PLEASE PRAY FOR Your prayers are requested for John Keogh, brother of Tess Lang, Union, who has died in France. May he rest in peace. CHURCH RAILINGS The railings in front of Collooney church have been painted. They were last painted in 2004. The inevitable rusting looks unsightly and demands regular repainting.

Anybody interested in taking part should meet at the Community Centre at 7 p.m. Litter pickers and bags provided.

| Feastday on Thursday next. Philosopher and theologian, a Father and Doctor of the Church, Augustine is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He was brought up a Christian but the Faith meant little to him and he lived a worldly and pleasure seeking life until his conversion to wholehearted Christianity in 386 AD. On the opposite page we give his own description of that famous 'conversion'. | |
