Dear Parishioners,
Refugees:
Everyone has been moved by the reports of the refugee crisis in Europe the
images and reports of fellow human beings fleeing their homes in terror are
sobering. In Holy Trinity we have in some small way tried to show our solidarity
with these people. On September 13th over three car loads of clothing and
medical equipment was donated by parishioners which made their way to Calais
and, when this was over-subscribed, to TRUST THANK YOU to all who
supported this.
Remembrance:
I am conscious that November heralds a more reflective time in the Churchs
year. As part of our liturgies I draw your attention to the All Saints service on
the 1st November in which we have an opportunity to remember those
parishioners and loved ones who have passed away. As we remember them may
we give thanks for their faith, love and example.
Special Needs:
As with last year I am asking for your support of our Special Needs Fund. This
fund will be used to give a helping hand to those in financial difficulties within our
parish and community. If you are fortunate enough to be in a position to help
supplement this fund please send your donation to me marked Special
Needs (or if you wish for the parish to receive a tax refund on the donation,
please make your donation through the Hon. Treasurer, Mr Chris Hurley).
Finally, (and I know it is very early...) Happy Christmas!
With every good wish,
Rents
Our list of Centre users continues to grow - we now welcome Irish dancing

Plants at the Carry Centre
Thanks to those who have cleared the bank outside the Carry Centre and are in

Missions and Charities: In October we made our annual donationsas we

these agencies.

Sheep Thrills
Made in Ireland
We have started the season with much enthusiasm. A unanimous decision was
made supporting the refugees by sending a large bag of knitted goods. The 2 nd
decision was supporting the Blackrock Hospice coffee morning by sending a
cheque from the collections made that morning. The message from our group is
that we welcome any one in the community who would like to come along on a
Thursday to share talents and make for the homeless. We have developed into a
strong focused group and with so many homeless we need more people to knit
and stitch. No joining just turn up at the Carry Centre Killiney, cost 3 for fresh
coffee and a home made biscuit. Contact Joan @ 087 2460078
Ladies Guild: The next meeting on Tuesday 10th November will be held in
the Carry Centre at 2.30pm. Ms Stella Mew will be the speaker. All welcome.

Food
A suggestion for the foodies of Holy Trinity, to leave their leafy boulevards and
chic bistros of Dalkey for the more mundane area of Newtownpark Avenue in
Blackrock, beside the former Playwright Pub in a small Shopping area you will
find the Blue Orchid, our favourite restaurant a Thai restaurant with genuine
Thai chefs and staff, the food is excellent and reasonable, an added plus, beside it
is an O'Briens off licence where you can avail of their offers and the restaurant
will only charge 5 corkage. The restaurant has it's own wine list based on the
off licence. Should you like to experiment, the proprietors name is Nadir, if you
wish feel free to mention our name.
Two Recipe Suggestions by Hilary...
1, When making home made burgers try putting a cup of Rice Crispy's into the
mixture for added crunch.
2, If making a Tea - Brack put a tablespoon of sweet mincemeat and a handful of
crushed mixed nuts into the mix.
