Eleven disciples on a mountain side with Jesus. Surely these followers of Jesus were a wonderful colourful description of our church down the centuries.  Some were confident, some scared. Some had sought power, others denied Jesus. Some wanted hard facts, others trusted more easily.  A bit like ourselves today, wasn’t it!

 If you were planning to offer the gift of the Holy Spirit to the whole world, these were not the people you and I might choose to lead that campaign, were they!  

 Thankfully Gods ways are not our ways. We are not chosen based on our ability but based on our openess to saying yes to God! Like Mary, and the disciples on the mountainside; we are called to stand before the mystery of God in wonder and awe, and to say yes Yes to the love of God  Yes to the joy of community  Yes to the call of service

 Those who fall in love cannot help but share that joy with the world – in smiles, in kindness, in joy and in peace. 

 We who know the love of God are called to share that love with the whole world – inviting those we meet into this muinteareas, this love, which includes the whole world in its grace.

A Chara

West Limerick Resources, in cooperation with the Abbeyfeale Community Development Association (ACDA), would like to invite you to attend a public meeting in the Glorach Theatre Abbeyfeale on Thursday May 21^st at 7.30pm. The purpose of this meeting is to consult with the Community on developing the most appropriate community structures in Abbeyfeale to assist with the implementation of the recently prepared Community Enhancement Plan. 

As you may be aware, this dedicated Community Enhancement Plan was recently launched for Abbeyfeale.  It was commissioned by the Abbeyfeale Community Development Association (ACDA) to provide a blue print as to the future development of Abbeyfeale as a Town and Community. This plan covered a range of issues including Infrastructure, Tourism, Enterprise and Tidy Towns.  It also included a recommendation on the development of an appropriate umbrella community structure that would act a coordinating body and focus efforts to develop the town.

Working in cooperation with the ACDA, West Limerick Resources has agreed to facilitate the development of this structure, examining what is currently in place in the town and helping assess and implement any changes required taking on board the recommendations made in Abbeyfeale’s Enhancement Plan.

It is hoped that this structure will assist with the implementation of the proposed actions identified in the Community Enhancement Plan by making the development of community projects more efficient, offering added value and make funding applications more appealing to funding organisations. The existing structures in Abbeyfeale will continue to operate independently but would work towards the same strategic aims to develop Abbeyfeale as an attractive place to live, work and visit.

The indicative representation on this structure, as contained in Abbeyfeale’s Enhancement Plan, is as follows:

1.            Tidy Towns

2.            Business Representatives

3.            Festivals Representative

4.            Cultural Representative

5.            Representative from the National School

6.            Representative from Secondary School

7.            Representative from Youth Group

8.            Representative from Active Retired Group

9.            Representative from GAA

10.         Representative from Rugby Club

11.         Representative from Soccer Club

12.         Min  3  Representative  from  Community Sector

13.         Representative   from West Limerick Resources*

14.         Representative from Gardai*

15.         Elected Limerick County Councillor(s)*

*The latter 3 representatives may only be able to sit on the Board in an advisory capacity.

This meeting is your opportunity to have an input into the final format of this structure and to play and active role in enhancing Abbeyfeale for the benefit of all

Look forward to meeting you. Please feel free to distribute this invitation to those you think may be interested

Kind regards
