MUSIC IN PARISH: I’m sure we are all grateful for the contribution of our Parish Choir in Shannonbridge– but we have children who would love to sing at Clonfanlough but we simply need someone to lead & direct them. Could you be that person? Even fortnightly/monthly? I can print hymns like I have below– but a “live” choir is much, much better. (T. Cox)
