On Sunday 31st August the Altar Servers who serve at the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne went on their annual outing, accompanied by Bishop Fintan Gavin, Fr. Sean Crowley, and a number of volunteers from the Cathedral Family of Parishes.
After the 11.30am Mass at the Cathedral the group travelled to Watergrasshill where they enjoyed go-karting or archery.
The group then gathered at the Church of the Immaculate Conception to pray Vespers together. Bishop Fintan addressed the altar servers, thanking them for their service and encouraging them, noting the important role they play at liturgies at the Cathedral.
Bishop Fintan spoke of his own time as an altar server in Dublin and how the formation he received helped him to discern his calling to the priesthood.
Altar Servers' Annual Outing
The gathering concluded with food and refreshments in the parish hall in Watergrasshill.
Bishop Fintan extended thanks to the parents of the altar servers, Fr. Sean Crowley for organising the outing, Fr. Christy Fitzgerald of Watergrasshill Parish as well as the volunteers.
