As the Summer season kicks in with some good weather we at Dunleer Parish wish you a peaceful and restful season. I hope that you get the opportunity to take a break from the routine of life over the Summer and to enjoy the season. We wish all our students well in their exams and congratulate all those who have received the Sacraments of Holy Communion, Confirmation or Marriage recently. Thanks to our teachers who prepare our youth so professionally and with dedication. The season of Patrúns begins with our annual celebration in Mosstown on June 18^th. Dromin Patrún takes place this year on Oct 8^th.

As we emerge from the Covid-Era, we are trying to readjust and to ascertain what has changed and how we respond to those changes. A new experience for us has been the growth of on-line liturgies. Each day we have around fifty log-ins to 10 a.m. Mass and the Vigil Mass attracts over 100 log-ins. Many of our elderly have found the isolation of the past three years difficult and the young have suffered deprivation in terms of learning and of human contact as well. We believe that we are resilient, however and we will negotiate the after-shocks with inner strength and the wisdom of community.

We continue the life of the parish with the usual maintenance and upkeep of our old buildings. The Summer gives us a respite from the high energy bills that we have to face each Winter. People have been very supportive all through the past few years and we have been able to keep our pastoral activity and our community outreach rolling along. Summer time can be difficult because of increased travel and outdoor activities so please watch out for each other and be vigilant. Meantime thank-You and I hope that you and your families are able to re-create yourselves this summer.

Fr Michael Murtagh P.P.
