Summer is teasing us a bit at the moment, but hopefully, we're getting there.
It was somewhat promising to see the coatless crowds at all the sports events last Sunday - better days ahead!
Great to see Super Garden back on RTE once again. Birdie and Co are really looking forward to Bloom in the Park once again this year.
Congratulations and Good Luck to AONTAS Choir, who have been invited to sing at the Dublin Pilgrimage in Knock this Saturday. If you haven't heard them sing, you don't know what you're missing!
Our Italy Pilgrims are enjoying the delights of Italy at the moment, and we're hearing great reports along the way.
Looking forward to seeing Lucan Drama in their new venue at Courtneys. The one-act plays run from 12th to the 15th of May - check out their notes in this issue.
St. Mary's Camera Soiree
Donal and Joe were out and about around Lucan during the week and found the grounds of St. Edmundsbury looking green and fresh. Plenty of wild garlic and bluebells are in bloom at the moment.
Josie is on the Parish Pilgrimage to Italy and she sent us a photo from Assisi. After Assisi the pilgrimage moved on to take in Florence, Luca, Pisa and Orvieto.
Michael G was in Cambridge and submitted a photo of the inside of King's College Chapel. The dark oak screen which houses the organ was a gift of Henry VIII and bears his initials and those of Anne Bolyne, his queen. This dates between 1533 when Henry married Anne and 1536 when he had her executed! The fan vault, completed between 1512 and 1515, is 24 meters high and the undoubted glory of the building. There are 26 sets of stained-glass windows which took 30 years to install, many commissioned by Henry VIII.
Until next week stay safe!
