Tionóladh na gnáthsheirbhísí
in Ardteampall Chríost agus i séipéal
Choláiste Oideachais Eaglais na hÉireann,
Ráth Maonais. Impímid arís
ar na ministrí an fhoirm iniata leis
an litir seo a chomhlánú agus
í a sheoladh arais chugainn gan a
thuilleadh moille. Is oth liom a rá
ach scríobhaigí DALKEY ar
an gclúdach. Ní thuigeann
Lucht an Phoist an difríocht idir
Deilginis agus Deilgine!
|
The regular services
took place in Christ Church Cathedral and
the Church of Ireland College of Education,
Rathmines. We had to cancel once again the
evening service in November as it is now clashing
with the Advent service in the Cathedral.
We ask the clergy who are members of the
Guild to fill in and return as soon as possible
the enclosed form, signifying their availability
over the months January to June 2006. We are
always looking for new clergy to spread the
load. If you know of a potential new "volunteer"
with Irish, please forward a copy of this
form to her/him. |
|
I gcomhair Sheachtain na
hAontachta Críostaí tionóladh
an tseirbhís idirchreidmheach in
Ardteampall Chríost ar an 21ú
Eanáir 2005. An Téama "Críost,
an t-aon bhunsraith den Eaglais." B'é
an tUrramach Clóda Yambasu an seanmóraí,
neacht le Risteárd Ó Glaisne.
Glactar leis an mbailiúchán,
ar son Chumann Croise Dheirge na hÉireann
ar mhaithe leo siúd atá ag
fulaingt de bharr an Tsunami san Áis
agus ar son Scoil Éacúiméineach
na hÉireann.
|
The Interdenominational
Service during the Week of Christian Unity
was held on Friday 21 January 2005 in Christ
Church Cathedral with the Rev. Cloda Yambasu
from Galway as the guest preacher. We welcome
this continued link with the family of the
late Risteárd Ó Glaisne. The
collection was for the work of the Irish Red
Cross and those suffering from the terrible
effects of the Asian Tsunami, and also for
the Irish School of Ecumenics. |
| Sa samhradh,
bhí sé ar ár gcumas athcló
a chur ar An Tiomna Nua. Tá
cóipeanna ar fáil anois agus
sladmargadh an praghas atá orthu. Is
féidir linn an rud seo a chur i gcrích
de bharr maoracht mhaith dár gcuid
acmhainní airgid. Gabhaimid buíochas
le Coiste Litríochta an tSionaid as
an deontas a bhronnadh orainn san Earrach
maidir le Leabhar na hUrnaí Coitinne
2004. Maidir le síntiúis
nach lú ná €250 tá
an Cumann cáilithe chun aisíocaíocht
cánach a fháil ar shíntiúis
ó cháiníocóirí
ÍMAT agus is féidir le daoine
eile creidmheas cánach a fháil
iad féin. |
The year's major
event was the reprinting of An Tiomna
Nua. We are glad to report that copies
are now available at a very reasonable price.
We have been able to accomplish this as a
result of good husbandry of our funds. We
are also extremely grateful to the Literature
Committee of the General Synod for their grant
to us in the Spring for Leabhar na hUrnaí
Coitinne 2004. As regards subscriptions
of not less than €250 the Guild is qualified
to obtain a tax refund in respect of donations
from PAYE taxpayers while other individuals
can claim a tax credit. |

Tugadh cuireadh don Chumann
teacht chun cainte leis an gcumann stairiúil
áitiúil i gCluain Aois, Co.
an Mhuineacháin. Chuaidh Seathrún
Mac Mac Éin ann i mí Márta.
Thug an Cisteoir Oinigh agus an Rúnaí
Oinigh cuairt ar an Kilmore Clerical Asscociation
i mí Bealtaine. Bhaineamar an taitneamh
as an ócáid sin agus as an
gcairdeas Críostaí.
|
Seathrún
Mac Éin represented the Guild and gave
a talk to the local historical society in
Clones, Co. Monaghan on Friday 11 March. Both
the Hon. Secretary & Hon. Treasurer visited
the Kilmore Clerical Association on Wednesday
18 May. The Hon. Secretary gave a short talk
on the history and work of the Guild. We both
enjoyed the Christian fellowship of this occasion. |
| Maidir le cúrsaí
bolscaireachta - tá tagairt anois don
Chumann i Lámhleabhar 2005-2006 Bhord
na Gaeilge UCD. Scríobhann Seathrún
Mac Éin gach mí Scéal
na nGael sa Church Review agus cuirimid
fáilte roimh alt a scríobh ball
an Chumainn Aonghus Dwane le déanaí
sa Church of Ireland Gazette - tuigaimid
go meidh a leithéid ann ó am
go ham. Tá Aenghus ina chónaí
anois ar Inis Oirr. |
Publicity- the
Guild now features in the annual Bord na Gaeilge
UCD Handbook. There is Seathrún Mac
Éin's monthly column Scéal na
nGael in the Church Review and we now
welcome the recent Irish article by our member
Aonghus Dwane in the Church of Ireland
Gazette - we understand that this may
be a regular feature. Aenghus is living on
Inis Oirr. |

The Rev. Gordon Freeman,
Ardara, Co. Donegal has asked me again to
circulate to our members who are priests,
deacons or diocesan readers and would like
to conduct worship in Irish in Glencolumbkille,
that St. Columba's Parish Church can be
made available to them. They should contact
either Mrs Valerie King on 074-9730126 or
Rev. Freeman on 074 954 1124 email: ardara@raphoe.anglican.org.
Glencolumbkille is within the Donegal Gaeltacht
and many people from all over the world
come to Oideas Gael to learn or improve
their Irish and experience the culture.

| Chuaigh seanbhall
an Chumainn ar shlí na Fírinne
i mbliana - Téarlach Trinseach, Baile
Shláine, Co. na Mí. Measaim
gurb eisean an ball is sine agus is sinsearaí. |
One Guild member
died during the year, Téarlach Trinseach
of Slane, Co. Meath. I suspect he was one
of our oldest members. |
| Gabhaimid buíochas
leo siúd a chabhraigh go mór
le himeachtaí an Chumainn le linn na
bliana. Tá focal buíochais ar
leith tuilte ag Dónal Ceart-Oirmh Caird,
Mark Oirmh. Gardner, David Oirmh. Oxley agus
Risteárd Giltrap. |
We thank all who assisted
in the Guild's activities during the past
year. A special word of thanks is due to
David Oirmh. Oxley, Dónal Ceart-Oirmh.
Caird, Mark Oirmh. Gardner, and Risteárd
Giltrap.
