Limerick Fed ICA Choir performing at Centenary Carol Service Dec 11 2010
Ecumenical Carol Service
Following many celebrations since January last marking the ICA centenary year, Limerick Federation organised their final event … a carol service in St Michael’s Church, Barrington St, Limerick recently.
Participants in the Federation choir were drawn from various guilds throughout the city and county with Ellen Looby, Drombanna conducting.
Rev Jane Galbraith and Federation President Anne Gabbett were there to welcome everybody including guest of honour Limerick’s Mayor Clr Maria Byrne .
The choir’s rendering of Christmas Carols was very moving and all who participated are to be commended including Organist Sr Ann O’Sullivan, Flautist Patricia Sheehan, Soloist Eileen O’Byrne ,and Mary Raleigh on her recitation of ‘ A Wexford Carol’.
Light refreshments of a festive nature after the service added to what was a very appropriate finale to the celebrations of 1910 / 2010.
