St. Peter's Well
St. Patrick is recorded as having been in this area in 455 A.D., and founded a church on a Sunday, hence the name Domnach De ( Donadea) meaning Sunday's Church.
Tradition has it that St. Patrick blessed a well in Greenhills, Donadea, on the Feast of
St. Peter and Paul, and this is why the well was dedicated to St. Peter.
The annual Ecumenical Pilgrimage will take place , on this Monday, June 28th.
Beginning at 7pm from St. Peter's Church Donadea and arriving at St. Peter's Well, Greenhills at 8pm.. Everyone is
welcome; please bring some food and drink to share with others.

Many thanks to the members and leaders of Clane Folk Group, who will finish up this weekend for a well
deserved summer break. We will miss them at their regular Saturday evening Mass, and look forward to their return
in September.

Johnny and Breda Burcheal would like to thank Scoil Bhride and Clane Ceoltas for raising money to help send Sarah to the Special Olympics. It was very much

We have all been saddened to hear of the death of Dermot Earley Senior, former Army Chief of Staff and county footballer. Dermot spoke at our Novena here in Clane in May 2008 and his son Dermot Junior spoke at the Novena last month. Dermot was a man of deep Christian faith and an inspiriation to so many. We extend our sympathy to his wife Mary and his family.
