Ramata Kamara from Sierra Leone, Africa smiles while harvesting cassava leaves

Ramata is a gift beneficiary of The Gift of Seeds and Tools, which has supported her family with food, an income and she is now well on the road to self-sufficiency.

This reflection is offered by the priests of the Family of Parishes as a possible basis for discussion, reflection and prayer as we plan together with the people of the parishes for the future life of this faith community in the six parishes of Ardfield/Rathbarry, Barryroe, Clonakilty, Kilmeen and Castleventry, Rosscarbery and Timoleague.
