Club and Parish proud of Eoin Daly.

Eoin Daly plays under 16 hurling and football with Dunderry.He has improved hugely at his sports of choice.In last year's under 17 football final he kicked  65's over the bar.I put this down to practice and perseverance.
He attends Saint Pat's Secondary school in Navan and is in transition year.Shortly himself and I think 13 of his schoolmates are off to India where they will work for free in furtherance of the Mission of Mother Teresa for 13 days running.
Saint Pat's are blessed to have had volunteers to do this for a number of years.
Last weekend Eoin addressed the congregations at all Masses in the Parish,setting out his itinerary and his reasons for going there.I was at Dunderry Mass and he got as near a standing ovation as it is possible to get from a Mass congregation.
Afterwards the Mass goers made contributions to help allay his costs,all of which he must meet himself,any excess going to the unwanted souls and bodies he will tend to when he arrives in India.
I understand that given the austere times that are in it the Mass goers again stumped up an amount which is not inconsiderable.The same happened in the Parishes of the other volunteers.
Deserving charities are supported after Mass every weekend in this Parish..Of those who do not attend Mass I have no doubt that a minority do support deserving charities from time to time but venture the opinion that  it is the Massgoers who dig the deepest consistently.
In these times it is great to see that we still rear young men of such calibre who are willing to self sacrifice for the good of their less well off and destitute brethren and sister en.
This garsun is a son of Dan Daly and his wife Rose (Loughran ) and is living proof of the adage that an ounce of breeding is worth a ton of feeding.
We wish him well in India.

P.S.On the subject of Mother Teresa ,if I am not mistaken both herself and Princess Diana died the same time.The latter Candle in the wind ,who God help her,was a serial adulteress was deified by secular Western society and idolised by a  fawning and pagan media,both electronic and paper based,while Mother Teresa's motives were questioned by the precise same media.
Bit like now ,where we have  a secular and  an anti Catholic offshoot of a useless atheist United Nations feminist cabal belittle dedicated nuns who provided for mothers unwanted by their families when the State and the United Nations didn't want to know .
Pity they wouldn't watch the Fior Sceal on TG4 (Five Cameras ) which shows the inhumane treatment being meted out daily to unfortunate Palestine men ,women and children  by an Israeli State which is imposing conditions which are worse than slavery.
I know that the Jews were the subject of attempted annihilation by Hitler and his adherents but to treat the Palestinians as they do dishonours their humanity. They above all should know better.
There won't be a word from the U,N,condemning  Israel
.Easier by far to pick on a religion they hate and on aged Nuns ,who are continuously vilified. even by well paid secular academic feminists who never miss an opportunity to stick the boot in.
Back to Princess Diana and mother Teresa.
A very elderly lady ,and she was a lady,and myself discussed the matter of Di's  death at the time.
"If she was at home minding her kids,like she should be,she would be alive now,"
Hard to argue against that really.
