  • Offertory collection: €528 Míle Buíochas.
  • Graveyard Masses: will take place on Friday 3rd July at 8pm Kiltallagh, Thursday 16th July at 8pm in Keel and Monday 20th July at 8pm in Old Keel.
  • Communal First Saturday (CFS): This year being the 100 anniversary of Our Lady appearing in Fatima, it seems appropriate, and in line with other pastoral areas in Kerry, that we should start the Communal First Saturday devotion in St Coleman’s Church Milltown in order to bring our area under Our Lady’s mantle of protection. Our Lady requested that the laity should

complete the First Saturdays to bring peace to the world.  Our Lady also promised that she would accompany you at the time of death if you complete the First Saturday. In the first instance we need a small group of parishioners from each parish to include Killorglin, Glenbeigh, Beaufort and Milltown to come together and discuss what it takes to set up the Communal First Saturday. Most pastoral areas have recently established the Communal First Saturday under the guidance of a local CFS coordinator.  For initial discussion please contact, if you feel you can respond to Our Lady’s request. 0669767312 (Parish Office) or 0876884124(CFS coordinator).
