The crowd gathered at Our Lady’s Grotto, Clybenane on All Saints Day
On All Saints Day (November 1st), marking the Jubilee Year of Hope, a special event took place in the Citeaux Hall where a native oak tree sponsored by Miltown Garden Centre was blessed by Fr Laurence Walsh OCSO and carried to Our Lady’s Grotto in Clybenane.
It is hoped it will flourish in years to come and the organisers expressed sincere thanks to the Delaney Family, Mountheaton and to Fr Laurence, Fr Malachy, Br. Alberic and Br. Stephen and to all who attended the event and helped in any way.
