Diocesan Knitting Project
Recently I was part of Diocese of Kerry organised crafting project. The idea was that people (mostly women) from all the parishes of Kerry would knit squares. Then we all came together in Killarney to sew or crochet the squares into blankets to send with Trocaire to Gaza. It was an uplifting and enjoyable occasion and I took a few photos.

What I'm Reading Now
No Christmas reading list is complete without Ireland's Own Christmas Annual. this year it contains a story from one of our own. Be sure to read Bobby Robin's Christmas gift, a story for young people by Neil Brosnan.
They say that if you miss The Ireland's Own you miss part of Christmas. If you read all of Ireland's Own you'll miss the whole of Christmas.
I'm going to share with you a piece of knowledge I learned from this year's Ireland's Own Annual. Christmas pudding was first made in the 14th century. It was made five weeks before the big day on what was referred to as "Stirring Sunday". It was made with 13 ingredients representing Jesus and his twelve apostles. Every member of the household took a turn at stirring the mixture. It had to be stirred from East to West to represent the journey of the Magi.
