WE THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER ..... IT IS NOW!


On the day that the the last American troops were withdrawn from Iraq, a smaller but equally hard-fought war was concluded at Our Lady of Mercy and St Joseph.    There were two forces responsible for the execution of Father Danny's dream of a reburbished Parish hospitality centre.    One, spearheaded by Gerry, was determined to ensure that the building works were of the highest professional standard, and he has worked incredibly hard over the last few months to achieve this.   The other, led by Clare, was intent on achieving modern,  comfortable furniture in one room, with a hygenic and efficient kitchen in the other.        Both fought hard, and in the end both got their own way, and thanks to them we have a super modern high-quality Parish centre.    




Now Clare's going to cut the cake to celebrate the official reopening of the centre and she's delighted to do so.     But when you carry out a official function with a really sharp knife you have to watch carefully to make sure  you don't have an accident.     So keep your mind on the job, Clare. No!   Stop!    Look what you're doing, Clare!      Watch where that knife's going!   Oooooooww!
