Happy new secular year to all readers of this blog. Today was the feast of the Epiphany - and a joyous celebration at Sacred Heart. The kings have moved to the crib to bring their gifts, and the children came back from their special liturgy dressed as kings.
We sang We Three Kings, The First Nowell and As With Gladness Men of Old, and now we put the carols away until next Christmas.
Father Ted was today's preacher, speaking about what gifts we can offer to God - and often the gift of ourselves, and our appreciation, is the best we have to offer.
This is the year of the parish jubilee - 50 years since Sacred Heart parish was founded in August 1959. Task groups, for which their have been several dozen volunteers, will be meeting in the first weeks of January to come up with ideas how we can mark this great anniversary.
Check out the new diary of events on our website. This is replicated on the blog.
Major events coming up include the unity service and barn dance.
A new swap-a-book service began this week. Bring a book you have read recently, and swap it for another. No money will change hands. Similarly you may have a jigsaw you have enjoyed completing.
