The Donegal Mountain Rescue Team is holding a Table Quiz on Good Friday 6^th April at 8.00p.m. in the Community Centre, Glenties.  Teams of four – 20 Euro per team.  Prizes for 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd and best junior team.  The Donegal Mountain Rescue Team provides an emergency service to those in difficulty in the remote and extreme terrain of our county.  We are a completely voluntary service, on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, relying mainly on public donations.  Proceeds from this quiz night will help greatly to ensure the continuation of this branch of the emergency services, so come along for a good night’s fun, while supporting this very worthy cause.

For reasons of insurance and safety, and following an independent survey by professional foresters, it has become necessary to fell 24 of the trees at the back of the Church.  These trees have reached the end of their life, and rot has set in on some of them.  There is a danger that they could fall in a storm and damage the Church, or injure or kill someone.  It is the legal responsibility of the owner (the Parish in this case) to act on the advice that we have received.  The trees will be replaced by new trees.

GAP Tourism would like to invite all past employees of Bord na Mona to the Official Launch of the GAP Walking Trail at the Bord na Mona Site, Kilraine.  This takes place on Thursday 29^th March 2007 at 10.00a.m.  Everyone is welcome.

The weekend of 30^th March – 1^st April is a ‘Renewal of Faith Weekend for Youth’ in Falcarragh.  Accommodation is available, free of charge.  For further details contact Fr. Denis Quinn at 9135196.
