Cúlra Bunaíodh Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise sa bhliain 1914 chun (1) meon na Sean–Eaglaise Ceiltí a choimeád beo in Eaglais na hÉireann agus baill na hEaglaise a chuireann spéis sa Ghaelachas a bhailiú le chéile, (2) úsáid na Gaeilge a leathnú san Eaglais, (3) iomainn agus ábhar diaga eile a bhailiú ó litríocht na Gaeilge agus (4) ceol agus ealaíon Éireannach a chur ar aghaidh in imeachtaí na hEaglaise. Background Information Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise: The Irish Guild of the Church was founded in 1914 to (1) promote all that tends to preserve within the Church of Ireland the spirit of the ancient Celtic Church and to provide a bond of union for all members of the Church of Ireland inspired with Irish ideals, (2) promote the use of the Irish language in the Church, (3) collect from Irish sources suitable hymns and other devotional literature, (4) encourage the use of Irish art and music in the Church.
Bíonn an tseirbhís seo eagraithe ag Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise agus Pobal an Aifrinn. Bíonn téama difriúil ann gach bliain agus roghnaigh Pobal Chríostaí na Polainne an téama i mbliana, in eadhon: “Tiocfaidh claochlú orainn go léir”.
Dúirt Dáithí Ó Maolchoille, Cathaoirleach Chumann Gaelach na hEaglaise,
“Nuair a chuireamar tús leis an tseirbhís seo in 1971 ní raibh fhios againn cad a bhí romhainn. Is iontach an tacaíocht a fuaireamar thar na blianta. Is mór an pribhléid dúinn bheith páirteach leis an togra seo go fóill. Tá fáilte roimh chách idir chléir agus tuath”.
Beidh sólaistí ar fáil thíos staighre sa Lusca ina ndiaidh agus beidh an taispeántas dátheangach “Scoth na Leabhar” le feiceáil freisin.
Interdenominational Service in Irish, Christ Church Cathedral
There will be an interdenominational service in Irish in Christ Church Cathedral on Friday evening, 20 January, during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
This service is being organised by Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise in conjunction with Pobal an Aifrinn. The theme for this year, chosen by the Christian community in Poland is: “We will all be changed”.
The chairman of Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise said,
“When we planned the first service back in 1971 we had no idea that it would be still going strong over 40 years later. We very much appreciate the tremendous support we have received over the years. It is our privilege to be involved each year.
We extend a warm welcome to all to attend this service on Friday evening”.
There will be refreshments available in the Crypt downstairs after the service and it will still be possible to see the bilingual exhibition “the best of books”.
