Castleisland Parish Choir members are delighted to have been invited to participate as part of the choir for the Papal Mass in the Phoenix Park in Dublin on the 26th of August.
“What an honour and privilege it is for us all,” was the choir’s reaction to the great news.
They will be joined by another Castleisland choir on the big occasion – the Presentation Secondary School Choir.
The last 12 months have been a hugely profile building and successful period for the parish choir as it was also invited to participate in the RTÉ One Sunday morning mass last February.
Not to mention its powerful performance at the Good Friday Passion Play in the Church of Saints Stephen and John at the end of March.
And, last December it put on a stirring, curtain raising performance on the night of the church packing Three Tenors concert.
It’s going to make a busy summer of rehearsals for the members of both choirs with one great goal to aim for – the Phoenix Park at the end of August.
Congratulations to all involved.
The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.
When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
