A Soldiers Mass
Australian men tough and strong
Confirmation sacrament all well knew,
From Wagga Wagga or Dannedong,
Soldiers of Christ – sworn to be true.
Proud Fijians fit and able -
Some mindful also of their lapsed souls,
Africans from the Nile’s cradle.
Food for thought when in Foxholes!
Catholics from the Himalayas,
When the Lords word to us was read
Malaccan Christians of West Malaya,
Was here and there a tear shed,
Irishmen both South and North,
And thoughts of Masses far away
Hardy Scotsmen of Clyde and Forth.
Where we learned to kneel and pray?
Sanctus, Sanctus, the Padre said
Devout believers from Singapore,
At this solemn rite all were intent,
And a thousand men bowed the head,
Maori giants of New Zealand’s shore.
No blessed candles or incense,
No loud commands or shouted word,
From his Jeep’s altar – a handbell tolled
Strange and surreal the atmosphere,
The Mass in latin all understood.
And the rites of Mass to us he told.
To a man - believed that God was near.
Of different ranks ages and race,
Old veterans of many campaigns
A bond between us soldier men –
In a land of conflict - a desolate place.
Children once more we became,
The Mass in latin by our Chaplain,
With weapons of war about our feet
Remembering our first Communion day,
He said, “Ita Missa”, in peace go,
The ancient responses did repeat.
Wondering when and where went astray.
At that soldiers Mass of long long ago.

“
A couple of weeks ago I drove past the bottle banks Contact in Cregmore and was Nuacht Chláir, Currach Ruadh, shocked to see the state Creig Buí, of them. Rubbish was Baile Chláir, strewn all over the ground Co. na Gaillimhe. beside the banks. The 091 798 430 banks themselves were 086 391 38 52 over flowing and bottles and glass were also strewn news@nuachtchlair.com at the base. So much for recycling! Are we ever going to educate people to use these banks appropriately or will they have to be moved again? They had been in Claregalway before and had to be moved because of this very same problem. Opposite are some photos taken at the time. Another problem occurring in the village of Claregalway is dog poo! Since the implementation of our foot paths, we now have lots of walkers etc using them which is great but we have also dogs destroying them with dog poo. City Hall in Galway supply free dog scoopers and it is in the interest of everyone to use them. It’s not nice to have to walk on footpaths covered in dog poo. Owners please take note. It was brought to my attention recently about the signs in Claregalway being changed to Gaeilge. I made enquiries to Galway County Council and was told that all approach signs to Claregalway will now be in Gaeilge as we are in the Gaeltacht area. They look unsightly at the moment but I have been assured that they will be improved in time (once funding is secured)! October is Supper Theatre time and it’s an event we all look forward to every year -make sure you keep the dates free to attend. You will not be disappointed! Best of luck and enjoyment to all involved. Until next time, Josette

In the first half, the game ebbed and flowed and with a big pitch, the full panel of players was needed for both teams. The Claregalway goalkeeper Kevin Daly has been a class act all season and kept a clean sheet again on Sunday. The full back line
based,
of Sean Kilmartin, Ciaran Hynes and Iarla Keating were on top and kept a very tight reign all day. They have played as a great unit all season and the speed of Sean coupled with the tackling and tenacity of Iarla complemented the great fielding of the full back Ciaran. All half back, Mark King, Tommy Molloy and Jamie Mc Gough did everything right and were the pivotal players during the first half with continuous Moycullen pressure.
The
tight marking of Mark King was a feature all season. Jamie is the teams versatility player and had a great game in the half back line. Tommy has been a real find in his first season. In the midfield area, captain Tomas Cogley led by example with Jack Hansbury working hard and doing great running. Matthew Kilgannon, the engine of the team, played a hurling game earlier in the morning, tracked up and down the pitch all day and played a pivotal role and an intelligent game.
The half forward line
included some of our star performers. Keelan Grainger and Sean Lyons are very skilful and caused problems all day for the Moycullen backs as they have done all season. The dynamo Ronan Manning was a joy to watch and scored a cracking goal in the first half. The rotating full forward line worked a treat for Claregalway.

What you want to know about Galway Contact Galway Contact is a voluntary organisation founded in 1981. Our main aim is to help older people who may feel lonely and isolated, through weekly visits. Organisation objective: Is to hold out a hand of friendship, a friendly face and supportive voice for our older people in Galway. Every visit is completely unique and organised on a one-to-one basis. We are very aware of the need for confidentiality and sensitivity. Our visits are carried out in a very discreet and unintrusive way. How is our befriending visit set up: Our referrals are from Public Health Nurses, Galway City and Suburbs, Social Workers UCHG and Merlin Park Hospital, Neighbours, Family members etc. (We only visit when requested.) How do we recruit our volunteers: Our volunteers are recruited through Local Papers and Media. Each volunteer is interviewed. (Under present regulations it may be necessary for Galway Contact to obtain Garda clearance for any volunteer visiting an older person). Volunteers are made aware of the need for confidentiality and commkitment of their visit. Our visits: We cover all areas of Galway City and Suburbs. We visit older people who are living alone, (or some have family living away), also Nursing Homes and Unit 5 and Unit 6 in Merlin Park Hospital. We have a dedicated and loyal volunteer force of 80 people. We are unique in so far as our volunteers visit on a one-to-one basis.
