THE NORTHSTAR Family Support Project will host its Annual Service of Commemoration and Hope at the Augustinian Church on O’Connell Street, Limerick.

We hope that past and present participants of our service, partner organisations, families and individuals who have lost loved ones to addiction will join us.”
