Who’s Who in Holy Trinity Parish

Dear Parishioners,

As we embark on a new year, it seems appropriate that we might stop and take

time to reflect on where we have come from and where we are going. With this

in mind I am delighted that the Rev’d Norman McCausland has agreed to

facilitate a parish forum on Sunday 11th October. I do hope as many parishioners

as possible will be able to attend and engage with this process. For more

information please see page 16

Nigel Pierpoint

Nigel will be made Deacon by the Archbishop on Sunday 20th September in

Christ Church Cathedral at 3.30pm. All are very welcome to attend and to offer

support to Nigel as he begins this next stage in his ministry.

We will have our own opportunity to say ‘farewell’ to Nigel on Sunday 13th

September at the 10.45am service.

Harvest

The annual Harvest Thanksgiving services will be held in early October, please

see page 14 for more information.

The Obelisk

Joan Millar has decided to pass on the Advertising ‘portfolio’ of the Obelisk and

we pay tribute to her for the sterling work she has done. Through her wise

stewardship and persuasive charm she has made the Obelisk one of the great

successes of Holy Trinity – Thank you Joan!

Trevor Jones has kindly agreed to take up the mantle from Joan.

With every good wish,

Rents - The Centre Manager has been very busy over the Summer and has

secured a number of Centre users for the forthcoming year. This has required

some of our current users moving the time slots and we deeply appreciate their

co-operation in facilitating these changes.

Grants - We have secured generous grants from the Priorities fund and

DLRCOCO – these grants must be spent on specific projects within the Centre.

We also have received a donation from the Smythe family (in memory of the late

Ernest W. Smythe). The Select Vestry has decided to apply these funds to

purchase the following: Sound boards; laptop, IT software and roller screen for

committee room; facilities for a crèche; a portable sound system and curtains for

Committee room and roller blinds for main hall and kitchen. We are extremely

grateful to the above donors for their generosity.

Plants - It is hoped to plant the flower bed on the South bank of the Centre

grounds with suitable shrubs which parishioners and friends may already have in

their gardens and be in a position to donate. Suitable plants include: David

viburnum, Zabel's cherry laurel, Schumann abelia, Barrenwort, bishop's hat, fairy

wings, Crinkle-leaf creeper, Rock cranesbill and Sweet box. For more

information please speak to the Rector.

Parish Development: Fit for Purpose

We live in an ever changing society in which our parishes face many new and

tough challenges as we strive to remain faithful to our Christian calling.

Just like the physical body, the Church, the body of Christ, can get out of shape

and become unfit for the purpose of carrying out Christ’s mission in the world.

In the same way that many of us see the benefits of a regular medical check-up

to ensure that we stay physically healthy, it is good for the body of Christ to

have a ‘medical’ to see how fit for purpose we are.

I look forward to joining you in Killiney Parish on 11th October as you continue

the process of building a new vision for the future of the parish. Together we will

examine the ‘Signs of Health’ in the parish, which you can continue to build on,

as well as identifying any ‘Symptoms of Sickness’, coming up with ways of treating

these ailments. Based on the results of this ‘examination’, you will then set new

goals for your parish for the next three to five years.

While all this may sound very serious, I am sure that the day will also be one

when we can have some fun too. It would be great if, on the day, the parish is

represented by as wide a range of parishioners as possible. So, please do come

along and make your contribution to maintaining a healthy parish, fit for the

purpose of carrying out Christ’s mission in the world.

Norman McCausland

***

Note to Parishioners

The Forum will be held immediately after the 10.45am service in the Carry

Centre.

Children and Young families will be very welcome - a crèche is being organised

for the day.

A bring and share lunch is being organised (sign up sheet at back of church)

The day should conclude by 4.30pm

Another new business opened in Dalkey

I am a busy working professional and am time poor, last weekend I needed to get a

manicure and polish and phoned Silk Beauty Spa, which I saw advertised in a recent issue of

Newsletter. The lady who answered the phone was extremely polite and said she could fit

me in at 12.30pm, I told her I’d have my 7 year old daughter with me, would there be

somewhere for her to sit while I was getting my treatment. She said no problem, we can

give her our princess manicure!

The Salon was deceptive from outside and I was dubious whilst climbing the stairs, all my

concerns were diminished the moment I reached reception. We were warmly welcomed

and offered tea / coffee / water etc. The décor is a combination of warm mink and creams,

with subtle tiling & glass surrounds and plenty of ambient candles. Straightaway, we had our

consultation and agreed what we were having done. The cleanliness, professionalism and

attention to detail from the two therapists who were in attendance to us was

exceptional. Chatting throughout the treatment I learnt a lot about the two enterprising

women who have set up this beautiful intimate beauty spa.

The main person behind the business is Nguyen Thu Thuy (Twee), her journey to Dalkey

and experience she has gathered along the way is worth sharing with your readers. Twee,

moved to Ireland 11 years ago, originally from Vietnam, she lived and studied beauty therapy

in Singapore before moving here. Twee is well travelled and has lived all across Europe, the

moment she landed in Ireland she knew she found her second home. She has been working

in beauty therapy since she left school and has a wealth of qualifications behind her from her

college years in Singapore, which she then followed up with recognizable Itec, Cibtec and

Cidesco certifications through Galligan beauty and then an advanced beauty certification in

Senior Dun Laoghaire College. Twee’s area of absolute excellence is facials, manicure and

pedicure, and has over 9 years’ experience working with Mink Salon in Donnybrook &

Ballsbridge & Pink Salon in Dundrum. Silk Beauty Spa offers a wide range of treatments and

recently included a spray tanning service. So, I wish Silk Beauty Spa the best of luck with

their new venture and highly recommend a visit. (See page 23 for more info).

Patronal Festival

We were delighted to welcome Lord & Lady Eames to Holy Trinity on Trinity

Sunday. After the service the Vestry hosted a reception in the Carry Centre

which was followed by an enjoyable and convivial meal in Killiney Golf Club.

Pictured above are Lord and Lady Eames, the Churchwardens and Rector.

Congratulations

- To Jonathan & Joan Bewley who recently celebrated their golden wedding

anniversary.

- To those who celebrated significant birthdays recently - ad multos annos!

Pentecost

On the feast of Pentecost, we joined the clergy & parishioners of St Matthias’,

Ballybrack for a festive Holy Communion in the Old Church of Killiney on

Marino Ave. Our worship was enhanced by the presence of the Steadfast Band.

Lunch in the Deanery

A number of parishioners and the Rector worshiped in St Patrick’s Cathedral on

Sunday 5th July. A bring and share lunch was enjoyed afterwards in the Deanery.

Many thanks to the Dean for his warm and welcoming hospitality.

Christian Aid

An uplifting service on May 10th marked the beginning of Christian Aid Week.

Many thanks to Marianne Irvine and her team who organised refreshments after

the service and to all those who support the work of Christian Aid.

Summer 2015

During the months of July and August the church was open to visitors. We are

grateful to the team of volunteers who assisted in making Holy Trinity more

accessible to the wider community.

A proposal to change the route of the above service will result in no bus service

travelling through Killiney Village. The newly proposed route will service Dun

Avondale Road, Loughlinstown and terminate at Loughlinstown Hospital. It

would also have an improved frequency of every 30 minutes, Monday to
