Parish Notices Sunday 14th January 2018
The Rector writes ‘ The Bishop invites you all to attend two important commissioning events to be held this month in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral. The first is the commissioning of Hilda Connelly as Diocesan Youth Officer and this will be at 3:30pm on Sunday 21st January. The next will be the commissioning of the Revd Alan Marley as Chaplain for UCC and his installation as Prebendary of Dromdaleague and Kilnaglory which will all take place at 3:30pm on Sunday 28th January.
These are important diocesan occasions and we are all invited to be part of them. Hilda is already well known to many of you in our parish ,her aunt Iris & cousins Oriel & Luke obviously, but also to many of our young people as she has included our gang in many of her outings in her previous part-time role as West Cork Youth Officer. The former Dean of Cloyne is also well known in the diocese and he will be an excellent and very much needed chaplain in UCC. I encourage all who possibly can to come along and support Hilda & Alan on their special days (and also to soak up the wonderful Cathedral music & singing) but in particular I would ask any young people who know Hilda or any of you who work or attend UCC to make a special effort to be there.’
