Bruree Notes 2/1/2011

Preschool Draw

Stepping Stones Preschool would most sincerely like to thank all those who helped and supported them with their recent Christmas Raffle.  The results are as follows:

1st Prize - Karen Walsh, The Paddocks - Card Seller - Costcutters

2nd Prize - Luke Hourigan, Ballyagran - Card Seller - Caroline Crotty

3rd Prize - Eoin Murphy - Card Seller - Rebecca Murphy

Hospital Visitation

It is no longer permissible for anyone, including priests, to look at the list of inpatients in the Mid Western Hospital, Dooradoyle, as has been the practice previously. For Parish Priests this is a regrettable decision and will impact on the custom of having access to patients from our parish. Fr. McAuliffe will need to be notified if you wish him to visit a relative or parishioner and he can be contacted on 063-90515 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting  or in the sacristy after Mass.
