(1) The Parish of Bearna will celebrate a very special Mass
for students on Tuesday May 29th at 7.30 pm.
The Mass will be led in
song by the Folk Choir of Notre Dame University, South Bend, Indiana.
(Home of The Fightin' Irish).
The choir are visiting Galway as part of
their tour of Ireland and Scotland. Just last Tuesday night, they performed an
exciting programme of contemporary Liturgical music in the National Concert Hall
in Dublin.
All are welcome to come to Bearna Parish Church on Tuesday
night and help "Keep the Candle Lit" for all those who are doing exams
this June.
(2) The Parish of Ballybane is also preparing for a
very special event. Fr Liam Lawton, composer and performer, is currently
on a nationwide tour of Ireland and will be performing an intimate evening of
songs and reflection in St. Brigid’s Church, Ballybane on Sunday 10th June
2012, in aid of Galway Hospice and Ballybane Bethany Bereavement
Support Group. This concert will be Liam’s ONLY Galway performance on his
tour and the concert is being organised as part of the 25th anniversary of the
opening of St. Brigid’s Church in Ballybane. Tickets cost €20 and early
purchase is strongly advised as there is always huge demand for Liam’s concerts.
Tickets can be purchased from Nuala 087 6719951 or Marie 086 8122201. Tickets
are also available at St Brigid’s Church after mass on Saturday evenings and
Sunday mornings.
All the details for both events can be located on the diocesan
website.
Wishing both parishes all the best in their preparations for these two very
special nights.
