| Mother’s Day Cards Launched |
The card contains prayers for mothers and includes a remembrance in a Triduum of Masses that will be celebrated in Sacred Heart Church, Western Road, Cork on 13-15 March. Fr. Michael O’Connell, Director at the MSC Mission Support Centre said that Mother’s Day is a very special occasion within families, and it was felt appropriate to give praise for all mothers including “the many who gave their sons to the missions over the years”. The cards are available at the Mission Support Centre, Leebrook House, Western Road, or through the post. The suggested donation is €10 towards MSC missionary work. |

He received his primary education at Castletownbere National School and then travelled to Sacred Heart College, Western Road, Cork for his post primary education. His home town is almost one hundred miles from Cork city. As a young student at Sacred Heart College, Fr. Jack began his studies after a two-part journey from Castletownbere to Bantry by boat, and then by train to Cork city. Mid-term breaks were not a feature of the educational system at that time. |
