2010 - Fr Frank ORegan chalice147 viewsThis article was published in the July 2010 edition of the Diocese of Sale newspaper 'Catholic Life'. It was the Sale Diocese in eastern Victoria where Father Frank ministered for so many years, from 1949 to 1985. The chalice, donated by Frank's family, is still in use now and provides a fitting reminder to his years of service to the Catholic community of so many parishes in that region.

The Burren142 viewsThe Burren (Great Rock) is a plateau occupying a vast area of North Clare. It rises in the south from the foothills near Killanoboy and Kilfenora, is bounded in the east by the Gortaclare mountains and is contained in the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Its highest peak, Slieve Elva, overlooks Galway Bay and the Aran Islands. It is an area of scenic attractions - wild and lonely but picturesque - where the clear light, reflected from the stone-grey hills, seems to radiate an air of timelessness, made more realistic by the many pre-historic remains that dot the fields and the valleys beneath. The Burren is of particular interest to archeologists, botanists, speleologists, zoologists, ornithologists, etc.
