Church Fundraisers
The following events are being organised as fundraisers for the new church floor in St Nicholas of Myra Church.
There will be a party night on the 16th March in the Imaal Hall, where Sean Daynes will shave his beard off provided we get sponsorship for over €2,000. The operation transformation/fundraiser is going well and we have another group doing the “Run-a-muck” fundraiser on the 1st march. All proceeds will go towards the Church floor. It is also hoped to do some Line Dancing on March 16th and our own “Gedward” might even make an appearance on the same night. Music on the night will be by “Sister Act”. While the church is closed for these renovations Mass is being celebrated in St Nicholas’s Church Of Ireland Church at 8pm on Saturday evening and 10am on Sunday mornings.
