< Previous© December 2020 The Meath Coaster 50 grateful for all their hard work and sup- port. We ask all our members to please support our sponsors Lotto Our club lotto funds day to day running costs and must be the one of most won lotto in the country. We need your support in these times with all other fund raising sources drying up. You can play online at www.cilles.com or subscribe for an an- nual ticket for €100 – if you are thinking of Christmas Gifts it would certainly be a winner The jackpot is now €2,500 and historically a second winner follows very shortly after a big winner so make sure you are in with a chance Please Support Local Business As we come into the Christmas season we are asking all our members to purchase locally and to support all our sponsors as you do your Christmas Shopping. This year above all others it is critical that we spend and stay local, supporting in par- ticular all our sponsors Shane Black Proerty Advisers Cul Cilles Academy With the weather deteriorating and a need to rest our pitches for the 2021 campaign we brought the curtain down on the Shane Black Property Advisers Cul Cilles Acad- emy this month. Throughout the dark dark days of lockdown and level 5 the Cul Cilles Academy has shone like a beacon welcoming all our young players to our grounds and community . Huge crowds and smiling faces, it was an uplifting joy to see. Thank you to our sponsor, Shane Black, to all the parents and guardians and a special thank you to our Cul Cilles whose faces and smiles brightened our days. Something truly special Enjoy the break everyone.

The lads were our top fundraisers in 2019 and we were delighted to have James visit the group and take part in an activity with them. A very special memory for the players (and James of course). The lads clearly thought him a few tricks as he hit two points against Wicklow the following day U13 Girls Beach Clean Well-done to the U13 girls who did us so proud rolling up their sleeves and taking part in a beach clean at Bettystown doing us so proud collecting several bags of rub- bish §© December 2020 The Meath Coaster 52 RELIGIOUS SERVICES STAMULLEN - JULIANSTOWN www.dioceseofmeath.ie/parishes Fr Declan Kelly PP Tel: 01 8412647 Preston Hill Stamullen Tel 01-8412647 e-mail secsj@eircom.net ST PATRICK’S CHURCH STAMULLEN Vigil Mass Saturday 6pm Sunday 10:00am 10am Mass on Tuesday and Thursday First Friday, please contact Parish for information.
