BEAUTY AND HOPE

I have just received this photo from my nephew, Craig.  It was taken by Kimberly Rose. I think the photo is proof that beauty, like hope, grows in the most unlikely places. 

Beauty and hope can flourish in unlikely places

There is always hope!

👉Thanks to Kimberly and Craig for this beautiful picture.

OUR CHURCH- DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!

Once upon a time, a school stood here.  This was St Patrick's Convent School, erected in 1921 as a Memorial to the men and boys of the parish who lost their lives in WWI.  Now it is gone.

This is our church, erected by the free labour, hard work and pennies of our ancestors. Through generations this church has been maintained by the free labour, hard work and pennies of their children and of their children's children.  We must not lose this beautiful, historic church.

This plaque was at the back of our church.  It encourages us to look to the future with hope.  Let's do what we can to save our church, trust in God, and never lose hope.

ST PATRICK, PRAY FOR US.

"BE NOT AFRAID"

A group of Catholic Artists have come together, at a distance, to make this rendition of this lovely song which is well known by most of us.  Take a few minutes to relax and listen to it.  Perhaps, as the world still struggles with Covid 19, it will uplift you and give you renewed hope.
