A Word of GratitudeChristmas Schedule for Drum
At this time of year we exchange gifts and presents as a sign of appreciation for one another. It is time to say "thanks". I take this opportunity to thank most sincerely all who contribute to the life of the parish.
Many people in various ways, give of themselves to help meet the needs of our parish. I am truly grateful to the individuals and groups that fulfil any role in the Church and the community:-
Sacristan, Parish Secretary, Caretaker, FÁS supervisor, Leader worker, Altar Society, Choir, Readers, Eucharistic Ministers, Altar Servers, Area Collector/Distributors and School Staff (Teachers, Secretaries and Caretakers), The people who erected the crib, decorated the Church, polished the floors and anyone who hepled in any way to prepare for Christmas.
I applaud all the voluntary groups, sporting and social, responding to the needs of our community. These groups and organisations give of their time and themselves to make this such a wonderful and caring community. Keep up the good work and thanks to all once again.
Welcome Home
I would like to welcome home all parishioners returning from overseas and from other parts of the country to spend the Christmas among us. I am glad to see you all back and hope you have a joyful and peaceful Christmas.
Remember...As you celebrate Christmas may you be touched with the gifts of joy and peace.
- Remember and pray for the sick of the Parish especially those who cannot be with us today, those at home or in hospital.
- Remember and pray for the members of our community who have died during the year. We remember also anyone who has lost a loved one.
- Remember a neighbour or friend who is alone, don;t forget to look in on them... it would mean so much to them.
Fr. Ray

By Robert Louis Stevenson
Loving Father, Help us to remember the birth of Jesus.
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clever hearts.
May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake.
Amen.

Message from Brian Carroll, Chairman of the Roscommon Supporters Club
Attention now turns to May 2010 and Roscommons trip to London. The supporters club are travelling on the following flights:
It is hoped (depending on numbers) to have a bus transfer us from London Stansted to our recommended hotel, The Crown Moran Hotel in Cricklewood. This bus would also take us back to the airport on Monday and also take us to the game on Sunday in Ruislip.
We have agreed a deal with the Crown Hotel in Cricklewood for rates for rooms. A double/twin room will cost £95 per room per night when book by ringing the hotel and quoting our reservation number. If you do not quote the reservation number or book on line the room will cost you £120. A triple room is also available at £105 per room per night.
We have a limited number of rooms reserved for the supporters club so it is advised to book as soon as possible. Anyone who wishes to get the reservation number is asked to contact myself on 087-2420896 as soon as possible. Exact prices of bus transfers will be known soon and will include a reduction for members of the supporters club. And remember, membership of the Roscommon GAA supporters club costs just €20.

More Information

Email: asap@gaaroscommon.ie
Telephone: County ASAP Programme Officer, Noel Collins 086-1984252
Hi All;
I am sure you are all aware that our Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention (A.S.A.P.) officer Noel Collins has been very active in the promotion of this programme throughout Roscommon. Noel has now arranged that a special sign, advertising this programme, will be erected at every G.A.A. venue in the county and he has the signs ready for distribution to the clubs.
This initiative will be launched on Sunday evening 22nd November at 7.00pm in the Abbey Hotel and the special guest on the night will be Tyrone Senior team manager Mickey Harte.
Noel must be complimented for his trojan work in this area and we hope that every club in the county will be represented on the evening to support this great initiative; clubs may bring along as many members as they wish, no restrictions on numbers. We hope that each club will collect their sign on the night and have it erected in a prominent position on the club grounds; see you all in the Abbey on Sunday 22nd.

Clann na nGael Club Notes
U-21 Championship
Clann na nGael 1-6 Padraig Pearses 1-6
The Clann na nGael under 21 team played their second game in the championship on Saturday last in Johnstown. Clann were very slow out the blocks and trailed 1-5 to 0-1 at the break. Things got worse after the restart as Pearses increased their lead to 8 points. Enough was enough for Clann as points from Cathal Shine, Donal Shine and James Keegan brought Clann to within a goal of our neighbours. Clann were now throwing everything at the Pearses defence and they were finally rewarded in injury when Daniel Qualter fisted the ball to the back of the Pearses net. Clann must play Pearses again on Saturday to see who progresses to the semi final.
Team and Scorers: Cathal Hannon, Cormac Harney, Colin Nicholson, Cathal Duignan, Seanie Walsh, David Flynn 0-1, Kevin Naughton, Donal Shine 0-3, Daniel Qualter 1-0, Ronan Killian, Darragh Lennon, Graham Petit, Ross Naughton, Cathal Shine 0-1, Neill Harney. Subs: Niall Lennon, Connor Jordan, James Keegan 0-1.
U-14 Blitz
The Clann na nGael under 14s took part in a blitz in Kiltoom over the past two Thursdays. Clann qualified for a place in the top group when they finished Runners up in a group featuring Padraig Pearses, St Aidans and Strokestown in the first week's blitz.
On Thursday last Clann were pitted in a group with Roscommon Gaels, St Brigids and Strokestown. The lads were very unlucky not to have topped the group. They played some fine football especially in the second week's games.
Players who took part: Aaron Shine, Ritchie McManus, Martin Costello, Shane Petit, Patrick Harney, Ultan Harney, Rian McNamara, Eoin Forde, Malcom O'Hanlon, Colin Meehan, David Kildea, Jack Connaugthon, Mark Shine, Cian Mc Manus, Cillian Bannon, David Connaughton.

Clann na nGael Notes
International Rules
On Sunday last Clann na nGael hosted an international game at Johntsown for the first time in the club's history. Australia came with a big reputation but Ireland put them to the sword with a 79 to 8 win in the 'B' game. In the 'A' game scores were that little bit harder to get and Australia ran out 31 to 25 winners. This result sets up a great second test which will be played in St Ann’s club in Dublin. A great day was had by all in the clubhouse before, during and after the games.
The club would like to thank the Australian and Irish teams for their presentations on Sunday evening. The day wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for all the help received on the day. So thank you to all those who helped out on the day.
Under 21 Championship
Clann na nGael 1-5 Castlerea 0-6
The Clann na nGael u-21 team played their first game in the championship in a stormy Ballinlough on Saturday last. The game had been switched from Castlerea earlier in the day. This didn’t faze Clann as they raced into a 1-3 to 0-2 half time lead.
Clann had to dig deep in the second half as both Castlerea and the elements came on strong. Clann held on for a deserved win and now go on to play Padraig Pearses on Saturday
Team: Cathal Hannon, Eugene Petit, Colin Nicholson, Cathal Duignan, Cormac Harney, David Flynn, Kevin Naughton, Donal Shine, Graham Petit, Ross Naughton, Cathal Shine, Ronan Killian, Niall Lennon, Seanie Walsh, Neill Harney. Subs: James Keegan, Conor Jordan.

Clann na nGael to host International Rules game
Whilst the International Rules series has been put on hold for 2009 the series at Masters level will continue over the coming two weekends when the Australian Wombats come visiting.
The series commenced in 2002 when a Dublin selection played the Australian visitors followed the following year by a visit to Australia by a group from Dublin. In 2004 the Australians visited Ireland and played two tests with Ireland winning both games. Ireland visited Australia in April 2006 and retained the trophy, with the Australians visiting us in October 2008 but being unable to wrest the trophy, which had been renamed after one of the stalwarts of the Masters game Paddy Gaffney, from our possession. The Australians had their first victory in the series in October 2008 when Ireland visited Australia but returned minus the trophy - a situation which we hope to rectify over the next couple of weeks.
The Australians first game here is on Friday 23rd October when they play an Irish Selection in a non test match at Kingspan Breifni Park, Cavan (7.30pm start).
The first in the two test series will take place at the splendid Clann na Gael at Johnstown outside Athlone on Sunday 25th October. A “B” game commences proceedings at 2.30pm followed by the "A" game at 4.30pm. The Clann na Gael club have put together a great programme to ensure that this will be a memorable occasion.
The second test will be held at St. Anne’s in Bohernabreena on Saturday 31st October. The home club of Dublin’s Joe and Alan McNally are planning a spectacular Halloween welcome for the Wombats. Proceedings get under way with a "B" game at 1.00pm followed by the "A" test at 3.00pm.
The Full Irish Panel for both the A and B games is as follows;

Ireland visited Australia in April 2006 and retained the trophy, with the Australians visiting us in October 2008 but being unable to wrest the trophy, which had been renamed after one of the stalwarts of the Masters game Paddy Gaffney, from our possession. The Australians had their first victory in the series in October 2008 when Ireland visited Australia but returned minus the trophy - a situation which we hope to rectify over the next couple of weeks.
The Australians first game here is on Friday 23rd October when they play an Irish Selection in a non test match at Kingspan Breifni Park, Cavan (7.30pm start).
The first in the two test series will take place at the splendid Clann na Gael at Johnstown outside Athlone on Sunday 25th October. A “B” game commences proceedings at 2.30pm followed by the "A" game at 4.30pm. The Clann na Gael club have put together a great programme to ensure that this will be a memorable occasion.
The second test will be held at St. Anne’s in Bohernabreena on Saturday 31st October. The home club of Dublin’s Joe and Alan McNally are planning a spectacular Halloween welcome for the Wombats. Proceedings get under way with a "B" game at 1.00pm followed by the "A" test at 3.00pm.

Clann na nGael Notes
Ladies U-14 Division 1A Championship Final
Clann na nGael 1-13 St Ciarans 1-0
The Thomas Nolan & Co. Taxation Consultants sponsored Clann na nGael U-14 girls were crowned County Champions on Saturday in Kiltoom. This is the second year in a row that Clann are U-14 kingpins but the performance last Saturday was a step above anything seen from this team before. From the throw-in Clann put constant pressure on the St Ciarans defence and didn’t relent this pressure for the whole of the first half. Kayleigh Dunning fired Clann ahead in the first minute with a point from play and this was quickly added to by a point from Hazel Menton. This was followed by a an excellent point from Rebecca Naughton on the run and on 11 minutes Saoirse McManus extended the lead to four points. Despite St Ciarans best endeavours they couldn’t penetrate a Clann rearguard where the fullback line of Aileen McEvilly, Ciara Costello and Aoibhin Golden were repelling all attacks. After 15 minutes Rebecca Naughton got her second score which was quickly followed by another point from Saoirse McManus. The last five minutes of the half belonged to Kayleigh Dunning as she split the posts on three occasions, two of these points coming from very tight angles. Ashley-Rose Coyle was on hand to score Clann’s penultimate point of the half to leave St Ciarans with an uphill battle.
But St Ciarans lifted their game just after the interval and pressure on the Clann defence resulted in the ball being fouled in the small square and a penalty being awarded. This was dispatched to the net and the lead was down to 7 points. Orla Ward in the Clann goal made a point blank save at this point before the Clann duo of Ciara Galvin and Orla O’Neill re-established their dominance in midfield and Kayleigh Dunning was on hand to avail of this with a point on 5 minutes. A good run from Kayleigh Dunning forced St Ciarans goalkeeper Honor Ennis into another great save but the rebound was eventually finished to the net by Kayleigh and the match was over as a contest. Clann had emptied their substitute’s bench by this stage and there was no change in the scoreboard for 15 minutes until Orla O’Neill scored a point following a run through the centre on 23 minutes. The same girl repeated the trick two minutes into injury time to round of the scoring. Clann’s defence as a unit were excellent while there were some great passing moves around the field resulting in some fine scores with Rebecca Naughton and Kayleigh Dunning the fulcrum of these attacks. Clann’s Captain Ciara Galvin accepted the Cup from County Board Chairperson Marie McAleer after the game. Congratulations to the management team of Terry O’Neill, Mickey Dunning and Aisling Egan whose hard work paid off on the day.
Team: Orla Ward, Aileen McEvilly, Ciara Costello, Aoibhin Golden, Aoibheann Curley, Marissa Murray, Sarah O’Sullivan, Orlagh O’Neill 0-2, Ciara Galvin, Ciara Quinn, Rebecca Naughton 0-2, Ashley-Rose Coyle 0-1, Saoirse McManus 0-2, Kayleigh Dunning 1-5, Hazel Menton 0-1. Subs: Ciara Connaughton, Shauna Bannon, Lola Omotosho, Ruth McManus, Kristy Warby, Lisa Dolan.

Clann na nGael Ladies Notes
U-14 Division 1 Championship Semi-Final
Clann na nGael Lions 6-8 St Brigids 1-8
The 'Thomas Nolan & Co, Taxation Consultants' sponsored Clann U-14 girls qualified for the county final on next Saturday 10th after a hard fought victory over near neighbours St Brigids in Kiltoom on Friday last. Despite the scoreline this match was in doubt until the last ten minutes when Clann pulled away from their opponents with a flurry of scores. Clann played against the wind in the first half and needed two goals from Saoirse McManus and Shauna Bannon to leave the sides level at the break. Some excellent points from Kayleigh Dunning and Orla O’Neill put Clann ahead before Ciara Quinn struck with a decisive 1-1 which gave Clann breathing space. St Brigids hit back with a goal of their own but Clann’s class shone true with further goals from Saoirse McManus, Ashley-Rose Coyle and Orlagh O’Neill. In order to retain the U-14 title Clann must defeat St Ciarans who already beat Clann in the Feile Final this year.
Team: Orla Ward, Sarah O’Sullivan, Ciara Costello, Aoibhin Golden, Aoibheann Curley, Marissa Murray, Aileen McEvilly, Orlagh O’Neill 1-2, Ciara Galvin 0-1, Ciara Quinn 1-1, Kayleigh Dunning 0-3, Ashley-Rose Coyle 1-0, Shauna Bannon 1-0, Saoirse McManus 2-1, Ruth McManus. Subs: Hazel Menton, Lola Omotosho, Kirsty Warby, Ciara Connaughton, Rebecca Naughton.
U-14 Division 3B Semi-Final
Best of luck to the Clann na nGael Cubs who play Shannon Gaels today Tuesday 6th October in their U-14 semi-final in Kilbride at 6pm. If they win the girls will face Kilglass Gaels in the final next Saturday.
There will be a total of five U-14 Ladies Finals taken place on Saturday and it's unfortunate they will be clashing with the U12 and Junior Finals but have been fixed for that date for a number of weeks, and can't be moved to Sunday as there is a round of minor matches on. Times and venues of these will not be confirmed until the last of the semi-finals are decided on Wednesday.
Minor Division 1 Championship
Clann na nGael Lions 2-10 St Brigids 0-6
Clann commenced the minor championship with victory over St Brigids in Johnstown on Sunday last. Early points from Michelle Harney-Nolan and Blana Gately put Clann ahead before an Aoife McManus point and a Blana Gately penalty left Clann leading 1-5 to 0-3 at the break.

Clann na nGael Lions 6-8 St Brigids 1-8
The 'Thomas Nolan & Co, Taxation Consultants' sponsored Clann U-14 girls qualified for the county final on next Saturday 10th after a hard fought victory over near neighbours St Brigids in Kiltoom on Friday last. Despite the scoreline this match was in doubt until the last ten minutes when Clann pulled away from their opponents with a flurry of scores. Clann played against the wind in the first half and needed two goals from Saoirse McManus and Shauna Bannon to leave the sides level at the break. Some excellent points from Kayleigh Dunning and Orla O’Neill put Clann ahead before Ciara Quinn struck with a decisive 1-1 which gave Clann breathing space. St Brigids hit back with a goal of their own but Clann’s class shone true with further goals from Saoirse McManus, Ashley-Rose Coyle and Orlagh O’Neill. In order to retain the U-14 title Clann must defeat St Ciarans who already beat Clann in the Feile Final this year.
Team: Orla Ward, Sarah O’Sullivan, Ciara Costello, Aoibhin Golden, Aoibheann Curley, Marissa Murray, Aileen McEvilly, Orlagh O’Neill 1-2, Ciara Galvin 0-1, Ciara Quinn 1-1, Kayleigh Dunning 0-3, Ashley-Rose Coyle 1-0, Shauna Bannon 1-0, Saoirse McManus 2-1, Ruth McManus.

Clann na nGael Notes
Four County Finals
The coming weekend is going to be a very busy, and hopefully successful, weekend for the club. For starters we have the Under 12 final with the Clann lads taking on Padraig Pearses. This will be a tough encounter so we will need a large crowd down supporting them. Then it will be time to take the short journey to Fuerty where the Junior A team will take on local rivals St Brigid's. Paul and the lads will be expecting the same level of support as we had for the past few weeks. Then it will be time for the Junior B decider against Boyle. Hopefully you won't be too tired of standing up and stay around and shout on the lads. The Under 14 Girls also have a county final on Saturday against St Ciaran's. Time and venue have not been released at time of press. It would be nice to see a bit of colour around the area for the four teams on Saturday. It is very important that all the teams get all the support possible as we are up against top class opposition in all four finals, so come on and support all our players on Saturday.

Clann came out all guns firing at the restart, and a brace of points from Seanie Walsh put Clann's noses in front for the first time in the game. Ronan Killian put Clann further in front. But Ballinameen leveled matters once again with two quick points.
A Neill Harney point was sandwiched between two Ballinameen points. As it looked like Ballinameen were heading into the final, Alan Dunne stepped up with an equalizing point. A draw was a fair result and the replay is sure to be a cracker.

But goals from Maz Sweeney and Blana Gately put Clann in a commanding position at the break leading 2-8 to 1-3. Glaveys came more into the match on the resumption but the Clann defence as a whole were resolute and played very much as unit forcing the Glaveys forwards to shoot under pressure.

Midfielder Ruth Finlass received the Player of the Match award with captain Niamh Fallon receiving the Shield.
