Parish Newsletter Report of St Patrick's Day Meal
SAINT PATRICK’S DAY EVENING MEAL–With a background of Irish music, Shamrock supplied by Jack Kenny and a jovial atmosphere, once again, a great time was had by all who attended the St. Patrick’s Day meal. Thanks to Gareth who arranged the event and to Jack for supplying us all with Shamrock. Thank you too to all who supported the event especially those who came to the meal.
A special thank you to His Lordship Bishop Mullins for the pre-meal Blessing and his very interesting and informative talk on St. Patrick and the importance of his mission, a humble ex-slave who took our Faith over to Ireland and how the Irish had, in turn, spread our Faith across the world even back to our own Parish here in Wales. Pictures of the evening and more news can be found on our website. A report on the money raised will be printed soon.

Passover Meal
PASSOVER MEAL ON HOLY THURSDAY - After The Evening Mass of The Lord’s Supper there will be an opportunity for parishioners to partake of a very simple Passover Meal of lamb and unleavened bread in the church hall at Burry Port to commence at 8.15pm. Anyone wishing to attend is kindly asked to put their name on the list on the notice boards as soon as possible so that the correct amount of food can be prepared without any waste. We also require a large picture of the Last Supper that can be displayed in the hall during the meal, if anyone has such a picture and could lend it to us for the meal, we would be very grateful. Thank you.
LAMB, UNLEAVENED BREAD, ROASTED EGGS – Please kindly give your name to Mary (after Mass this weekend) if you would like to supply any of the food (cooked lamb, unleavened bread, eggs roasted in their shells) required for the meal. Thank you.

St Patrick's Day Meal: Photo Report
On the evening of the 17th of March, parishioners from Our Lady Star of he Sea, Burry Port, and Our Lady and St Cadoc's, Kidwelly, gathered to celebrate the feast day of the Welsh Saint who had converted a nation, and had become the Patron Saint of that nation: Ireland.
Indeed, before the meal, His Lordship Bishop Mullins gave a brief talk about the history of Saint Patrick which was of great interest.
He culminated by stating how the Faith had been taken to Ireland by this humble ex-slave and the Irish had, in turn, taken that Faith right across the world whether that be America or even back here in Wales and our own parish.
Wit a background of Irish music, a great time was had by all.
A big thanks to all who came on the night, and the staff of Taylor's Steak House once again.
A report on the money raised will be posted on this site soon.
Thanks also to Steven James who popped in at the end, for his steak and chips, having just been made Mayor of Burry Port, the first Catholic to hold that post. The fact that he still came along to our parish get-together despite his busy evening says everything about his dedication to the parish.

Parish Family News
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Mary Lloyd Warner (Pwll) who sadly passed away recently.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SYMPATHY –
Mrs. Margaret Thomas, her daughters Julia and Andrea and families, would like to express their sincere gratitude to Father Thomas, all friends and parishioners for the kindness shown to them on the recent very sad bereavement of their much loved son and brother, Ronnie Thomas. They would like everyone to know that the concern, sympathy and caring shown to them by all, was a great comfort at a very sad and difficult time and will not be forgotten.
---
Prayer for the dead is one of the greatest acts of charity we can perform. Our prayers help them during their time in Purgatory, so that they can enter more quickly into the fullness of heaven. These prayers are especially suited for offering a novena on behalf of the dead, or for praying during those seasons of the year (November, in the Western Church; Lent, in the Eastern Church) designated by the Church as times of fervent prayer for the faithful departed.
