Alzheimer’s Tea Day

Run by ‘Pop-In’ Group &

Rathfarnham Active Retirement Association

We are holding our Tea Day in the Parish Centre on on Thursday 3rd May 10.30am – 12noon. We ask parishioners to give their full support to this event.

To quote from their letter, the Alzheimer Society ‘helps to transform the life of a family struggling to care for someone with Alzheimer’s’.

Life as a Sermon!

I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day;
I’d rather one would walk with me, than merely point the way.
The eye’s a better pupil and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing but example’s always clear.

And the best of all the preachers are those who live their creeds;
For to see good put into action is what everybody needs!
I soon can learn to do it if you’ll let me see it done;
I can see your hands in action but your tongue too fast may run.

And the lectures you deliver may be very fine and true;
But I’d rather get my lessons by observing what you do!
For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give;
But there’s no misunderstanding how you act and how you live!
