Hundreds join Good Friday walk in Kilkenny

Hundreds join Good Friday walk in Kilkenny

The group walked from St Johns Church to the Friary.

Over 300 people too part in this year’s annual Good Friday Walk which was led by Bishop Niall Coll in solidarity with the
people of our country and world who carry the cross of homelessness, war, famine, migrancy, trafficking and abandonment.

The annual walk is organised by the Kilkenny Gospel Choir. A relic of the True Cross was carried in procession for a service of blessing and prayer around the Cross in the Friary Church in Kilkenny.

Members of the Ukrainian community, Indian community and Polish community joined in the walk for peace and reconciliation in the world. This is the third time that the relic was used on Good Friday for blessing of those who come to the walk and service. The relic of the true cross is one of a kind in the world and has the original and official seal of authenticity and approval by the Vatican.
