Deaths
We extend our sympathy and prayers to the families of those who died recently.
May they rest in peace:

* Joan Newbery, Evergreen Road
* Kay Hannon, Ashdale Park
* Ann Allen, Capwell Road
* Betty Mangan, South Douglas Rd.
* Canon Declan Crowley, retired P.P., Ovens.
Canon Declan, 82 years of age, died last Sunday. He served in our Parish as Curate for three terms. His final term was 1969 – 1980.  Recently as we travelled together to the Confirmation ceremony in Enniskeane, his native parish, he spoke of how he was looking forward to seeing the fruition of the restoration work on our Church.  Canon Declan, as one parishioner said, was unassuming, unpretentious and disarmingly humble, refreshing traits in a world of ‘sophistication’.  May God reward him for his years of service.
