The annual Carol Service returns to Thurles this Sunday evening
The annual Carol Service returns to the Cathedral on the Assumption on Sunday next December 18th at 7.30 p.m.
This century old tradition, started by St. Francis of Assisi, is eagerly awaited in Thurles parish and is a way of expressing through carols, words and dance the great joy at Christmas and the Birth of our Saviour.
Local choirs and groups will be performing and there is always a wonderful atmosphere in the Cathedral which will be heaving with parishioners and people from the surrounding parishes also. Beidh failte roimh cách - everyone is welcome.
