Annual Pentecost (Whitsunday) Open–Air Ecumenical Service at Irvinestown and Castle Archdale

On the afternoon of Sunday 19th May 2013 at 3.00pm, the Day of Pentecost, the annual open–air service which has customarily been led by both Bishops of Clogher will take place this year at the Centenary Garden within the grounds of Sacred Heart Church in Irvinestown, and afterwards at St Patrick’s Parish Church, Castle Archdale. The Church of Ireland Bishop of Clogher, the Rt Revd John McDowell, and the Most Revd Dr Liam MacDaid, Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher, will lead this special open–air service.

During the service young people from the local area will lead the prayers, and the singing will be led by Irvinestown Community Choir. Bishop Mc Dowell will deliver a talk on the Holy Spirit and the Churches.

A warm invitation is extended to all to join in this occasion, and refreshments will be made available afterwards.
