John Sweeney

Our parish thanked all the different people involved in these activities by putting on a meal/party in the parish hall. Very well attended and very pleasant to see everyone together in a social setting. Our parish priest then announced that he had wanted to give everyone a bottle of wine but that John Sweeney had said "Do you know how much that would cost Father? " I think most people realised that this was a joke ( not to mention a complete fabrication) but I think some people have been a bit frosty with me since!

What do people think of the practice of making announcements just before the final blessing? We have had baby-minding certificates handed out to a class, a round of applause for the primary school winning the athletics championship and so on. I think it great and I think most other people quite enjoy it.
