He expressed his thanks to Cork Carers Support Manager, Peter Cox, for maintaining the tradition over the years. To mark the occasion, a special cake was delivered to the office.
Mr Molloy noted that the annual mass provides a wonderful opportunity for carers to meet and connect with carers from another county, and that many lasting friendships have been formed between Cork and Tipperary carers as a result.
He added that the occasion was particularly moving for him personally, as the mass was celebrated on the anniversary of his late mother, who had been a regular attendee at the event.
Following the mass, refreshments and music were enjoyed at the Cork centre
