Ayrwaves depends on a small team of people who, like their counterparts in so many voluntary bodies in Ayrfield, give of their time and energy to the best of their abilities, and who are also fortunate to enjoy the spirited support of a parish with a tradition of outreach and inclusivity. If you would like to be part of this spirit and join in the good work that is being done in the parish we will be delighted to hear from you. We are also looking for volunteers to join our Production Team. Contact the Parish Office on 8160984 for more information or email : ayrwaves@gmail.com

Fr. Tom Colreavy R.I.P.

        May He support us all the day long,
        till the shades lengthen and the evening comes,
        and the busy world is hushed,
        and the fever of life is over, and our work is done.
        Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging,
        and a holy rest and peace at the last.

            Cardinal John Henry Newman

With Fr. Emilio's permission, the following are links to the words and music of both of the songs he wrote for Fr. Tom.
A Very Good Man
Can You Hear Me

Fr. Tom Colreavy will be missed by people of all ages and nationalities, not only in Ayrfield, Leitrim and all the Parishes he was part of but all over the world. He not only touched the hearts of all he met but embrassed them.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
