Dying to Live – October 31st

What matters most?

What keeps us from becoming fully alive?

What does it actually mean to live well?

Saint Benedict offered a surprising tool for finding peace, purpose, and profound joy:

“Keep death daily before your eyes.”

This is not a retreat about gloom or fear. It is a day dedicated to the art of truly living. By gently confronting our limitations, we learn to strip away superficial anxieties, silence the ego, and discover what genuinely matters.

Join us on October 31^st as we step away from the relentless noise of modern life.

Through Benedictine wisdom, quiet reflection, and community fellowship, you will learn to trade daily distractions for eternal priorities.

Safeguarding Month

Creating a Safe and Welcoming Parish for Everyone

Safeguarding is an essential part of parish life. As a parish community within the Archdiocese of Cashel & Emly, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone, especially children and young people, feel welcomed, respected, valued and safe.

Week 1 – Our Shared Responsibility

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Each of us has a part to play in ensuring that our parish is a safe and welcoming place for all. We encourage everyone involved in parish life to be familiar with our safeguarding procedures and to speak up if they have a concern.

Week 2 – Creating a Safe Parish

A safe parish is one where children and young people are cherished, listened to and protected. Our safeguarding policies, training and procedures help us to provide safe environments for everyone involved in parish activities. We are grateful to our Parish Safeguarding Representatives, clergy, staff and volunteers for their continued commitment to this important work.

Week 3 – Speaking Up

Being attentive to the wellbeing and safety of children and young people is an important part of safeguarding. If you have a concern about the safety or welfare of a child or vulnerable person, please ensure that you know who to speak to and how to report your concern. Our Parish Safeguarding Representatives can provide information and guidance on safeguarding procedures.

Week 4 – A Safe and Welcoming Church

Safeguarding is more than policies and procedures — it is about respecting the dignity, wellbeing and rights of every person. As a parish community, let us continue to be vigilant, caring and supportive of one another. By working together, we can help ensure that everyone who comes through our doors feels safe, valued and welcome.

OUR COMMITMENT

Our parish takes safeguarding seriously.

If you have a safeguarding concern, please speak with our Parish Safeguarding Representative or follow the reporting procedures displayed in the church and parish facilities.

For further information and diocesan safeguarding resources, please visit www.cashel-emly.ie or contact Cleo Yates, Director of Safeguarding.

Together, we can make our parish a safe place for everyone.

Dying to Live – October 31st

What matters most?

What keeps us from becoming fully alive?

What does it actually mean to live well?

Saint Benedict offered a surprising tool for finding peace, purpose, and profound joy:

“Keep death daily before your eyes.”

This is not a retreat about gloom or fear. It is a day dedicated to the art of truly living. By gently confronting our limitations, we learn to strip away superficial anxieties, silence the ego, and discover what genuinely matters.

Join us on October 31st as we step away from the relentless noise of modern life.

Through Benedictine wisdom, quiet reflection, and community fellowship, you will learn to trade daily distractions for eternal priorities.
