Just a reminder to everyone that this Sunday will be a very special
Mass for two reasons.

Firstly, it is the last official SHUXI Mass of the term.

And more importantly, Nora will be getting Baptised and Confirmed. I
would like to say something very prfound or sentimental here but
cannot think of anything, I am sure a wiser man such as Father Alan
will be able to put it far better than I. However, it is a truely
wonderful occasion and it would be good to show our support.

Now, the pressing matter...Germany were lucky. Outclassed for the
entire match and yet Ireland had to wait until the last minute to
score, but what a beauty of a goal it was. Even Tina admits that
Kahn, the German keeper, kept them in it. Still, Ireland did not
take their plentious opportunities and must accept a draw was the
fair result.

Notice how I couldn't think of anything to wirte abotu Nora's
Baptism, but when it comes to football, that is another story. I
would just like to point out that I do actually believe Nora's
Baptism to be the more important of the two.

God Bless All. Damien.
