Parish Happenings
Lenten Appeal During this Lent I would like to suggest that we in the Templebreedy Group hold the Church in the Holy Land in our prayers and most particularly the work of Friends of the Holy Land. Donations can be made up until Easter. Please use the buckets provided in each church – Holy Trinity and Nohoval – to make your donation.

The distinguished Cork-based chamber choir, MusiCórum (conductor Geoffrey Spratt), will buttress a performance of Monteverdi’s splendid “Mass [in F] for four voices”, SV 257, with first performances of Milo McCarthy’s magnificent new motet, “Animam meam levavi”, for solo soprano, cello, organ and mixed-voice choir. The performance of the Mass will embrace two of Monteverdi’s solo motets (“Salve, o regina” and “Exulta filia”) for soprano and continuo, with the internationally-renowned soprano, Mary Hegarty, being joined by cellist Hugh McCarthy and organist Thomas Doyle.
Seamans Christian Friend Society Our parish continues to support by this initiative by providing personal gift bags containing practical items of need. If you would like to contribute items like shower gel & shampoo (ideally 250ml bottles as these fit perfectly in the large zip lock bags), soap, heavy socks, warm hats, razors, snack bars, writing pads, toothbrushes etc this month. The idea is to reach one ship’s crew per month. Many thanks for your continued support.
