Parish Notices Sunday 18th March 2018
The Rector writes ‘This Thursday at 8pm in St Mary’s Church, the Carrigaline Singers will give a Concert ‘entitled Heartbeat’ which will raise much needed funds for the Carrigaline First Responders.
Admission is 10 euro and all the money raised will go to this wonderful group who are responsible not only for helping to save lives but also for erecting the beautiful old fashioned Telephone Boxes popping up all around the Carrigaline Area, including outside our own St Mary’s Church.
As most of you have already worked out, these boxes house not phones but Defibrillators which delivers a dose of electric current (often called a Counter-shock) to the heart. Please do come and support the Concert at 8pm on Thursday 22nd .’
