It is good to see that Knocanure has taken up the torch and has filled the breach left vacant that was so ably manned by Lovely Writer over many years. I am sure Beal Bocht, Price of the Pint and many more on distant shores will appreciate the continual printing of the Parish newsletter and will reciprocate with their own worthwhile contributions.

“There Is Always a Time for Heroism”
By GR Jordan
From The Emerging Revival, 1946
Once Wendell Phillips and a young friend were sitting by the fire. It was a memorable evening. Recollections had flushed the cheeks of the veteran campaigner. Memories of former heroic days had loosened his tongue. He had completely lost himself in the thrilling recital of the past. The young visitor sat enthralled. At last, when he recognized that the evening was far gone, he rose with a start. “Mr. Phillips,” he exclaimed, as he grasped the older man’s hand, “if I had lived in your time, I think I would have been heroic too!” The veteran, who had accompanied his young visitor to the door, was noticeably aroused. As he pointed down the street, he drew the attention of his companion to flaunting indications of audacious vice. His voice was tremulous with indignation as he exclaimed: “Young man, you are living in my time, and in God’s time! Be sure of this: No man could have been heroic then who is not heroic now.”

the playing of organised board games is an interesting way to pass away the oncoming long winter nights. I have never really been into board games myself however I had an insight into how popular they can be while visiting a bar near Wrigleyville Chicago some years ago, about 10 tables were taken up by board game enthusiasts.
Some years ago I put a " know your old Listowel" quiz questions up on boards, at the time it proved very popular, maybe it could be repeated at some stage in the coming months

CHURCH NOTICES


PARISH MISSION: A sincere ‘congratulations’ to all who attended or were part of our Parish Mission this past week. The feedback has been excellent and it was a most faith filled occasion of grace for our Parish. I was personally very heartened by the people of this Parish to see so many - making an effort to being involved, being present and making so many sacrifices to being there from 7.00 a.m. to late each evening. It was really edifying and encouraging as it reached out to all age groups. Well done to everybody! Can I say a special thanks to the members of the Parish Pastoral Council and the various groups who took responsibility for the different sessions. It did take a lot of work but it has been worth it. We were blessed with a fabulous Mission Team, appropriate weather and I wish to thank all of you who played your part big or small. Can I mention specifically Denise in the Parish Office and Billy in the Sacristy for their professionalism and dedication to the Mission this past week. A great end to the ‘Year of Faith’ celebrations. Fr. Declan

From New Zealand Tablet
DEATH Fr O Connor, NZ Tablet 9 April 1882
THE LATE REV. FATHER O'CONNOR.
(From our Christchurch correspondent.) Very great and widespread regret is felt at the demise of the Rev. Father Daniel O'Connor, who died somewhat unexpectedly at his
late residence at Rangiora at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, 31 March 1882. The rev gentleman, who was parish priest of Rangiora, had not been in a robust health for some time. Yet no serious results of his indisposition were anticipated until he visited Wellington in the early part of the year in order to consult Dr. Cahill, who informed Father O'Connor that his malady was a hopeless consumption. In accordance with the doctor's advice Father O'Connor abandoned his projected visit to Napier and returned home. He became rapidly worse and succumbed to the disease. He was going about on Tuesday last and apparently fairly well. On the night of the same day he retired at eight o'clock but became restless and unable to sleep. Father Tubman, M iss Kellier and the Rev. Mother and the Sisters of St. Joseph were with him to the end. Father O'Connor, who was approaching forty years of age, was born at Listowel. County Kerry. Ireland. he studied at St. John's College in Waterford, and was ordained priest on the l5 of June, I882. Immediately after his ordination he came to Christchurch, under Archbishop Redwood, who appointed him to Greymouth. Thence he came to Port Lyttleton, where he remained several years. For the administration of that parish he received warm praise from Archbishop Redwood. Ten years ago Father O'Connor was appointed parish priest of Rangiora. where he has done most excellent work. He was always most generous in supplementing from his own pocket the funds for the maintenance of the schools, and in every way sought to promote the cause of education. The whole parish is left absolutely free of debt. During his residence in the Rangiora and Kaipoi districts he has endeared himself to all classes of people. His house and all that it contained was open to every one. As an instance of the warm affection of his people for him, some of the ladies of the parish waited upon him a few days before his death in order to present him with a purse of sovereigns wherewith to meet the extra expenses of his illness. This thoughtful action made a deep impression upon the dying priest, and he was most anxious to acknowledge the gift through the newspapers. This he did not live to do.
THE FUNERAL. On Friday last the funeral of the late Father O'Connor took place at Rangiora. On the forenoon of that day the remains, encased in a handsome polished coffin, were conveyed from the presbytery to the church, and a large number of the Rev. Father's parishioners and the townspeople visited the church to take a last look at his features. The sanctuary of the church and the high and side altars were draped in black, and the coffin was placed on a dais in front of the altar railing. At 10. am. a procession, headed by the cross-bearers and acolytes, started from the presbytery to the church. In the procession were the Right Rev. Dr. Grimes. Canon O'Donnell. Fathers Bowers, Chervier, Marnane, Tubman, Malone, Aubrey. Foley. Ginalty, Tracy, Quirk and Melu. On arriving at the church the office for the dead was chanted in the presence of the congregation from all parts of the district. When this part was concluded, a Solemn Requiem Mass was said. Father Cherviers being the chief celebrant, Fr Murnane, deacon father Quirk, sub-deacon Fathers O'Donnell and Malone, Cantors Fr Bowers master of ceremonies and Father Aubrey organist. After the Mass Bishop Grimes delivered an eloquent address from St. John, chapter ii., and the 11th and succeeding verses. He said, referring to the deceased, that it was. not necessary, nor would it be seemly, for him to add much to the obituary notices which had appeared in the public press. He remarked upon the late Father's devotion during his, time of illness aid the extraordinary grace which availed him during his Last moments He referred also in grateful terms to those who had devote I themselves to caring for him during his last illness and also to the kindness of the parishioners only a few days before his death gave a tangible show of their sympathy for him The bishop then nave the last absolution, which concluder the service in the church
The procession was then formed, the children from St. Joseph's School, with draped banners, being in the front. The coffin, was borne from the church by Messrs. M. Lynskey. E. Anderson, T. McGrath and Thomas Power. The interment. at the cemetery in Rangiora took plaice in the presence of a large concourse of people, a great proportion of whom had not found room in the church. The ceremony at the grave was conducted by the Bishop and concluded at one o clock. Numerous wreaths were sent by friends and public organisations. Among others who sent these floral tributes of sympathy (were Mr. and Mrs.Shreland, the Rangiora Athletic Association. Mr and Mrs . M Scott. Miss K. McDonnell Ashburton, Mr. and Mrs B. Flynn, Miss Foley, Mr. and Mrs. T. Ross and family. Misses Lizzie and Annie Lynskey. Miss Burns and Miss Doherty (Christchurch) others oppressing regret at the rev. Fathers death came from all parts of the Colony, including one from Bishop Verdon (Dunedin), Bishop Lenihan (Auckland) .and the Very Rev. Father Devoy (Wellington). The sad news of the death reached Bishop Grimes when on a visit to Mount Cook, and he travelled night and day to be present at the funeral. Among these present were the Mayor of Rangiora (Mr. C. I. Lennings), the Rev. F. P. Fendall, Messrs. H C Bailey, W. Buss, D. R Good, G Cone, J. Sansom. A. Parsons H Flynn, B. Blackett, A. C. Clarkson, T. Roebuck, T. Green, of the Katspoi pah, M.
