On Mothers' Day we said goodbye to Fr. Burns: on Fathers'
Day it was Fr. Dennis Fedak's turn to say goodbye. Fr. Fedak has been
re-assigned to St. Cecilia Parish in Philadelphia. We thank Fr. Fedak for
all he has done for us at St. Cyril Parish and wish him much success in his new
assignment.

The shortage in vocations has finally affected us here at
St. Cyril's. Fr. Kearns is now here as our only assigned priest. It
was just two years ago that things were very different.
This picture was taken with the graduating Class of 2000.
Mothers' Day 2003 was another busy day here. The
Legion of Mary held their annual Mothers' Day tribute to Mary; The Home &
School Association held their annual flower and cake sale, and we also
were able to say our farewell to Father Gerry Burns. After four years
serving us at Saint Cyril's and the Archdiocese, he will return to his native
Ireland this week. He will be missed. Hopefully he will send his new
address to our guestbook when he receives his new assignment in County Mayo.

On May 5, 2003 a Mass was said for Fr. Burke at the
first anniversary of his death. A special brick at the beginning of The
Walk of Memories was blessed and the walk was dedicated in memory of
Father. While he was here Father left his mark on our parish. In the
year since his death there are many "signs" to show he will not be
forgotten.

Realtai Corafinne
On Friday, March 15, 2003 Realtai Corafinne returned to our
parish to give another show, just in time for Saint Patrick's Day, as part of
their American Tour. Coming from the village of Corofin a few miles north
of Galway, this group comprises a host of champions- musicians, singers, and
dancers- all displaying a variety of talents and keeping alive the traditions of
their Gaelic culture.
