KNOCKANURE
BEST Wishes to the students from both Knockanure and Moyvane National Schools who received their Confirmation in Moyvane Church on Monday 25th of February `08. This year new Principals Mrs Donegan and Mrs Madden were in charge of preparing the students for this special memorable event in the children�s lives. Bishop Murphy complimented all who were involved in preparing the children for the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Moyvane Choir were in their usual best on the day, we all hope that all confirmed will continue to be part of the living Catholic community. Thanks to our Parish Priest Fr Lucid, who carries a very busy schedule and still copes with emergencies and all the extra unexpected that happens every now and again.

The pilgrims got a great chance to see Europe in their travels from Dublin to London, then Brussels to Lucerne to Milan to Ancona with a visit to Loretto then Rome. While in Rome the visited the Audience Chamber where the Pope met each pilgrim individually. The pilgrims also visited several places in Rome and vicinity and of course they came home by a deferent route, arriving in London on March 2nd 1893, it being also the eighty third birthday of the Pope.

THOUGHT: Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one's heart, its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others, Francois Fenelon.
