Radio Maria Christmas fundraising night set for Letterkenny

Catholic radio station Radio Maria Ireland will be holding their very first Christmas fundraiser in Donegal later this month. 

On Thursday, November 28, in The Mount Errigal Hotel, Letterkenny, doors open on the evening at 6pm for a night that will include a four-course meal, fantastic raffle prizes, live entertainment featuring local musicians Hugh P and Maria Doherty and also in attendance will be John Carlin and Deacon Don Devaney the President and Spiritual Director of Radio Maria who will share some highlights of the year.

The radio is Ireland’s only Catholic radio station broadcasting to an audience of hundreds of thousands of listeners, both nationally and internationally. As a registered charity, Radio Maria Ireland seeks to provide a supportive, easy-listening service free of all commercial advertising and with a variety of programming, prayer, and music 24 hours a day. The three pillars of the broadcasting are catechesis, prayer, and human formation, accompanying the listeners on their own journey of faith.
