Dear Parishioners,

Begin the New Year with a smileThe children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school forlunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note,and posted on the apple tray, “Take only one. God is watching.” Moving furtheralong the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolatechip cookies. One child whispered to another, “Take all you want. God iswatching the apples.”

CongratulationsTo Jaqui Dingemans on becoming an Irish Citizen … Fáilte! To Paddy & Shirley Bewley on the birth of grandchildren…Twins!

New YearAs we begin a New Year, it usually requires us to pause and reflect on the yearthat has passed. 2015 will be memorable for different people in different ways.

For Holy Trinity Parish, Killiney it will remembered as the ‘Carry Centre’ year.2016 will be a significant year in the life of our own nation — I wonder what it willbring for Holy Trinity?

A very Happy New Year to all!

With every good wish,

RECTOR’S SURGERY - Every Tuesday 7-8 pm, Holy Trinity Rectory

A day of the life of … Maira Bailey

A Day in the Life – Maria Bailey General ElectionCandidate Usually up by 6.30am ready to face a busyday. I try to get out for an early run. I’ve suffered

from chronic migraines since I was a teenager andhave found that eating well and getting regularexercise really helps me manage my condition. OnceI’ve dropped my two girls to school, I head out tomeet up with my Dad, Cllr. John Bailey. We worktogether daily since we were both first elected in2004, meeting constituents, dropping leaflets,canvassing and attending meetings. With over 65,000

households in the Dún Laoghaire Constituency, thatleaves us with a large number of homes to visit. Myday usually ends with prepping for the next day,reading documents, packing school lunches, doing

household chores and then collapsing on the couch. I really enjoy my work andremain passionate about serving my community. Once my husband & girls arehappy, I’m happy.

Pack your Bags … to California

Who doesn’t look forward to their summer holidays? Usually we go somewhere in Europebut some years ago to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, we went to California. We

flew to San Francisco staying there for a few days, viewing The Golden Gate Bridge, ridingthe cable cars and visiting Alcatraz. From there, we travelled the full length of Californiafinishing in San Diego. Along the way, we visited Yosemite National Park, Monterey, 7 miledrive and Los Angles. I even managed to play a round of golf at the magnificent PebbleBeach course. We also visited Las Vegas – OTT but great fun. While there, we travelled tothe majestic Grand Canyon by helicopter. What a sight, the only word for it ‘awesome’.We crammed a lot into our time there but it was a great experience and we wouldthoroughly recommend it as a holiday destination. Anne Pierpoint

Food: Lussekatter / Santa Lucia Buns

St Lucia is the patron saint of the Blind. She was venerated by Catholics, Anglicans &

Lutherans in Scandinavian countries where the long winter days are so dark. Lucia is said tohave risen before dawn to bake the buns and deliver them to the poor of the country-side.This is why the buns are shaped like a pair of eyes, conjuring an image of eyes in thedarkness. It was a tradition in Sweden that the eldest daughter of the house and her motherbaked the buns and brought them to the bachelors of their village. The girl dressed in whiteand crowned as being 'Lucia-Bride', wore a seven-piece Lucia Crown of candles to find theirway in the dark. Lucia meaning light. We light our Lucia Crown at the break of day on Dec.13th in honour of our Swedish friends and celebrate darkness and light. Made a good cup of

coffee and enjoy these buns served warm, smothered with butter. These buns can be madeahead, frozen and reheated. This saves my daughter having to stay up all night preparingthem!Ingredients (makes 32)200g unsalted butter. 250mls milk. 50 g fresh yeast. 1 lightly beaten egg. 85g raisins. 1tsp salt.165g caster sugar. ¼tsp finely chopped saffron threads or pinch of turmeric. 900g plain flour. MethodMelt the butter over a medium heat, add the milk, heat until lukewarm. Stir the salt, sugarand yeast into the warm mixture, leave to work for 10 mins. Gradually add the remainingingredients stirring until a smooth dough forms. Do not worry if the dough is a little sticky.Cover the bowl with a dry tea towel, leave to prove [rise] for 45 to 65 mins until doubled insize. Punch back the dough and knead 30 seconds, or until smooth. Divide into four pieces,break each quarter into eight equal pieces. Shape each piece in to a 20 cm length, then forminto an s-shape, tuck in the ends to form an 8-shape and pinch the ends to join. Place on atray lined with parchment, cover with a tea towel and prove for a further 40 mins. Preheatthe oven to 200 c/400 f/gas mark 6. Place a raisin in each of the rounds, made when formingthe 8-shape. Beat an egg with 1 tablespoons milk, brush the buns and bake for 20 mins. The

buns should be a pale golden-brown when done.

From cakes towoolly jumpers and sausage rolls to Christmas decorations – there were lots oftreats and bargains to be had on what turned out to be a beautiful Decembermorning. The climax of the event was the long awaited arrival of a very special

guest, Santa Claus, who arrived in a chauffeur (the Rector!) driven SMART car(Yes! It was a tight squeeze….). Many thanks to all those who donated items,spent the week cooking and baking, sorted out stalls and in any way supportedthe sale.

CONSIDERABLE TALENT OR ABILITY TO GROW PLANTS

This is not a skill I have been blest with but I really do like splashes of colour in agarden particularly if the all pervasive colour is green from either, trees, a hedgeor grass (or all three)! It is essential to break up the look of a garden, even alittle bit, and of course it may be arranged on a season by season basis withdifferent flowers having their day! or week!! There are so many local gardencentres that travelling to one for a “look” or indeed a “sniff” is a most pleasantand enjoyable experience and a short stay will not necessarily be an expensiveone. Lots of “special offers” are available and filling a few pots upon your returnis not too time consuming! Planting a number of small plants in large pots eachseason allows for the rotation of look and colour in any garden. Spring bringsyellows with Daffodils as well as Bluebells and Snowdrops, Tulips and Cyclamen.Spring and summer merge with Iris, Poppy, Geraniums, Lupins, short and tallDaisies, Chrysanthemums, Pansies and Begonias. A border of Lavender bringsbees, their continuous hum, as well as a delicious aroma. With floweringheathers at the end of summer as the season moves into autumn. Throughoutthe whole time roses will flower and die and flower again and bring really richcolour to any garden, large or small.
