It was very well attended. Families and friends were comforted by the beautiful candlelit Mass and the lovely atmosphere. Rehearsals for the Songs of Faith which took place on Sunday 18th of October and 8th November were a tremendous success with an excellent attendance. Both workshops attracted a lot of talented young people, the majority of which were between the ages of 13-18 years old with an array of instruments and talents. Under the direction of Ian Callinan, composer and musical director young people from different parishes, city and county, including our own, learnt and rehearsed a number of musical pieces for the upcoming concert on Sun. Nov. 22nd at 7pm. Ian’s approach resulted in an extremely well organised workshop, which engaged the young people and added fun to their experience. All the evidence from the workshops and the enthusiasm of the participants is promising to be a very entertaining and successful Songs of Faith Concert. The Christmas carol concert will take place on December the 13th at 5pm. It promises to be a lovely evening with performances from schools, children’s groups, our choir, Gospel choirs and visiting artistes. Admission free; all welcome. Christian meditation continues each Tuesday morning after 9.30am Mass. All are most welcome to attend. The Christmas Giving Tree will be launched on Saturday, 28th and Sunday 29th of November and will run up to December 13th. This very successful initiative has been of tremendous support to our local charities, schools and families over the years particularly at this special time of the year. We thank you most sincerely for your past and continued generosity. Please take a blank gift tag from the tree, mark it for a boy/girl, and the appropriate age or for male/female for an adult, attach to the present and place at the foot of the tree.
