Walk Number 14

Published by Margaret Jacob in Latest News · Monday 12 Jul 2021

June’s fourteenth walk, her first in Meath and Kildare, began with a short formal service in the parish church of St Catherine in Tullamore – a beautiful Gothic style early 19th century church with a three story tower, sitting in an imposing location on the top of Hop Hill overlooking the Charleville estate on the edge of the town. The short service focussed on the theme of pilgrimage and was led by Rev Fran Grasham and Rev Isaac Delamere; June gave a short reflection and the Diocesan President, Sylvia Wheatley, read the lesson. There were very meaningful prayers, including Mary Sumner’s prayer, and two beautiful hymns – all to set the scene for a lovely walk. Around 25 people attended the service and afterwards gathered outside for lunch and light refreshments.
