All Age Sports Service in St Mary’s Church, Carrigaline, Co. Cork
Carrigaline Union of Parishes in the Diocese of Cork held an All Age Sports Service in St Mary’s Church on 23rd October. This Service was the initiative of parishioners Simon and Michelle Woodworth and was led by Richard Dring, Diocesan Lay Reader accompanied by his wife, Organist Hilary Dring – so in all, quite a husband & wife affair!
Many diverse items of sporting equipment (Archery Bows, Chess sets, Hurleys, Tennis Racquets, Balls etc.), along with Team Jerseys were brought along for Blessing by the Rector (who was in attendance in her Kilkenny Jersey, Leinster Scarf, Munster Hat and of course Dublin heart!). The children of the parish led the prayers which were written by Simon who is a member of the Parish Healer/Prayer Group.
