Walk Number 25
Published by Margaret Jacob in Latest News · Monday 06 Sep 2021
June has now finished two thirds of her walks and, after a short respite, is starting the final dozen. Her 25th walk took place on a dull but dry day in the centre
of the Diocese of Meath and Kildare – at the Curragh.
The
afternoon began at St Patrick’s Church in Newbridge where the MU
Diocesan Chaplain, Rev’d Ruth O’Kelly, led over 20 members in a short
service of thanksgiving. Bishop
Pat Storey gave a short, very poignant reflection based on Psalm 46 and,
after the service concluded, June spoke for a few moments about Mums
in May and the commemoration services for the life and witness of
Annabella Hayes which had been held in Dublin a
fortnight earlier. Present also was the rector, the Very Rev’d Tim
Wright and his wife, Karen. Everyone who attended the service took time
for tea and fellowship on the steps of the church afterwards, before
driving the short distance to the Curragh to begin
the walk.
