Dúirt an tUrr Charles McCollum, “Bhí seisiún feasachta againn le Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise agus bhí suas go fiche cléir ann le spéis acu sa togra seo. Chuir mé róta le chéile agus d’fhás an togra, Buille Chroí Gaeilge na Deoise, as sin”.
Dúirt Cathaoirleach Chumann Gaelach na hEaglaise , Dáithí Ó Maolcoille, “Is cúis áthais dúinn tacú leis an togra seo. Tugann sé deis do phobal na deoise léargas agus tuiscint nua a bheith acu ar a gcuid liotúirge agus tá fhios againn go bhfuil dea–thoil ar an talamh agus i measc an chléir ann.”
Tá níos mó Ardeaglaisí i nDeoise Chaisil agus Osraí ná in aon deoise eile Anglacánach ar fud an domhain. Tá sé Ardeaglaisí ann agus is é an teideal iomlán ar an nDeoise ná: Deoise Chaisil, Phort Láirge, Leasa Móire, Osraí, Fhearna agus Leithghlinne.

We put a rota together and the Irish Heartbeat in the Diocese initiative grew out of this”.
