Walker and Egg Hunters turned out in force to  attended the Burren Walk which took place in Fanore on Easter Sunday. Outdoor enthusiasts of all ages  partook in either the 10k walk or the 2k Family Egg Hunt

 Adults and children alike took advantage of a welcome break in the inclement weather to stretch the legs and support the work of Sr. Ethel in Missionvale.

 A new inclusion  to this year’s event was the Family Egg Hunt which took place over a 2km course, and this proved to be extremely popular, especially with the younger ‘walkers’.

ENNIS PLAYERS  very kindly donated  tickets for their performance of THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD to Missionvale Ireland.

A packed auditorium, at AN GLOR music theatre in Ennis, were treated to an impeccable interpretation and performance of this masterpiece by the award-winning ENNIS PLAYERS acting group. 

All proceeds from this event will go to Sr Ethel Normoyle in Missionvale.

Building Project 2010 is a success

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

On Jan 26th, 2010, 2o volunteers returned from Missionvale SA having re-roof ed the Community Centre building. This building acts as a hub for the thousands of inhabitants of Missionvale. Indeed, what was noticeable while there were the number of daily enquiries to book the Community Centre for various activities.

 The predominantly Clare-based volunteers were ‘buddied’ with local inhabitants ,who worked alongside the volunteers in an effort to learn basic carpentry skills, thereby fostering some self-sufficiency for future maintenance.

In addition, the volunteers installed a comprehensive CCTV system in the Care Centre campus, which brings the centre right up to date in terms of Best Practice for Child Protection.

The volunteers also found time to assist in the feeding station, and also attended a Farewell Mass, presided over by Clareman Fr. Donough O Meara.

Plans are already afoot for another trip to Missionvale in early 2011.
