Trócaire Lenten Corner
This Lent Trócaire reminds us that, while earthquakes
and natural disasters attract global attention, there are millions
of people around the world who will go to bed hungry tonight.
During Lent over 600,000 children will die from hunger and diseases
caused by hunger. The total number of people that were killed
by the recent earthquake in Haiti, is less than half that number.
This hunger crisis is taking place away from the TV cameras and
global attention, in small, rural villages all over the developing
world. Could you describe your Trócaire Box for 2010?

Older People
The government has a new scheme to help older people get items
such as a personal alarm that you could wear around your neck
or around your wrist, a smoke alarm, a door chain or door lock.

on 071-9631253.
Vow of Silence!
A monk joined a monastery and took a vow of silence. After the
first 10 years his superior called him in and asked, “Do
you have anything to say?”
The monk replied, “Food bad.”
After another 10 years the monk again had opportunity to voice
his thoughts.
He said, “Bed hard.”
Another 10 years went by and again he was called in before his
superior. When asked if he had anything to say, he responded,
“I quit.”
“It doesn’t surprise me a bit. You’ve done nothing
but complain ever since you got here.”
Tax Reclaim Forms
If you or a member of your family are PAYE contributors and have
paid in €250 or above to the Parish in the past year (offertory
collection, heating collection, priests dues) , the Parish, as
a charitable body, may recoup that tax to the benefit of the parish.
Please fill in all the shaded areas only on the tax reclaim form
which you have received, and return to the Parish as soon as possible.
If you feel you meet the criteria, but didn’t receive a
form, please contact Fr. Ber and you will be issued with a form.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Do I find Myself Here?
Never go to your church or meetings held there,
If you do go, be late, it’s no one’s affair.
If the weather is bad, either too hot or snowing,
Just stay home and rest, for there’ll be others going.
But should you attend, be sure and remember
To find fault with the work, each official and member.
Be sure to hold back on your offerings and tithes,
The bills will be paid by the rest of the guys.
And never take office if offered the post,
But eagerly criticize work of the host.
If not on a committee you’re placed, be sore!
If you find that you are, don’t attend any more.
When asked your opinion on this thing or that,
Have nothing to say, just turn ‘em down flat.
Then after the meeting, shine out like the sun
By telling the folks how it should have been done.
Don’t do any more than you possibly can,
Leave the work for some other woman or man.
And when you see faithful ones work themselves sick,
Then stand up and holler, “It’s run by a clique!”
