The theme of the next International Eucharistic Congress is “The Eucharist: Communion with Christ and with one another.” The Congress will be held in Dublin from 10 June – 17 June 2012.
As part of the preparation for the International Eucharistic Congress to be held in Dublin in June 2012, the Eucharistic Congress Bell is being brought on pilgrimage throughout all the dioceses of Ireland. Many of you may even have encountered the bell at the National Ploughing Championships in Athy recently.
The 50th International Eucharistic Congress Theme Song, which was composed by Bernard Sexton, is shown hereunder.
The Eucharistic Congress Bell is a key symbol of the 50th International Eucharistic Congress. From its origins in the Dominican Convent of Portstewart, Co. Derry the Bell was more recently used to ring in the Jubilee Year 2000 in Glendalough, Co. Wicklow.
For centuries bells have been used by many religious denominations as a call to prayer, a call to gather. The tolling of the church bell alerted people to pray, to come together as a community with a common purpose in mind.
 Eucharistic Congress Bell The bell is currently in the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly and will be arriving in Thurles this weekend. It will reflect the invitation to faith, to prayer, to reconciliation and to mission which has always been important in our Christian tradition and is no less so today.
The bell’s itinerary during its visit to Thurles is as follows:
Saturday 5th November:
6.30pm – Mass in Bóthar Na Naomh. 7.30pm – Mass in the Cathedral.

Our thanks to Fr. Tomás O’Connell and Fr. Martin Hayes who provided us with this notification.
In the words of Charles Dickens ( A Tale of Two Cities) – “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us.”
What a week folks. Accusations of “attempted assassination,” – the unveiling of a possible political FF “Bag Man,” – a terrorist just barely in from the cold – a few overpaid self styled celebrities promising “all kinds of everything,” – a government politician who refuses to understand something when his salary depends upon him not understanding it – a highly regarded honest, generous, gutsy elderly gentleman, and all competing for the last remaining well paid job left in Ireland today.
Following weeks of interviews, the successful applicant was eventually decided today by his employer, the Irish people, voting by a record 1,007,104 votes. Now the last remaining job in Eire, thank God, has deservedly gone to the honest, generous, gutsy elderly gentleman, Mr Michael D Higgins. My congratulations you will do us proud.
To those whose curriculum vitae’s did not come up to scratch, take heart in the lyrics of “Love On The Rocks” composed by the great singer, songwriter, Neil Diamond:-
“First, they say they want you, How they really need you.
Suddenly you find you’re out there, Walking in a storm.
When they know they have you, Then they really have you.
Nothing you can do or say, You’ve got to leave, just get away.
We all know the song.”

New fighting words and music from Brian Corrigan, which will further assist fans in supporting our Tipperary Champions in their mammoth battle tomorrow against Kilkenny in Croke Park.
So all together now folks “Everyone in Tipperary Sing Is Feidir Linn”
Words to this lyric are supplied hereunder.
Everyone in Tipperary Sing “Is Feidir Linn.”
Kilkenny’s drive for five is forever gone.
Heroically they ended it, the boys from Slievnamon.
The blue and gold ribbon hang from the McCarthy Cup,
And be jasus Tipperary boys don’t want to give it up
Chorus
I’m tellin you it’s so, the boys will have a go.
Come on Tipperary lets do the two in a row.
The boys in blue and gold, we know we’re going to win.
Everyone in Tipperary sing “Is Feider Linn.”
Brave and fierce and true and not an ounce of fear,
The boys from Tipperary we love this time of year.
In Croke Park in Dublin town, belief that is so strong.
All Ireland hurling final day, that’s where we belong.
Repeat chorus
From Nenagh town and Roscrea, they’ll answer the call,
And half of the Obamas from the town of Moneygall.
They’ll be cheerin for Tipperary, to shout and roar and sing,
The boys in blue and gold just say “Is Feidir Linn.“
Repeat chorus
