New beginnings
Back to school after the Summer holidays. For some children and their parents it will be a very exciting day as they begin school for the first time. For others they will make the transition to secondary school and began a whole new journey there. Traffic will get back to its normal crazy levels again particularly in the morning. For nearly everyone it is good to be back to a routine again. Routine allows us to be comfortable with what we have to do and what we like to do. Stress levels rise when the list of things we have to do becomes unmanageable. As we begin our journey through this month of September we ask God's blessings on all of us. We ask God to help us with our daily routine. We pray that we will get through all those necessary things we have to do and also to help us find the time for those things that we enjoy as well. Throughout our lives there will always be new beginnings.
First Friday.
Next Friday 4th Sept Fr. Kerry and Fr. Charlie will visit the sick and housebound at their usual times on Thursday and Friday. (Should you like a visit from one of the priests please let them know.)
