held multiple roles within the club until he retired at our last AGM. Not only did he take great care of the books, but he was a coach, a mentor and the man that had all the answers, when the rest of us looked around and scratched our heads! A man of wisdom and character and a figure who is already missed within the club. John had hoped to relax and take a break from committee roles, but a good man is never left alone for too long! John is already back in the saddle as a treasurer for another up and coming project and they are lucky to have him. Thanks for all your hard work and commitment over the years to GB Rovers FC it was hugely appreciated.

There is a matched funding element of 10% of total cost of the project. Glin Development relies on fundraising activities to ensure we are in a position to be able to apply for such projects.

Glin Development Association are pleased to announce that grant aid funding of E12,591.45 has been awarded by CLÁR.

Glin Development put together a lengthy submission and application for funding in April last to replace the existing exercise equipment at Glin Town Park. There is a matched funding element of 10% of total cost of the project. Glin Development relies on fundraising activities to ensure we are in a position to be able to apply for such projects. Thank you to everyone who continually supports Glin Developments recent fundraising activities.

The existing exercise machines are no longer fit for purpose and are in situ for many years. Glin Development is very pleased that our bid for this very much needed funding has been approved.

CLÁR (Ceantair Laga Árd Riachtanais) or Funding for Small-Scale Rural Projects is a targeted investment programme which provides funding for small-scale – infrastructural projects in rural areas that have suffered the greatest levels of population decline.

We look forward to having new exercise equipment in Glin Town Park for all to use and enjoy!

Glin Triathlon: took place on Saturday 3rd September. It was a most enjoyable and successful event. Triathletes arrived early into town and volunteers even earlier to have everything set up for the big event. Glin pier looked spectacular with the sun shining. The event started with a swim at 11am sharp, following with a cycle to Bolands Meadow, Foynes and a looped run up Cahara, Clonoughter turning at Costello’s crossing and finishing in the Square Glin. Triathletes travelled from all parts of the country and were delighted to be part of the event.  A huge thanks to everybody who gave their free time helping in the success of the day.  

A Church Gate Collection for Milford Hospice will take place on this Sunday, September 11th, 2022 before the 11am Mass. Please give as generous as possible.

Glin Development Association were delighted with the turnout for the Glin Castle Open Day on Sunday last.. The sun shone down on the castle and gardens for the entire day, and we could not have asked for more.

Glin Development would like to sincerely thank Madam Olda Fitzgerald and her daughter Catherine Fitzgerald for their generosity in allowing the Open Day event to take place. We would also like to thank Marie-Therese Costello, Manager of Glin Castle, and her staff for being so welcoming and professional on the day. Thanks also to all the tour guides who did a wonderful job in the house and also thanks to the guides who did the wonderful garden tours. There was a great take up for the Raffle on the day and again thanks to all the sponsors of the prizes. And last but by no means least, a huge thanks to the organisers of the event, the hard working volunteers of Glin Development and Tidy Towns, and The Men’s Shed. Without this hard working bunch, the day would not be possible. All proceeds from the day will go towards the maintenance and upkeep of existing projects in Glin town.

UNTIL NEXT TIME …..

Official opening of the Glin Knights Visitor Centre…. tomorrow Saturday at 3 pm.
