ST. COLMCILLE'S PARISH NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 1995

BETTER PARISH FACILITIES While plans are being formulated for the building of a permanent pastoral centre in Knock lyon temporary accommodat ion has been provided.

This accommodation is in the old pre-fab build-ing (drawing above) which has been beautifully refurbished for its new use. The building contains three meet ing rooms of varying size with fully equipped kitchen and bathroom facilities. The rooms named Mona', 'Doire' and 'Gartan', after places of pilgrimage associated with St. Colmcille, are very c o m f o r t a b l e , spac ious and tas te fu l ly decorated to 'house' the courses and other activi-ties already underway in the temporary pastoral complex.

AT YOUR SERVICE... in the new kitchen of the Pastoral Centre on September 1 Oth,

Kay Walsh, Eva Coffey and Sr. Aileen

Sunday, September 10th was a memorable day in Knock-

lyon. It marked two outstanding events - Part ic ipat ion

Sunday and the opening of the new Pastoral Centre.

Knocklyon is well known for its community spirit which

began when the Carmelite priests arrived here in the early

70's. At that time there were no shops, no phones, except

for emergency lines, very little transport and a school was

a dream for the future. Getting to know one's neighbours

was a necessity and out of our mutual needs a wonderful

community spirit was born.

Today that spirit is still with us, but it is more difficult to

reach out and encompass the thousands of people who

now form the parish of Knocklyon. There are so many new

faces, young and old, children and teenagers. How can

they be brought closer and their needs looked after (both

spiritual and temporal) in such a fast growing community?

Many of our present groups have tried to deal with the

situation but it was the 'bra in-chi ld ' of the Liturgy and

Spirituality Group that came up with the splendid idea of

'Participation Sunday'.

Notices were distributed at all Masses on the previous

Sunday, inviting everyone to become involved in building

up our community - putting forward new ideas that could

impart a new vitality and friendship into our midst. Partici-

pation Sunday would also be a social occasion for in-

dividuals and families - meeting new people and chatting

over a cup of tea or coffee. A wonderful idea - all that

remained was to find the right venue for the event.

Was it a happy coincidence that the Parish had recently

re-acquired the old pre-fab - or was the good Lord once

more taking the situation in hand? Admittedly the old pre-

fab was in sad need of a face-lift, but this did not perturb

the number of enthusiastic workers w h o undertook the

mammoth task of re-furbishing. Scrubbing, cleaning and

painting soon changed the d ingy interior into a thing of

beauty. Curtains, tables and chairs appeared as if by

magic. Shining w indows and the outstanding decor of

white and delicate shades of pink made the transformation

complete.

On the day itself a team of 'Magnets' drawn from the

'Contact ' Group, Eucharistic Ministers and many others

was deployed after each Mass to take names of anyone

interested in giving a little of their time for the benefit of the

community. The response to the invitations was overwhelm-

ing and an endless stream of people descended on the

Pastoral Centre after every Mass, morning and evening.

Many suggestions were made, many new talents came to

light and more than 2 7 0 people have committed some of

their time to serve on the many projects - old and new.

Somehow there was a feeling of energy everywhere - a

buzz of excitement, and best of al l - a distinct air of

achievement was felt by all.

Participation Sunday was a happy day - a successful

day and one that we hope wi l l continue to expand our

c a r i n g c o m m u n i t y and so make K n o c k l y o n an even

happier place in which to live. _ r r r Eileen Casey

Caoimhe Ni Mhurchu (Delaford) winner of the National Enterprise Competition '95

'Treoir don Scrudu Cainte' is a fully comprehensive user-friendly booklet on The Oral Irish Exam., written by Caoimhe Ni Mhurchu, as a transition year pupil last year at Loreto High School Beaufort, as her contribution to the Young Entrepreneurs Award Project 1994/95. Caoimhe recently took home first prize in the prestigious National Enterprise Competit ion, sponsored by The Dublin Chamber of Commerce, held at the llac Centre on 22 May.

This booklet is a practical and useful resource which will help students to prepare for all aspects of the Leaving Certificate Oral Irish Exam.

It provides a step-by-step guide on how to approach the test. It outlines the marking scheme, offers various topics for conversation, and suggests methods for en-hancing and enriching the students fluency.

Furthermore, examples on how to direct and control a conversation are provided along with many 'fillers' and phrases which should encourage a necessary confidence in conversational techniques. There is also an exciting and interesting approach to the study of the irregular verbs, and a clear explanation of the major dialectical differences which may be encountered.

This 17,500 word booklet which was recently featured on The Pat Kenny Show, and Radio na Gaeltachta, has been critically acclaimed by many associated with the teaching profession and to date over 3000 copies have been sold as proof of its worth. A number of schools, have placed Caoimhe's book on their book lists for this September.

The guidelines are bilingual and an English vocabulary is provided with the sample answers, therefore this book is useful for both Higher and Ordinary Level Students.

The book costs £3.00 (including postage) and any schools, bookshops, teachers or pupils who wish to order a book can do so by phoning Caoimhe at 4941423.

• K.A.R.A. • Knocklyon Active Retirement Association

Our annual outing this year was on 20th June to Carlingford. We left by coach from the Community Centre, the weather was a bit cloudy and dull but the spirits' high. We had a very pleasant day, stopping in Carlingford for lunch. Miraculously the sun shone from a cloudless sky for the remainder of the day which we all thoroughly enjoyed. We had dinner in Ardee on the way back and celebrated two birthdays - Eileen Camp-bell's and Jim Smyth's, who are both hale and hearty, (T.G.) Jim attends the aerobics and swimming sessions every week and is a keen gardener. Thanks to Lyla for arranging the outing. One of our forthcoming highlights is a visit to the Gaiety on November 8th to see "My Fair Lady".

F.A.R.A. - the combined Active Retirement Groups from the whole country held an Art Exhibition in the Irish Life Centre on 7th and 8th July. It was a huge success with over 300 pictures exhibited and was opened by Jean Kennedy-Smith. We had two pictures "on show" from the Knocklyon group and hope to have more exhibits from our group next year as we have many talented people in K.A.R.A. who have varied interests and pursuits.

We reopened on 12th September and would remind you that a warm welcome awaits all new members. Contact the Community Centre Tuesdays 10.30 -12.30 p.m.

S C O U T reEWS The Scout Unit 's annual camp began on the 30th June, this s u m m e r . B leary -eyed paren ts b id g o o d b y e to t he i r l i t t le darlings as they deposited them in Superquinn car park. It was 5 a.m.

This year was the f irst year of a "mixed camp" - a unique occasion in which girl and boy Scouts headed for Bristol and the camp at "Woodhouse Park".

The "Old Ghurka", J immy Fitzsimons was the self-appointed path-f inder, and granted he did eventually get us there. We arrived at our camp site at 6 p.m. We set up camp and started an impromptu game of football. It was during this kick around that Deirdre Walsh was th rown to the ground. By the next morning, after a night tour of Bristol Infirmaries, Deirdre was bandaged, be-crutched and feeling "mean".

On the Sunday we decided to go on a hike to visit nearby "Tock ing ton Mano r " w i th Donal F i tzg ibbon our boy scout extraordinaire leading us on a merry wander through England's fair countryside, humming the distinctive tune - "The Milky Bar Kid Is On His Way". Meanwhile J immy Fitzsimons and Paul Buckley had gone on a reconaissance mission and arrived back the following day with a bounty of scouting paraphernalia, their Hi-ace van struggling to carry its load.

The next week was spent vis i t ing such places as "Wookey Hole Caves" and "Oldown Farm". Wookey Hole, apart f rom the

m b h h L k obv ious at t ract ion of the caves and the legendary w i tch of Wookey also housed an Amusements Museum wi th arcade machines dating f rom the early twentieth century.

On the camp sites the facil it ies were ample and during our stay we did Archery, Absailing and Shooting. The leaders also partook in the Shooting Competit ions and the female leaders left the "Old Ghurka" and company shame-faced in defeat. Deirdre was an ace shot despite her gammy leg. Our winning streak was stopped, however, when "Ayatollah" Daly put an end to our shooting sprees after estimating the cost of ammunition.

However, the coup de grace eventually occurred when the leaders turned on the scouts and drowned them with a barrage of water balloons as they sat innocent ly outside their tents. Needless to say we were fully paid back in the ensuing water-fight.

After 10 days spent eating the charred remains of potatoes and pot scrapings we returned home. No more evenings before the camp fire listening to Sarah Fitzsimons and her serenade or watching Bates and Mongey Riverdance or Gavin Gannon and Pierse Fitzpatrick trying to sing. We arrived back in Superquinn car park in a dishevelled state, the parents, however, seemed to have undergone a rejuvenation in their children's absence. Oh to do it all again!

JOE SCORES A HAT TRICK!

Joe Rafferty (15), Orlagh Park had another successful year on the Junior Athletic track. Last year we reported on Joe winning the B.L.O.E. National Championships in the 80m. Hurdles, well he continued his winning way by securing gold in the U.15 100m. Hurdles at this year's championships held in the Morton Stadium, Santry in July. His time of 14.42 sees, was a personal best.

Joe (a member of Dundrum South Dublin Athletic Club) ran on both the U.15 and U.16 4x100m. relay teams which

won gold in both events in the National Relay Championships. Following this Joe was selected to run on the B.L.O.E.

squad in the Celtic International Games held in the Antrim Forum in August. He won his event defeating athletes from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland giving Ireland full points. Ireland finished second to Scotland in the overall event.

We wish Joe continued success in the coming season.

Pride of "Knocklion"

Courtney Bros. European Circus proudly presented their spectacular show in Knocklyon on five consecutive days in July. It featured acts from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Morocco, Hungary, Mexico, and Switzerland as well as a pride of lions from Africa. Terrific entertainment was en-joyed by young and old alike. Well done to all concerned.

Refreshed and renewed after a glorious summer, the Junior School children, all 770 of them, faced back to school with beaming faces. We welcome them all and hope that another happy year is in store for them.

We particularly welcome all the "new" children to the school - 210 Junior Infants, s tar ted this year with very few tears in evidence - much to the credit of the junior infant teachers who are coping admirably with the large classes.

We welcome our new members of staff Ms. M. Harty, Ms. N. Byrne and Ms. C. Mannion. Ms. Y. Mullan is back with us again after her year exchange, as is Mrs. G. Johnston following her career break.

Our two new classrooms are fully opera-tional with Mr. G. Cuddy and Mr. A. Stack in isolated splendour. (See photo below)

SPORT School sporting activities have recommenced and many boys and girls are involved in Gaelic football, hurling and camogie . Mr. Ruddy, Mr. Kearney and Mr. Connolly have mobilized the boys' football t eams and will be involved in inter-school competitions during the coming weeks . Mr. MacGabhann has the daunting task of replacing Mr. Connolly as girls' football supremo and we wish him luck in his efforts . Mr. S. O'Nei l l , Mr. P. O'Neill and Mr. Murphy are organizing hurling throughout the school for those not involved in the football panels. Mr. S w e e n e y and Ms. Keating are similarly involved on the c a m o g i e front. We hope that all children will enjoy their sporting activities during the year and we will keep you informed on their monthly progress.

We extend heartfelt sympathy to Ms. Roche and Ms. McGorry, both of whom suffered the loss of a parent this summer.

We welcome back our old friends Mr. P. O'Neill and Ms. Russell and welcome on board Ms. Marie Collins who has recently joined us from Limerick. Congratu-lations to Mrs. Trina Cooney and husband Michael on the arrival of baby Eoin.

We extend a special welcome to our third class pupils recently graduated from the junior school and indeed to all new pupils schoolwide.

The Senior School was happy to host a teacher ex-change with a group of Italian teachers who arrived on Thursday 14th September for a two week stint. They stayed in the locality and immersed themselves in the life of the school, visiting classes and participating in activities. We were very happy with this cultural ex-change and sharing of ideas and expertise. More details of the experience in the next newsletter.

So here's to a year of achievement, enlightenment and growth for all.

BR. PHILIP BRENNAN, O. CARM. Greetings lo one and all.

I have been asked by the Editorial team to introduce myself, so here g o e s . . .

My name is Philip Brennan and I am the latest addition to the Carmelite team here in St. Colmcil le"s . I could be described as a 'fairly' local boy as I was brought up in Terenure and I went to school at the College there from 1976-1988. I know that a number of parishioners r e m e m b e r me as an al tar boy and Sacr is tan in the College Chapel during those years. So it is nice to see some familiar faces once again, such as Phil Helly, who was a neighbour of mine when I was growing up.

I have been a Carmelite Friar for the past six years and I have spent the bulk of that time living in our student house at Gort Muire, Ballinteer. Last June I completed a degree course in Theology and Ministry at the Milltown Institute. I have been sent to Knocklyon to spend a year gaining pastoral experience, and I am looking forward to this valuable opportunity of 'digesting' what I have learned over the past number of years. My main duties will be to assist Father Joe in his trojan work as Chaplain within the schools and also to become more au fait with the intricacies of parish finances under the expert guidance of Brother Pat.

It looks as if I have arrived at a very exciting time in the life of this parish. I am glad to be here, and it will give me great pleasure to meet

Turning a blind eye "Of course she should be punishedhe cried. "We can't ignore that kind of behaviour. After all hasn't God given us eyes"Yes" replied his more kindly neighbour. "And eyelids"!

A lovely little story, reminiscent of the wise advice of Pope John XXIII to all in au tho r i t y : "See everything. Correct a little. And turn a blind eye to most".

We all spontaneously take to non- judgmenta l persons. There's something lovable about those who always seem to find excuses for the offender; and more especially when they themselves have been the butt of the offence! "Love is always ready to excuse", St. Paul tells us. (1 Cor 13). So, we see, the refusal to judge or condemn is truly love in action.

Once again, Tony de Mello has a story to drive the point home:

There was once a priest so holy that he never thought ill of anyone.

One day he sat down at a restaurant for a cup of coffee which was all he could take, it being a day of fast and abstinence, when, to his surpr ise, he saw a young member of his congregation devouring a massive steak at the next table.

"I trust I haven't shocked you, Father", said the young fellow with a smile.

"Ah! I take it that you forgot that today is a day

of fast and abstinence", said the priest.

"No, no I remembered it distinctly".

"Then you must be sick. The doctor has for-

bidden you to fast".

"Not at all. I'm in the pink of health".

At that, the priest raised his eyes to heaven and said, "What an example this younger generation is to us, Lord! Do you see how this young man here would rather admit his sins than tell a lie?"

and get to know many more of you in the weeks and months ahead. Philip BrennanyO. Carm. (Prayer of the Frog)

KNOCKLYON YOUTH CLUB

— HELP URGENTLY NEEDED —

The Youth Club re-opened on Friday 22nd of September. Among the new activities we hope to have are Volley Ball and Table Football.

This year we make a special appeal to parents of members. Please could you give a little of your time during the year to help in supervising activi-ties in the club? You would not be expected to make a lifelong commitment - even five or six e v e n i n g s dur ing the year w o u l d be m u c h appreciated. Friday evenings are particularly busy as a large number of young people attend the Junior Club Night. Help in supervising is vital in order to keep the club open. We know it will involve some sacrifice, but the benefit to the young people in the community will be reward in itself.

Please contact any member of the Committee. Phone numbers listed opposite.

• ROADS AND PATHS • Plans for the design of the road improvement from Ballycullen Road to Old Bawn are to be completed by the end of the year. • There has been much disappointment at the delay in completing the Firhouse Road widening at the junction of Knocklyon Road following the diversion of the River Dodder and the construction of the retaining wall. It is hoped that the final phase of the work will be carried out without further delay. • Pedestrian paths in the vicinity of the new Mount Carmel Bridge (featured on the cover of the February 1995 issue of the Knocklyon News) have been com-pleted.

• CATHAOIRLEACH NUA Councillor Breda Cass (Independent) is the new Cathaoirlcach of South Dublin County Council. On her election she paid tribute to Cllr. John Hannon (Fianna F&il) the outgoing Cathaoirlcach. She said she hoped to continue his good work in promoting an open, visible and accountable Council to the public.

CASTLEFIELD CELEBRATES Saturday July 29lh was Community Day in Castlefield Manor. The day set off lo a rousing start with the Artanc Boys Band. The band paraded through the "Manor" and then played many well known favourites on the green. The Sports Day kicked off in earnest at 2 p.m. with races and competit ions for young and old, children and parents alike! (see photo page 12)

Father David celebrated Mass with us on the green at 6 p.m. on Saturday evening. The Mass was prepared by the children, who led the singing and read the prayers and readings.

With the children safely tucked up in bed, the mums and dads donned their cowboy hats for the "adults on ly" barbeque. There ' s nothing like a spot of line dancing lo help the appetite as Father Joe discovered and Gerry, our chef, saw lo our every need in the culinary department.

A good day and night was had by all - roll on next summer . PAT 0'SHEA

Also in picture is Mattie's dog Dove, which is proving easier to train! Last year was a good year for the club, with success both at local and All Ireland level, as detailed below. However, while the club has good representation at the junior level, we are anxious to encourage and grow the senior section (15 upwards), and would encourage any potential or lapsed athlete out there to give serious thought to joining us. It is a number of years since the club entered a team in the national track and field, however this year we would hope to make our return. The club also has a Jogging section which meets Tuesday and Thursday at 8.15 p.m. at Sancta Maria. It was very enjoyable last year and this year we hope it will continue to grow. All ages and levels of fitness catered for!

The club recently took part in the N.A.C.A.I. All Ireland Juvenile national finals which were held in the University of Limerick. Two days of competition were enjoyed by over 1500 juvenile (8 -14 year olds) from all over the 32 counties. Brothers Pearse being based in Knocklyon draws

Athletic Club f most of its athletes from our parish and after finishing in runner-up place in the Dublin Community Games, another good performance was hoped for. 33 medals were won over the weekend by 24 athletes, these included Sean King, Alan Coughlan, Aidan Smyth, Jonathan Hughes, Colin Holmes, Madeline Kiernan, Suzanne Donohue, Jill Clarke, Susan Tyson, Bronwen Kiernan, Aine Hunt, Una Mulkerrin, Claire Butterly, Heidi Walshe, Suzanne Hughes, Laura Tyson, Karen Tyson, Emma Hunt, Niamh Cummins, Tanya Hughes, Nadine Eustace, Aideen O'Doherty, Laura Scanlan and Mairead O'Donnell.

The competition was very hard and all the children who participated did extremely well. Also a word of thanks to all the children who competed throughout the year and helped us to the Finals, but unfortunately could not take part because of holidays.

Finally, the parents who supported us throughout the year were fantastic! Last but not least a special word of thanks to all the coaches who put in the hard work to get our athletes to these Finals and indeed do so well here and in the Dublin Community Games!

"Environment Slzoards 1995

Pictured at the Presentation of the Environment Awards 1995 (L. - R.) Michael Brennan, Jim Mulkerrin, Jim Tarpey,

Cllr. Mary Muldoon, and Martin Nolan

The presentation of awards for the 1995 Tidy Estates Competition took place on Friday September 8th. The overall award, the Knocklyon Community Association Trophy, was won by the residents of Dargle Wood, while the award for best community effort, the Mary Muldoon Trophy, was won by the residents of Cool-amber Park.

Accepting the K.C.A. Trophy on behalf of Dargle Wood, Jim Tarpey (Chairman, Dargle Wood R. A.) and Martin Nolan (Secretary, Dargle Wood R. A.) expressed their appreciation of the effort and time spent by residents maintaining Dargle Wood not just this year, but over many years, and hoped that this would continue.

On receiving the Mary Muldoon Trophy on behalf of Coolamber Park, Jim Mulkerrin noted that Cool-amber Park residents had turned out in large num-bers this year to tidy up their estate - a fact reflected in their attainment of such a high mark in the "best community effort" category of this year's competition.

The Chairman of Knocklyon Community Council, Michael Brennan, congratulated the prizewinners and thanked all who participated in and organised the Tidy Estates Competition. He also observed that in a community which has experienced so many environ-mental changes over the past two decades, the need to care for and work at maintaining and enhancing that environment was greater than ever.

BALLYBODEN ST. ENDA'S G.A.A. & CAMOGIE CLUB

There are two national underage inter-club titles in hurling. To win Feile na nGael is the dream of under 14 hurlers the length and breadth of Ireland, and for under 16 club players the All-Ireland Hurling Sevens title at Kilmacud Crokes is a cherished ambition. Ballyboden St. Enda's has now won both titles following the under 16s success at Pairc de Burca, Glenalbyn.

Dungarvan were the opponents in the Final, but a month's preparation by Ballyboden bore fruit as Barry Condron and Fergal O'Neill ran themselves into the ground for a 3-6 to 1 -4 win.

Pictured below are the jubilant team in distinguished company.

midfielders on the victorious Dublin team in the All-Ireland final following Paul Bealin's (extreme right) decision to join the club.

CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS THE MANY FACES OF KNOCKLYON

Arising out of the Parish Assembly (last November) and subsequent discussions at the Church Structures' Group, im-provements were carried out in the church and to its surroundings over the summer months. Arrangements were made for effective drainage of surface water outside the church, prior to the laying of more extensive tarmacadam surrounding paths. Inside the church new carpets were laid and soft kneelers fixed. All these improvements help to make the church a more welcoming and comfortable place of worship. Many thanks to the Church Structures Group for their great work.

" C E l f i N C " M T H I T . " ~ On Saturday 23rd September Knocklyon Youth Forum '95 took place in the Junior School Hall from 1.30 - 5.30 p.m. The objective of this gathering was to give young people from 15 upwards an opportunity to have their voices heard, about matters pertaining to the parish and their needs and aspirations for it. If you missed this event it is not too late to still become involved -contact Maeve Collins (4946082).

Pastoral Centre Up-date You will be pleased to hear that the temporary Pastoral Centre referred to on our front cover is already operational -accommodating for example the Eastern Health Board Nurses Clinic on a once weekly basis, together with a wide range of courses both morning and evening. It is proposed to have a number of Community Coffee Mornings there over the next few months aimed at helping people get to know their neighbours better. f

In addition to the three rooms mentioned on the front cover two other rooms comprise the Pastoral Complex i.e. the Sord Room (in the Presbytery) and the Toraigh Room (beside the Sacristy). The Ccanannas Bookshop (also beside the Sacristy) is an integral part of the pastoral theme.

Meanwhile the Pastoral Centre Group continues to meet and is busy formulating plans for a permanent Pastoral Centre. We will keep you informed of developments as they arise.
