Nine MU members from the Youghal area (including Diocesan Trustee, Veronica Deane and her mother, Vera) joined Diocesan President, Hilary Dring, and June for a short period of worship before she began her 16th “21 in 21” walk. The service was held  at the beautiful  Collegiate Church of St Mary in Youghal (now designated as a national monument) and was led by the rector, Rev Canon Andrew Orr. It included readings and lovely prayers and Andrew spoke briefly on relevant extracts from a recent book by Rt Rev’d Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich, which focussed on walking with God on the journey of life. He also presented June with a memento of the day – a scallop shell which is often considered a symbol of direction along the Camino, pointing pilgrims towards Santiago. Pilgrims also wear this symbol  which further enhances the camaraderie along this great walking trail.
