It is hard to believe that, within a year, our dream of a newlyrefurbished Carry Centre has been brought to fruitionthis is due to the vision,generosity and prayers of you all so WELL DONE and THANK YOU! Pleasesee page 6 and the enclosed letter for more details on the project. 2015 marksa new chapter in the life of our parish - a happy New Year to you all!With every good wish,

Eco Congregation IrelandInformation leaflets are available in the Church and Hall.

We enjoyed a midwinter feast at Christmas but our garden wildlife cannot say

the same. They had no feast and food is becoming more scarce as winter moveson. But we can help by ensuring our garden larder always has something in it forthem. Perhaps your garden is already a wildlife haven? If not, consider plantingsome of the following. Ilex aquifolium (holly) provides valuable food and shelterfor robins, thrushes, finches, dunnocks and goldcrests. Plant one self-fertile shrube.g. J.C. van Tol or a male and a female within 20m. Check gender first!Variegated holly Golden King is female while Golden Queen is male. Viburnumopulus (guelder rose) has translucent red berries beloved of thrushes and

bullfinches. Try Compactum for a small garden. Nothing loves the seedheads ofDipsacus fullonum (teasel) in winter more than goldfinches, while the flowers insummer are an excellent source of nectar and pollen for bumblebees andbutterflies. Native hawthorn, Crataegus monogyna, supplies valuable haws forblackbirds, thrushes, finches and robins. Finally, evergreen Hedera helix (ivy) iscrucial to wildlife survival from September to April, when other resources arescarce. It provides overnight cover for birds and hibernating butterflies e.g. smalltortoiseshell and peacock. Flowers in late autumn provide nectar and pollen for

insects, including honeybees, before hibernation. Berries in winter and earlyspring provide food for thrushes, blackbirds, robins, blackcaps and redwings. Inspring, ivy provides cover for nesting birds. Ivy is a reliable friend to wildlife inwinter. Dont forget to provide fresh water in a bird bath or shallow dish asbirds need water every day. By helping Gods garden creatures, we play our partin the natural cycle of life.

History Corner - Fr John Sullivan SJ

On the night of Feb. 19th1933, Fr Sullivan breathed his last in St Vincents Nursing Home.

37 years earlier he had converted from the Church of Ireland to Catholicism, and four yearslater he entered the Society of Jesus. Much of his priestly life was spent in Clongoweswhere he had a reputation for sanctity among the schoolboys and the many local people hecame in contact with. In 1960 he was declared a Servant of God. His cause of beatificationis currently open. The plaque in the North transept of Holy Trinity relates to an olderbrother Robert (pictured on left, above) who drowned in a boating accident together withConstance Exham whose father had a house in Killiney. Roberts body was never found.Constance is remembered in Holy Trinity with the Lectern which was given in her memory.

Many thanks to John Byrne who brought this to the Editor's attention.

A day in the life - Shane McConnell

0630 on a Monday in Dun Laoghaire Harbour and the Officers & Crew aboard theIrish Lights Ship Granuaile are making preparations for sea. Theres plenty to do, andfor the duty engineer its time to check the engine's Lube oil, pre-heating and

fuel. Before long, the engine room is suddenly alive with a piercing blast ofcompressed air and the familiar rattle of two MAN 16L24 engines blasting intolife. The Granuaile is a Diesel Electric ship. After warming through, the engines areconnected to the switch board leaving over 2000 kW at the Captains disposal.Each of the 3 thrusters can be vectored to give force through 360 degrees. Thisallows the vessel to stay pinned to the quay, allowing the crew to let go the lines insafety. With the lines gone the Captain eases the ship out of the Harbour. A courseis set for the Kish Lighthouse.

Constructed from concrete in Dun Laoghaire the Kish is now in its 50th year. Itsplacement marks the northern extremity of a line of sand banks that stretch all theway south to Carnsore point. Like the ship the Kish has its own engine room,housing 3 Lister Peters with one running the entire time. Keeping lighthouses likethe Kish topped up with fuel is a regular job for the Granuaile.The final approach is made against the tide. The Captain then engages DynamicPositioning [DP] and begins to close the gap. The DP uses a computerised model ofthe ship that combines inputs from wind, GPS and propulsion with commands fromthe operator to keep the ship exactly on station, making direct access to thelighthouse possible. Over 17,000 litres is transferred, more than enough for anotheryear. Like most ships the Granuaile carries enough fuel and supplies for a 1 monthpassage.Its not long before the operation is complete and the Kish once more starts

becoming a feature on the horizon. Below in the Engine room the daily routinescontinue. As well as power production, the Engine Room supplies all services for theship from AC to Sewage handling. Outside of this we manage maintenance of all thevessel's equipment, mechanical and electronic along with all the performance

monitoring and problem solving this entails. The diversity helps ensure that no twodays are the same aboard, which happens to be one of the best things about the job!

Gastronomic diversity has directed increasing levels of attention on the global

obesity problem in recent years. This burgeoning global obesity epidemic globesity'is taking over many parts of the world. It is accompanied by anincreased risk of heart attacks, diabetes, and a range of other diseases, includingcancer.Britain's House of Commons Health Select Committee has recently highlightedthe profound impact of such an epidemic over the next century on currenttrends, obesity rather than tobacco will be the greatest cause of prematuredeath, with half of all UK children obese by 2020. They are tackling this by

taxing fattening foods and restricting junk-food advertising targeting children.Obesity may have peaked in the UK and US, with social trends suggesting thatthe rich world may start to slim down. The UK government has banned schoolcanteens and vending machines from selling sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks.New dietary guidelines recommend eating many more fruits and vegetables,more whole grain and low-fat milk, and increasing exercise to as much as 90minutes a day.Food companies are producing healthier options and promoting exercise, while

Niall's email arrived: would I write something for the Obelisk? "... something on 'Music', 150

words and a picture". How do you encompass Music in that small space? "Where do I start?" Iask. "Start on the right note!" he says. Hmmm. Music is with us everywhere; it has certainlysuffused my life for as long as I can remember. Where do I start? At the beginning, my beginning,singing myself to sleep with 'Away in a Manger' and 'O Little Town' (learned with Mrs Dalton atHoly Trinity Sunday School?) Music was part of school life: performing 'Soldier, Soldier, Will YouMarry Me' (with actions!) in Miss Donovan's class at Avoca school, assembling for the AravonCarol Service at Christ Church, Bray - in the vestry which was under the organ; looking up youcould see the jungle of tubes which fed the pipes. Organs fascinated me, and I had my few and

only organ lessons at St Columba's with Joseph Groocock, and violin lessons with a decent littleman who was, I believe, a member of the pit orchestra in the Theatre Royal. I was in HolyTrinity choir for a short while before I went to England; Norah Kershaw reminded me that Ioccasionally played the organ and bullied the choir even then. I used to think (a very long timeago!) that Classical music was the only 'proper' music, but I have changed my mind: look whatriches America has given us: Jazz, Blues, the 'Great American Songbook', Broadway musicals andRock and Roll were only the beginnings of what has taken over the world, and now bothClassical and Popular music are everywhere - it's great!. Shakespeare wrote "The man that hath

no music in himself ... let no such man be trusted" - I'm not sure I would go quite that far!

If I had to name one thing that draws me to this place, it would be the utter tranquility and

peace. The serenity is palpableyou can nearly reach out and touch it! The first time Ifound it I had travelled 278kms for about four hours from Glenageary, through Navan,Enniskillen, Donegal and then on to Dunkineely, the entrance to St Johns Point. I heaved asigh of relief and pulled up at our stopping point, a cottage about two fields away from thesea, with a magnificent view. I got out of the car and then it hit me! The silence! No cars.No buses. No people talking. No radio. No TV. No heavy machinery. Just - the silence. Butit was not until the next day that I was able to relax into the silence, to slow down to theway of life that the tranquility demanded. This is the antidote to the stress of modern living.

This is the place where you discover the truth of the peace of God, which passes allunderstanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7. This iswhat draws me back to St Johns Point.

To the Parishioners of Holy Trinity ~ THANK YOUAt the start of November, myself and three other student ordinands in Church of IrelandTheological Institute decided to raise funds for the Laura Lynn Childrens Hospice in

Leopardstown. As the month of November has been observed by men around thecountry as no shave month, my fellow ordinands and myself decided to join the thousandsof our species in shunning our razors. Thanks to the generosity of my friends in HolyTrinity, I will be in a position to forward on a cheque to the Laura Lynn Childrens Hospice

for 1250. Please accept my sincere gratitude for all your support for this very worthwhilecause. I really appreciate your kindness. Another Thank You: On an aside, I would alsolike to thank you for your ongoing support as I continue my studies towards ordainedministry, I very much appreciate your prayers and encouragement. As I continue to liveaway from home during the week it is most comforting to realise that there are many ofyou who keep in touch with Anne. I know she is very grateful for the support that shereceives from you all. May I wish you a joyous New Year. With Every Blessing, Nigel.
