We wish all students well as they prepare for their state exams. Also those
college students who have just finished exams.
On May 10th we joined the Fermoy MU ladies at Carmel’s Garden Centre,
Kilworth where we enjoyed a lovely evening in Summer sunshine and a
walk around the garden. Thanks to Carmel for light refreshments served
to finish our evening.
On Saturday 20th May Our Diocesan Festival was held in Carrigaline. It
was great to have Bishop Andrew Proud the MU Central Chaplain speak
having lived in Ethiopia for some years. He was able to see the work of
the MU out there. Also our All Ireland President Mrs. Phyllis Grothier
attended. It was great to have time to meet her. Thanks to Mrs. Hazel
Sherlock for keeping Phyllis for the weekend and driving her to the
service in Carrigaline and also to Kenmare on Sunday where she finished
her walk for the pilgrim way MU 130 years in Ireland. She then joined in

congregation about the work of Mothers’ Union.
