Eithne and the choir wish to thank Aideen and her Junior choir, Michael and Colette Grant, their participation helped to create a truly memorable experience for all.
We would also like to thank the faithful congregation of St Mary’s for their support throughout the year, for the great support of Fr Bill and all priests and for Mary and the sacristy and parish teams.
As we face into our 20th anniversary year the choir wish to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible musical director Eithne Donnelly, who has inspired and shaped us with great patience and brought out the best in our music.

Wishing you all a happy New Year.
Thank You
A very belated but huge thank you to everyone for the good wishes before and after my surgery at the end of October. Your prayers, Masses, messages, scones, tarts, phone calls and support in so many ways means more than I can say and I feel truly blessed to be a part of our parish community.
