#colmcille

saint colmcille print! based on maghnus ó domhnaill’s account of colmcille’s life, including the time he copied a manuscript by the light of his right hand. when the owner of the manuscript sent a boy to check on him, colmcille’s pet crane pecked the boy’s eye out. I made this in february while listening to a lot of swedish folk music and it still gives me that dreamy snowy feeling

Always important to have a big full forward... #abbeylara vs #colmcille ( #Aughnacliffe ) I think... #longford #gaa #longfordgaa #GAAmeme

Last year Colmcille Ladies football club ran a bake sale to fundraise for the club, it was a huge success and it was agreed to make it an annual event.  This year however we received an outstanding amount of support from our community and we wanted to do something to show how much we appreciated their support. We decided therefore that we would run our Christmas sale in association with a charity this year.  It was decided to team up with Palliative care as it is close to many peoples hearts and provides much needed support to those who need it most. The Colmcille Christmas Market will take place on Sunday, 8th of December at 11am (after mass) in Colmcille community centre.  Along with our bake sale, this year we have rented out a number of tables to local crafters so as to make the event more community orientated. We will have the following present on the day: 1. Woodturning and wood crafts, which include lamps, bowls, jewellery boxes, birdhouses and lots more also a selection of handmade cards. 2.
