Painting up high completed in St.Patricks Church

During the past few weeks St.Patrick’s Church in Millstreet has been painted from top to bottom. It was a massive undertaking and in particular getting all the scaffolding in place. As it came down during the week, I got a chance with permission, to climb to the highest vantage point for this picture.

Michael — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:55:54 +0000

The “Sounds of Advent” concert is on this evening in St.Patricks Church at 7:30pm. The sound in the church this morning was really good with the new sound system installed and adjusted. With two choirs singing (our own Millstreet Choir and the Kerry Choir), it promises to be a very entertaining evening, especially if you had nothing already planned for the evening. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door. All proceeds to the Church Restoration Fund.
