Mothers Union
The Wednesday in Holy week April 17th has now become an annual event for the prayer walk. This year it took place in Tourin gardens which is well worth a visit. Our leader this year was Mrs. Hazel Sweetnam from Glanmire also thanks to the ladies who played the music. Great to see many new people again this year. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. Thanks to the Lismore branch for inviting us to join them.
On 11th May there will be a council meeting in Carrigaline starting at 10.30.
The Diocesan Service will be in Carrigaline on the 30th May at 7.30pm. Bishop Colton will be our preacher and Mrs. Hiliary Dring will be commissioned as our new Diocesan President. Everyone is welcome to attend. For further information please contact Ruth Sherlock.
Doneraile Bells
On the 18th April the bells were rung in the Doneraile Tower in solitary with the fire in Notre Dame Cathedral. Ringers from other towers like to come to visit at times. We look forward to hosting ‘The Society of Rambling Ringers’ who will come to ring at St. Mary’s, Doneraile on Sunday 26th May, from 16:30 to 17:30.
