The Museum of Country Life in Castlebar, Co Mayo and local heritage centers in the Galway and Mayo area held an exhibition on Friday 9th of November 2018. The “Our Irish Women Project and Exhibition” was about celebrating the lives of women who had made a difference to life in the Galway and Mayo area. The Moylough Heritage Society chose to nominate the Apostolic Workers of Moylough. The Apostolic workers worked hard to help spread the faith and support the missionary Priests, Sisters and lay workers. They prayed, supplied material goods eg. vestments and altar linens, and financial support to areas where missionaries worked. As well as supporting there own Church, parishioners and families. Our National President Mary O’Connor and Galway President Maire Dempsey attended the opening ceremony. They were honored to be representing Apostolic Workers from all over Ireland and proud to be carrying on the work of those remarkable women and men.

The Armagh Archdiocese retreat was held in Dromantine, Newry on Sunday 15th April 2018. Father Pat Kelly was our animator. He gave two thought provoking talks. The first was about needing time to pray in our lives and taking faith from our own experiences. The second was about forgiveness and allowing the Holy Spirit to help with our difficulties. Father Aodhan McCrystal and Father Martin Kavanagh assisted with reconciliation and Mass. A lovely dinner was enjoyed by everyone. The gifts at the Offertory of Mass were small linens and a cope, all made by our ladies.

ELPHIN DIOCESE OF APOSTOLIC WORK. Here in Elphin Diocese most of the Branches of Apostolic Work are located towards the Southern end of the Diocese and in close proximity to Divine Word Missionaries at Donamon Castle, Roscommon, and we have always had good Missionary contact with them, so it came as no surprise last July when a lady who helps organises the Annual Family Day at the Castle approached Apostolic Work with an idea she had. Fr Norman Davitt, SVD would be celebrating 70 years as a Priest on 15th August, and presentations would be made to him on the Family Day by people/organisations from the local area. Fr Norman was born in Birmingham in 1921 and was ordained a priest in Techny, USA on 15th August 1947. When Mary approached us she had the idea of having a knitting group in Donamon on Family Day knitting a centimetre for every mile he travelled, but we thought about it and decided to knit a flag for every country he had lived in over his lifetime! Hence 2 ladies commenced knitting flags, England – his birthplace, Ireland – his home now, USA- where he did final Theology and Ordination, India – 8 years Missionary Work, Italy – Further study and Papua New Guinea – 9 years Missionary Work. Having completed the flags they were Crocheted together to form a wall hanging/small rug. Fr Norman was delighted with his most unusual gift, but Apostolic Work also put together a Lectern Fall, with the wording “Your Word is a Light for My Path” which now hangs in the Church in Donamon Castle. On the Family Day a young Chinese recently ordained SVD Priest was present and we presented him with a Sick Call set, which he was thrilled to receive.
