ANOTHER LIFE - ANOTHER WORLD
Ask Fr. Jerry Galvin when he came to Knocklyon, his
reply will be "a week after September 11th last year. In
the past," he says, "there have been disasters throughout the world, but never have they been relayed worldwide and seen by so many people as they were actually happening." For him, like most of us, that date will
be forever etched upon our minds.
By now, most of us will be familiar with the presence
of Fr. Jerry at the Sunday Masses. Indeed, he may
have already called to your house for a friendly chat.
His hope is to visit a good number of households during his stay.
Fr. Jerry was born in Kinsale, Co. Cork, the son of a
taxi man. One thinks of that lovely town, perched on
the edge of the sea, a place of olde worlde charm, of
quiet inlets, yachts and ships. Who could ask for a
more idyllic childhood? However, those were the
depression years, World War II, with shortages,
rationing and poverty, and life was tough for everyone.
Educated by the Presentation Brothers and serving as
an altar boy in the Carmelite Church, it was not surprising that he entered the Novitiate after his
Matriculation.
He graduated from U.C.D. and spent his H.Dip year
teaching in Terenure College. Although he never
played rugby, he helped to train the Under 9's. (!) He
says that he would try his hand at almost anything. In
1958 he was ordained, and two years later, having fin-
ished his theology training and another year teaching
in Terenure College, he set off for Southern Rhodesia
(now Zimbabwe), with many tears shed by his parents
at his departure. His aunt thought he was too delicate
for mission work.
Life was exciting in Africa where he has spent more
than half of his life, but it was tough going at times. It
was not wild animals or snakes that were the greatest
dangers but the heat and yes, the cold also, as well as
the many insects and bugs that abound in the hot rainy
season. Fr. Jerry survived bouts of malaria, bilharzia,
amoeba and housemaid's knee (not from praying! but
from camping at outschools during the cold dry season
at 5,000 feet above sea level). Due to long exposure to
the tropical sun, he has had surgery a number of times
on his face and forehead. So don't be surprised if you
see him always wearing a hat.
Fr. Jerry has had a varied missionary experience,
beginning as a manager of a dozen schools, teaching
at primary and secondary levels, and in the minor
Seminary, and, since his return to Zimbabwe in 1986,
working with our young Zimbabwean Carmelites in
their formation/training. For eight years he did religious
broadcasting on the national radio. Then, of course,
there was the more pastoral work as in any parish:
preaching, teaching, Mass, and the other sacraments
and so on. There was also much administration work to
be done, lots of development, such as getting churches built, electricity and water installed and, especially
in times of drought, organising food relief schemes for
the poor.
It was at the height of the Liberation War (from 1975
to 1979) that Fr. Jerry was wounded by one of the
guerrilla fighters and had to leave Zimbabwe. As the
war was still on when he recovered and having completed a study sabbatical year, he went to work in
South. Africa, ministering in a multi-racial parish near
Cape Town. Six years ago he got another sabbatical
study year which he spent in Washington D.C. doing
the Carmelite certificate course.
He calls Knocklyon his Refuge in Dublin and the year
with us his Re-lnculturation Year, ministering to his own
people for a change, re-learning his Irish, learning to
do the hornpipe, to play the piano and to learn small
boat sailing, as well as improving his horse-riding.
Fr. Jerry is not due back in Zimbabwe until July this
year. He is delighted to be in our Carmelite Community
and to meet so many of the people in the area. If you
see him at the back of the Church after Sunday Mass,
why don't you stop and say "Hello"?

We extend a warm welcome on
behalf of Parishioners to newly
arrived Fr. Micheal O'Neill
(pictured here) the latest addition
to
the
Carmelite
Community in Knocklyon.
Fr. Micheal joins us having
spent 20 years in Rome. We
hope to bring you more information about Fr. Micheal in
our next edition. Meanwhile
we trust that he won't find the
climatic change too difficult,
and that he will enjoy his new
posting where the warmth of
the community can compensate
for any drop of temperature!
(Well, most days anyway.)
PARISH FORUM NEWS
As reported in our last issue, the inaugural meeting of
the new Parish Forum took place in January with
almost fifty people in attendance. A second meeting of
this Group has since occured.
Items discussed at the February meeting included
the progress to date on the Parish website currently
under construction, and proposed plans for road routing and parking spaces at St. Colmcille's Primary
Schools.
At its next meeting the Forum will examine the questionnaires completed by Parishioners in October last
with a view to taking responses into account in future
Parish planning. This meeting will also include an orientation programme - facilitated by Donal Harrington.

The forgiveness of God - like the love of God of
which it is part and parcel - is infinite and unfailing. This truth emerges clearly in the pages of
the Gospel. The stories told by Jesus, His teaching on prayer, the example of His life, all present
a picture of a God who loves us, understands our
weaknesses, welcomes us as we are. He is the
tender Father of wayward children. He is a King
who reinstates the traitorous servant. He is a
Shepherd seeking out the lost sheep. When the
rebel returns there is no recrimination only
rejoicing! That is why the celebration of
Reconciliation should perhaps be more partylike than penitential!
One thing only can block God's forgiveness
and stand in the way of that peace of spirit it is
intended to bring about - our refusal to forgive
another. Any other! " T h e merciful will receive
mercy," Jesus assures us many times. Only the
son who refuses to come home, only the servant
who steels his heart against his fellow, will
remain excluded. It is their choice. How shamefully, how frequently we have offended is never
the point. Just forgive, and we will be forgiven!
Of all the wondrous words of Jesus, possibly
the most awesome and inspiring are those He
spoke as the soldiers hammered nails into His
hands and feet: "Father; forgive them for the\)
know not what they do." Only a heart filled
with ultimate understanding, only a spirit selfless
and free, could utter such words. Ponder them at
length. They are inexhaustible in their power to
inspire; to melt the crippling bitterness of the
heart; to calm the raging hatred that immobilises us.
Do you want to set yourself free? Pray the
words of Jesus. "Father.; forgive them for they
know not what they do."

new parents and children again at our Open Day,

for this big event the children and parents celebrated
'Searmanas an tSolais' our Ceremony of Light, on
Thursday the 2nd of February. The following evening

jUNIOK SCHOOL NEWS • JUNIOR SCHOOL NEWS
An activity-filled January and February have shortened the
Winter for teachers and children alike. The Curriculum has
been broadened to include Gymnastics, Aquatics, Drama and
Dance. Pauline Molloy has introduced Gymnastics to Senior
Infants much to their approval. First Classes have gone to
Templeogue pool for swimming lessons. Ms. Mulqueen has
been teaching set-dancing to some Second Class pupils and Ms.
Copeland has been offering Drama classes after school. Camilla
Dorcey facilitated another very successful Arts Extravaganza
which was enjoyed by Ms. Johnston's and Ms. Mathew's classes.
All of the Second Class pupils have received the Sacrament
of Reconciliation and will now direct their attention towards
First Holy Communion which takes place on three May
Sundays.
FUND-RAISING FOR SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT
We hope to organise a school walk on March 20th in order to
raise funds for new technologies. All children will be asked to
seek sponsorship for the walk from friends and neighbours.
Hopefully many parents will join us on the walk. The children
will reap the dividend from September next when we hope to
introduce Information and Communications Technologies to
every classroom. Our application for extra facilities at both
schools has not progressed as fast as we had hoped. Parents
have promised to make this an Election issue, as they feel a
Government's commitment to future generations can easily be
judged by its investment in the Primary School. After all every
child in Knocklyon will depend on his/her early development
for a brighter future. Surely this development cannot be certain
if the child spends most of his formative years in substandard
classrooms. There are many other improvements needed not
least of which are a proper school access road, droproff area and
car park. The Board of Management is committed to beginning
this work during the Summer provided the Department of
Education allocates the funding.
SPORTS
The G.A.A. season will soon resume with Second
Class pupils participating in Hurling, Camogie and
Football on the Green after school. Mr. Sweeney
and Mr. Tierney organised a very enjoyable indoor
football league for Second Class pupils. Tickets for
forthcoming matches at Parnell Park will be raffled among
pupils. Enda McNulty from Ballyboden St. Endas will assist
with coaching in our last term.

GREEN SCHOOLS PROJECT
Mr. Carney has been busy co-ordinating our environmental
awareness campaign. All classes now use biodegradable bin liners. We have installed a receptacle for recycling computer ink
cartridges. The bulbs planted in Autumn are now in full bloom.
GAEILGE
Ms. Carr and Ms. McDonald, assisted by many of their colleagues, have been busily preparing our revised school plan for
the Irish language. The emphasis is focused on oral language.
We hope to make Gaeilge more visible and audible in the
school environment and would really appreciate if parents
would practice cupla focal sa bhaile gach la.
MUSIC IN THE CLASSROOM
360 pupils from First and Second
Classes travelled to the National
1 1
Concert Hall, Earlsfort Terrace, on i l l
February 5th to attend the 'Irish
Times' Music In The Classroom concert. This concert has now
become an annual event for our pupils and it provides an
invaluable opportunity for children to become familiar with the
instruments of the orchestra in a concert hall setting.
The National Symphony Orchestra performed a mixture of
classical and popular music and the children were introduced to
the instruments of the orchestra.
The Presenter was Gearoid Grant, ably assisted by Peter
Sweeney, Emmanuel Lalor and the Dex McLoughlin School of
Ballet.
There is more music in store this month as Ms. Mulkerrin has
organised that the acclaimed group. Classical Graffiti, will perform for the pupils in the school on Wednesday, March 13th.
TRANSITION YEAR STUDENTS
For some years now, the Junior School has facilitated Transition
Year students seeking work experience in a school setting. This
has proved to be a mutually rewarding experience for staff and
students alike. It's great to see former pupils returning to their
old primary school to give of their time and their talents. This
year alone we will be facilitating almost 30 Transition Year students throughout the course of the school year.
In order to assist in the organisation and placement of
Transition Year students we would advise all those contemplating doing work experience in the Junior School to apply in writing to Ms. Mulkerrin who is co-ordinating student placements.

What excitement on the last day of January. Eoin Colfer, the
famous children's writer, paid a visit to the school. Eoin,
from Wexford, used to be a primary teacher and is now a
full-time writer. He was recently nominated for the
Whitbread Award for his book Artemis Fowl. Other books
include Benny And Omcir, Benny And Bcibe and The Wish
List. The children in Sixth Class have been reading his
books and are huge fans.
Eoin enthralled our Sixth Classes in the hall with stories
about his journeys in Tunisia and Saudi Arabia, his school
days in Wexford and how he goes about writing. During his
talk he encouraged the children to read and write and said he
hoped one day in the future to read some of their published
works. After a question and answer session, Eoin was presented with a framed picture of artwork and a bound book of
children's reviews of his works. Before signing copies of his
books, Eoin let us have a peep at his not yet published work
The Arctic Patrol.

The recent spell of cold weather inspired Ferdia
Cahill of 6th Class to pen the following lines.
WIND
Wind rustles the leaves
Churning them into endless spirals
It slices through trees like an icy blade,
With swords as cold as corpses
It catapults obstacles into orbit,
As it rampages down laneways

Wind hurtles over the sea
Smacking against the rocks
The Sixth Classes in the school discussed and put forward
suggestions as to the charity for our Cake Sale. The Fifth
Classes listened to their suggestions and voted to donate
over € 8 8 5 to Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin.
Bobby Hawkshaw visited the school, spoke at assembly
about the work of the hospital and thanked all the pupils and
parents for their generosity.

Table Quiz
The quiz, which took place in Ballyboden St. Enda's
G.A.A. Club on Friday, 30th November, 2001, was
not only a most enjoyable occasion but was also a
highly successful fund-raising event. This was thanks
to the management and staff of Ballyboden St.
Enda's, to the many kind sponsors of donations and
prizes and to all those who made up the capacity
attendance on the night.
A very special word of thanks to Quizmaster Tom
Geraghty for all his hard work, both on the big
occasion and in the days leading up to it. As well as
conducting the quiz, Tom also compiled all the
questions, organised the order of things generally and
provided the magic that made it all work. It wouldn't
have been possible without him.
To all concerned we say a sincere thank you. We
look forward to many more such enjoyable occasions
in the same venue in the future.
Theory Exams
Success and good luck to all band members whose
Theory exams took place on 28th February last (sighs
of relief all round). We are confident that everyone did
their best in the exams and we hope that the results
will do great credit to all concerned.
New Members
Congratulations to all new band members following
successful auditions/interviews of December last.
Your new teachers have now been appointed and
we hope to be able to commence tuitions and
rehearsals in early March. All concerned will be
notified accordingly.
National Band Championships
This year, the National Band Championships will take
place in Athlone on 6th and 7th April, i.e. during the
weekend before schools re-open after the Easter
holidays. If possible, we will enter at least one of our
bands in this year's championships and members will
be advised accordingly in advance.
We are proud to remind our readers that our Wind
Ensemble took First Prize in last year's Junior Section
of the championships.

f community council ;
The Annual General Meeting of the Knocklyon
Community Council will be held in the Community
Centre on Tuesday, 26th March, at 8.15 p.m. All
residents of Knocklyon are welcome to attend.
All our local representatives do us the honour of
attending on that evening and this year should be
no exception especially with an election due. This
will not be a politician bashing occasion but the
KCC will be drawing up a 'Priority List for our
area' covering such items as Public Transport,
Policing, Planning and various other items of high
importance to the residents of Knocklyon. There
are eight Independent seats open for election on
the KCC, so new blood and new ideas are always
welcome.
It has come to our attention that some residents
of our area are being intimidated and bullied by
youths, both boys and girls, of the ages between
14 and 15. This is an intolerable situation. W e
have seen more activity recently from the Gardai
in the area, with regular beats taking place which
is very welcome. The Gardai are aware of the
problem, but we would also ask residents to keep
an eye out for your neighbour if you think he or
she is at risk, and do not be afraid to contact the
Gardai at Rathfarnham.
Whilst the traffic in Knocklyon is flowing a lot
better than a year ago, parking, or should we say
'abandoning' cars is still a problem. We know in
most cases it is only for 'five seconds' and it is 'not
blocking anyone', but one day it could prevent
some of the emergency services from getting to
their destinations. Please take note of 'Double
Yellow' lines at all times, and think of the 'other
guy'.

ST. COLMCILLE'S COMMUNITY SCHOOL
SCHOOL MUSICAL
There is great excitement and activity all round the school these
days as preparations for 'Oliver' step up a gear or two. Students can
be found practicing their lines and songs in quiet corners of the
halls and corridors at all available times of the day. The main hall
resounds with old favourites such as 'Consider Yourself, 'Pick A
Pocket Or Two', T d Do Anything' and 'Food Glorious Food' as
the chorus groups practice after school and at the weekends. The
show will take place during the week of the 11th March. Tickets
and further details are available from the school.
ART N E W S
Congratulations to Youssef Sarhan (2K) who won first prize in the
11-14 year old category in the regional stage of the Credit Union
Poster Competition. Congratulations also to Claire Lennon (ID)
who came second. Well done to Richard Miley (2S) who came first
and to Hannah Byrne (2Y) who came second in the 14-17 year old
category of the Regional Stage. There will be a prize-giving ceremony in the school on Saturday, 9th March.
D*ZINE - Y O U N G E N T R E P R E N E U R
D*ZINE is a group of three 2nd Year students, Sarah Bentham,
Siobhan Cullen and Rachael Ruddy. They are participating in the
Young Entrepreneur scheme run by Golden Vale and City &
County Enterprise Boards. After the success of their Christmas
Centre pieces, they have decided to concentrate on festive occasions. Their latest product is hand-painted themed glasses filled
with sweets, chocolates or flowers. We wish them every success in
the upcoming weeks in preparation for the County final.
TABLE T E N N I S N E W S
Congratulations to the Division 4 team who remain unbeaten. They
had recent wins over St. Ronan's in Clondalkin and Colaiste
Phadraig in Lucan. The Division 2 team had a very good win over
Gonzaga College last week. A special mention for Mark O'Neill
(Captain of Division 4 team) who remains unbeaten in all of his
matches so far. Well done Mark.
BOYS B A S K E T B A L L
Both 1st and 2nd Year teams have been representing the school in
the Leinster League. The 1st Year team had a great win against St.
Finian's College, Swords, recently and are improving with every
game. Special congratulations to Craig Drumm who has been
selected for the Dublin team. The 2nd Year team have won all their
games so far.
AND FINALLY . . .
Our last week of term was a very eventful week. The second set of
house exams finished on Tuesday, 12th February. All students were
treated to pancakes on the Tuesday which was a welcome break in
the heavy schedule of exams. Mass was celebrated and ashes distributed on Ash Wednesday and the three music classes went to see
the musical 'Annie' in the Tivoli Theatre afterwards. Fr. Weakliam
officiated at the draw for the Valentines Hamper on Thursday,
which was won by Darren McCarthy (1G). € 3 0 0 was raised for
Trocaire by this event. Finally, Friday was a non-uniform day
where € 5 0 0 was raised for Concern.
A NOTE FROM ONE O FOUR PUBLIC REPRESENTATIVES
Re: P r i m a r y Schools Accommodation
We have received a communication from Alan Shatter T.D.
containing the text of a question posed by him during a recent
adjournment debate in the Dail, on the subject of the accommodation needs at St. Colmcille's Junior and Senior Schools. Mr. Shatter
reiterated the current situation and emphasised the urgent need for
replacement of prefabricated classrooms, the upgrading of the
playground and provision of a bigger school car park. He also
made the case for provision of a General Purpose Room, Library
and additional extra rooms. He further requested a meeting of
officials of the Department, with members of the School Boards.
The Minister's reply was that when the examination of the
feasibility report is complete, the Department's Building Unit will
contact authorities in both schools.

Knocklyon
United F.C.
The season is now up and running. There are plenty
of matches to report on and we hope everyone is
glad to be back playing football. However, the highlight so far this year has been the success of Manager
John McNamee and his U-17 team. They recently
beat Bohemians, one of the top teams in Dublin, 2-1
in the All-Ireland Cup. This allowed them to proceed
to the next round of the cup, where they met the
Donegal team, Finn Harps, at our home ground in
Ballycullen on the 23rd February. We will report on
the result in our next bulletin.

Managers
from Knocklyon
United at the Coaching
Course.
Knocklyon United recently held its preliminary coaching course for our managers at St. Colmcille's
Community School, and we were delighted that over
3 0 of our managers, from the leagues of SDBFL,
DDSL and the Ladies league, turned out for a full
weekend of 2 0 hours. We would like to thank all concerned for giving up their free time. A number of our
managers have attained the FAI level 1 and level 2
coaching certificates which are among the highest
standards in Europe. It is hoped that in time all our
managers will gain some coaching skills. This will
benefit the club, managers and the players.
RACE NIGHT
A race night is due to take place in Morton's pub on
the 21st March and we again look for your support.
All monies raised from this event will go towards the
construction of our new pavilion at Delaford Park.
This is where all our younger teams play, from the
nursery (aged from 6 upwards) up to our U-10 boys
Once again the club plans to travel at Easter, to allow
our players to play in tournaments against teams
from all over Europe. We are travelling to two venues
this year, Belgium and Holland. We have four teams
travelling to each destination. The total number travelling from the Knocklyon area will be 172 people,
which again is a huge committment from managers,
parents and players. All the teams are eagerly looking forward to the trip, and hopefully it will prove as
successful as our last trip.

It has been a while since our last bulletin in the
Newsletter, but that is not to say that we have not
been busy!
Following our recent survey, we are delighted
that two Irish Classes are now up and running for
parents, and our thanks go to Mr. Tierney who is
taking the classes.
The Colour Day was held on 1 st February and
was a great success; the money raised will go
towards purchasing new equipment needed for the
Junior and Senior school. A big thank you to all
those who supported this event and we hope the
pupils enjoyed the day!
The Holy Communion Outfit Sale, held on 2nd
February was well attended, but unfortunately no
takers for any of the dresses (and we even had one
that was brand new!), but the blazers sold like hot
cakes and we think both sellers and buyers were
delighted. Once again, thanks to all those who supported us:

Q)
The Connect Committee are currently putting
together some projects which will be taking place
in the Parish over the coming weeks. Among
these will be our annual visit to Sixth Class pupils
in St. Colmcille's Senior School. We also plan to
take part in an 'Awareness Week' in St.
Colmcille's Community School. We very much
look forward to working alongside the schools, the
Rutland Centre, and the Coffey School of Drama,
in bringing these projects to life.
Also, below we include the third in our
information series on particular drugs which we
have been bringing to your attention in recent
months.
This month we focus on the details provided by
the Dept. of Health on amphetamines - commonly known as Speed.
AMPHETAMINES
What is it?
Otherwise known as speed or the poor man's
cocaine, this generally comes in powder form and
is snorted up the nose. It can also come in pill
form or be injected.
The h i g h s
Speed is a powerful stimulant which speeds up
the entire nervous system. Energy and movement
increase rapidly. Users may talk very quickly and
find it difficult to keep up with their thoughts.
The lows
Users often experience feelings of tiredness and
depression
afterwards,
and in the long run, can
feel physically and emotionally exhausted. The
drug is psychologically
addictive
and
regular
users can find it difficult to r
give up.

from our local unit, at a recent Investiture
LOOKING FOR LEADERS!
Recently we celebrated a lovely ceremony with the investiture of Beavers. Fr. Tony officiated, and we wish to thank
him sincerely for making the occasion so special for the
children.
The 'Beaver' category is the entry point into the world of
scouting. Children (boys and girls) join at the age of six and
can progress into 'Cubs', 'Scouts', 'Venturers', with some
going on to become leaders themselves. The need for an
ongoing supply of leaders cannot be overemphasised, in
order to manage existing numbers and take in new children
in the various categories. Last year we were sadly forced to
refuse entry to over 50 children because of a shortage of
leaders, this year we have been obliged to discourage children from even applying, because of the length of the exist-
ceremony

in the Church.

ing waiting list. Currently we have over 300 children in the
unit.
Scouting is a fantastic opportunity for children and leaders to appreciate the outdoors and all the natural environment has to offer. It is a welcome balancing element to the
indoor pursuits of computer games and 'Play Stations'.
Unfortunately without leaders, huge numbers of children
will be denied this opportunity. We urgently need more help.
We understand the many commitments on family life today,
but would encourage anyone who feels they have some time
to spare to contact our Unit Leader, Michael Tierney, at
493 3651. Previous scouting experience is not necessary as
training will be provided.
We look forward to hearing from you.
