Parish Notices Sunday 30th September 2018
The Rector writes ’I am so excited to see who has won our tallest Sunflower competition this year! The seeds were given out on Rogation Sunday back in May and the winner will be announced during the Service. Well done to all the boys & girls who grew their flowers this year (and to the adult ‘helpers’). Thank you to our Preacher Keith Roberts who has come to speak to us today. It is great to have him back to his ‘home’ church and we will have to make a habit of it (but don’t tell the Archdeacon!). Don’t forget our Harvest Supper is this Saturday at 7:30pm in the Canon McCrea Hall and then next Sunday at 11:15 in St John’s church we will gather again for our final Harvest Celebration! The money from our Harvest Collections this year will go to Christian Aid for their Philippines Typhoon Mangkhut Appeal and our produce to local Meals on Wheels.’

1932, March 29th, ‘Capt. Newenham & other members of the vestry complained of the great cold in the Church during service. That the fires were not lighted early enough before service the Church Wardens were asked to interview the Sexton & have the matter put right.’

‘The total cost of repairs to Church including panels in chancel, gallery stairs, amounted to £18.16.9’
1936, July 3rd, The following resolution was proposed by R.H. Dorman, seconded by H.W.B. Roberts & passed, that out of the sum of £25 in Cork Savings Bank, the sum of approximately £12 be spent on removal of old stain on pulpit and Chance rails, and polishing of same, and on painting Church doors, L. Palliser (Crosshaven) to be engaged for the work.’
1939, April 11th, ‘The Rector asked the acceptance by the vestry of a collecting plate for Carrigaline Church to be presented by Mrs. W. Hosford in memory of her nephew, Kingston. Mr. Dorman proposed the acceptance and gratitude of the vestry to Mrs. Hosford, seconded by Miss Roberts, and passed unanimously.’
1939, May 14th, ’We the members of the Carrigaline Select Vestry have learnt with deep regret of the death of our Hon. Sec., Mr. D.H. Young. His general personality and sound advice will be greatly missed at our councils. For over fifty years he has been Hon.Sec.to the vestry, and has always taken a deep interest in the affairs of this Parish. As long as he was able he was a constant attendant at the services of the Church, and when impaired health prevented him doing so, was always eager to know of every activity. We shall greatly miss him, and we desire to express to his family our very deepest sympathy in their loss.’
