Monsignor Liam McDaid, will be ordained as the New Bishop of Clogher in succession to Bishop Joseph Duffy who has been bishop for the last thirty one years.  The ordination will take place in St Macartan’s Cathedral on Sunday 25th July at 3.00pm.  To make provision for people from each parish in the Diocese to attend the ordination, an allocation of tickets has been given to each parish according to population.  Donaghmoyne Parish has received ten tickets.  We invite any parishioner who would like to attend the ordination to drop his/her name, address and telephone number into Broomfield Parochial House (back door letterbox) or into the collection bag at Mass next week-end 17th/18th July.  All names of those interested in attending must be in by Sunday evening 18th July.  If more than ten names are given in, ten will be picked out of a hat and will be given their tickets by Monday/Tuesday 19th/20th July to attend the ordination and reception on Sunday 25th July.  It is necessary to have a ticket to attend the ceremony and the reception afterwards.  Copies of a leaflet containing information on Monsignor McDaid, the Diocese of Clogher the ordination ceremony and a prayer for our Bishop and Diocese are available at the back of each church for people who would like to take one.

THANK YOU FROM TRÓCAIRE
This Monday, July 12th, marks six months since Haiti was devastated by a massive earthquake.  Immediately after the disaster, parishes across Ireland answered Haiti’s call for help and held collections for Trócaire emergency response. As part of Caritas Internationalis the world’s second biggest humanitarian network, we can rapidly access communities in disaster - stricken countries.  These close links make sure your donations reach suffering people immediately and that, together, we can save lives.  Parishes like yours helped raised €4,681,168, which is now rebuilding shattered lives across Haiti.  Thanks to your generosity, Trócaire has provided:

Shelter to 900,000 people
Life-saving healthcare to one million people
Food to one and a half million people
Help rebuilding schools and hospitals
School-feeding programmes
Safe places for children in five main temporary camps
Trauma counselling and education for affected children

We are now planning a major five-year rebuilding and reconstruction programme.  Your support at this crucial time has helped the country take it first steps towards a new future.  Thanks you from Trócaire and most importantly, the people of Haiti.  For more information visit www.trocaire.org.
