Sacred Heart Church to be Rebuilt

The R.C. Bishop has finally agreed to have our church rebuilt. The Bishop and a committee representing our church have met on several occassions in the past before this decision has been reached. Committes are to be set up to handle financial and other matters relating to the rebuilding of the church. Meanwhile the parishoners including myself will continue to worship at the Ursuline Chapel where we have been worshipping since our church has been destroyed by fire on Christmas Day 2004. We will keep you informed on future developments.

Footprints

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed hewas walking along the beach with the LORD.Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. Foreach scene, he noticed two sets of footprints inthe sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of foot-prints. He also noticed that it happened at thevery lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned theLORD about it. "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.During your times of trial and suffering, whenyou see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Sacred Heart Church

On the 25th December 2004 the Sacred Heart Church was completely destroyed by fire. To this day it has not been rebuilt nor has our Bishop who is a Trinidadian and has only taken up his position a few years ago, agreed to rebuild the church. In the meantime the parishioners most of whom are closely knit and who want to see their church rebuilt, are very disappointed with the Bishop for not agreeing to rebuild their church. The Catholic Church would not have to spend any money if the church is to be rebuilt for several persons both in Guyana as well as overseas have offered financial help.

MY FRIEND FARLEY

My friend Julian Farley and I had a drink last night at a nearby bar. We were joined by our esteemed associate MR Cecil A Ramcharan and our friend Sean also known as Buckman. While we were having a good time, a waitress attemped to robb us by inflating our bill by 50%. My friend farley who is a teacher by profession promptly made some mental calculations and rebuked the waitress who promptly returned the extra money which she was attempting to steal from us. Apart from that incident we had quite an enjoyable evening.

SONG OF PRAISE

Praise the Lord in all things coming, Praise the Lord walking or running.When dragons drool near your head Praise the Lord!When hot harmattan winds crease your face Praise the Lord!When your dream vanishes wide and empty Praise the Lord!When sorrows come on full and plenty Praise the Lord!Praise the Lord in all things coming, Praise the Lord walking or running.When a thousand chains enfold your body Praise the Lord!When, by love, they melt and you feel happy Praise the Lord!When ambitions fall, Man, rise up again and praise the Lord, Man, rise up again and praise the Lord.You see twelve-headed monsters staring you down Praise the Lord!You see the pathway increasing with snakes Praise the Lord!They assume shapes like human beings, they call you names behind your back, they pull at your hair, try to knot-up your legs try to knot-up your hands try to knot-up your head.Still, you must praise the Lord in all things coming,Praise the Lord walking or running.I say, praise the Lord in all things coming,Praise the Lord walking or running.
