I recently received some Christmas cards in the post. It’s such a novelty, because receiving actual post which isn’t a shopping item or bills is unusual. I enjoyed checking the postmark and looking at the handwriting to figure out who had sent it. The anticipation of opening a card from someone I’ve not seen in months forms part of the excitement!

Being prepared to give an answer for the hope that lies within you can be daunting. It might seem like no one is really interested in their faith anymore.

There is still an important space and role for you and your family in the education of your child which no one else can undertake. So what are some of the things that modern families can do to support their children through education?

This blog is not an attempt to deal with any one issue, but to look at the bigger picture and perhaps try to answer the questions: Why is there suffering in the world at all? And what is God doing about it?

One of the benefits of dark evenings is that the night skies become more visible. Taking the opportunity on a clear night to step away from the street lights, and with a break in the clouds, the most dazzling array of twinkling lights in the black sky appear.

Some of the more unusual questions to be asked at an interview include what animal would you be and why? Have a think for a moment.

“Come to me all you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. For my burden is easy and my yoke is light. You will find rest for your souls”

Before eircodes were created for each address in Ireland, our postmen and women had to be relied on to find each person’s house. 

It’s easy to think it's spring when the days begin to get sunny and a warm breeze wafts over your skin.

Not as easy when hailstones are bopping off your hat and coat. But that has been the extremes of weather this past week in Donegal.

There’s nothing quite like a good night’s sleep. You waken well-rested and ready to face the day’s challenge. Yet sometimes the effort of trying to get a good night’s sleep can tire us out; plumping pillows… right room temperature… no screens before bed…warm milk…soothing app…good book (but not too good).

To err is human, to forgive divine is a phrase written by Alexander Pope in the 17th century. It strikes a chord within us as we recognise our tendency to make mistakes, while at the same time finding it difficult to forgive others.

Have you noticed how certain ads appear stating,“You might be interested in….” and they can sometimes have the most tenuous link to a previous search. Well, recently it happened quite by chance that I was offered a chance to listen to “ABC conversations” with Dr. Richard Harris, Australian of the Year 2019.

Have you ever sat through a movie where the person next to you asks questions about the plot and characters? I have to confess there’s been times when I’ve been that person.

Whether you are a person who is beginning on your faith journey or someone who is familiar with the topic, we think you'll find the discussion useful.

When we were deep in lockdown, I relished the opportunity to go to the supermarket, the post-office and the butchers.

There’s a difference between a level teaspoon and a heaped teaspoon of baking powder when it comes to making scones.
