The Parish of Eyrecourt, Meelick and Clonfert gathered in great numbers to celebrate the conferring of the Papal Award Benemerenti on two parishioners who have given faithful and generous service to their faith community, Nancy O’Reilly and Ita Coughlan.
We thank all who helped to make the evening such a happy and memorable occasion for everyone present. We also offer our warmest congratulations to Ita, Nancy, and their families and friends.
“In our world today, examples of generosity like yours can be uncommon. For decades you have been there for the faith community here at Eyrecourt, Meelick and Clonfert. Tonight gives us an opportunity to recognise your generous service, to thank God for it and to pray God’s blessings on you both into the future. Moreover, it gives us an example of Christian service to follow in our own lives.” – Bishop Michael
