Parish Notices Sunday 28th April 2013
The Rector writes ‘Good communication is so important in any sphere of life and especially so within a community. I know I really value this weekly Linksheet as a way of communicating with you all . If you have anything of interest that you would like to appear on the Linksheet, please do let Christine in the office know. The deadline for any inserts into the Linksheet is lunchtime on the Wednesday of each week. If you have something for the monthly Diocesan Magazine, the deadline is on 10th of the month. So if you or someone close to you has had a special birthday, or a new grandchild (or great-grandchild) has been born, or someone is engaged or married, or if there is anything else you are celebrating ,then please let us know. This week we are delighted to have the new Welcome Leaflets available at the back of the churches. I think they look both attractive and accessible and hopefully they will encourage people to dip into all of the different clubs and groups that we have within our parish union. Feel free to take and distribute these to anyone you think might be interested. Thank you to the Welcome Committee and to all those who helped in any way in the production of these useful and glossy guides.

Our Parish/School Sponsored Walk takes place this morning after the service in St Mary’s. This year the Walk will also be part of the National Spring Clean Initiative run by An Taisce which fits in beautifully with our plans to become an Eco-Congregation and also with the School’s plan to gain a Green Flag. Please do support the day as it is an important Parish / School initiative and helps cement the ties we already enjoy with our parish school. Please do remember, it is very important to REGISTER in the hall BEFORE you begin the walk!
SUMMER FÊTE Tracey Pierce is organising a craft stall at this year’s Fête, (Saturday 1 June; put it in your diaries!).

Random Notes LVI
Illustrated above is an interesting memento of a service held nearly forty years ago. On Thursday, 7th February 1974, the 150th anniversary of the licensing for Divine Service of St. Mary’s Church, Carrigaline, 7th February 1824 was marked, early during the incumbency of Reverend Basil Wolfe McCrea (1921-2013).
The cover of the Order of Service bears a set of stamps issued in 1968 to commemorate the 800th anniversary of St. Mary’s Cathedral, Limerick, and was date-stamped at the Post Office of Carrigaline on the day the service was held.
In addition, the organist, Charles Herbert, (then the organist of Holy
Trinity, Christ Church, South Main Street, Cork) and the clergy who
participated in the service signed the cover; as follows from top to bottom:
Revd. Oliver Arthur Patrick Peare, Rector of Kinsale from 1966.
Revd. Canon Henry Josesph Packham, Rector of Douglas from 1960.
Revd. William Beare, Rector of Monkstown and Marmullane from 1968.
Right Revd. Richard Gordon Perdue, Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross from 1957.
Very Revd. Charles William Wolfe, Dean of Cashel, 1961 – 1973.
Ven. Arthur Charles Gill, Rector of Templebreedy from 1949, and Archdeacon of Cloyne from 1968.
Revd. Basil Wolfe McCrea, Rector of Carrigaline, Rector of Carrigaline, 1972 – 1990.
