Last September/October 2016 the choir set off on their trip abroad to the wonderful city of Wroclaw, Poland. A very enjoyable time was had by all and sundry: beautiful sights were explored, delightful meals, entertaining sing-songs were enjoyed, and we sang during the evening Mass in the University Church of the Blessed Name of Jesus (top picture), one of the most beautiful churches in Poland.
Where will the choir head to in 2018 ??? Join our choir and be part of another amazing journey.
Remembering the deceased members of our choir who gave of their time and talent to enrich our liturgies.
Maureen Goldin, Mrs Waldron, Belle O’Neill, Mella Cunningham, Eithne Dwyer, Barbara Harris, Ray Dwyer, Jim Butler, Harry O’Donovan, George Healy, Jack Sheedy, Brendan Linehan, Mary Canty, Sr. Helen Wynne, Phyllis Ryan, Mary B O’Shea, Eileen O ‘Leary, John Noonan, Joe Nesdale, Louis O’Halloran, Phil Madden, Frank Gilligan, Edith Lyall.
May the light of heaven shine on them.
