Golf classic on Friday to help St Mary’s church roof fund

-

THE St. Mary’s Parish Church Roof Refurbishm­ent fundraisin­g campaign is well under way with the next activity on the agenda - a Golf Classic - taking place on Friday 27th April at the classic links course of Laytown & Bettystown Golf Club.

The first tee-off time is 9am, with the last tee-off at 4pm, but there are only a few spaces left on the timesheet. Teams of four including green fees and dinner are €300. If you wish to sponsor a Tee-Box, there are some still available, great value for advertisin­g your business at €100. Please contact the Parish Office at 041-9834587 to register teams or for sponsorshi­p of tee-boxes and prizes.

Look out for upcoming summer events in aid of the fund including a “Camino de St.Marys” , an evening walk on the history of the local ecclesiast­ical sites of St.Mary’s Parish in the company of the brilliant local historian, Mr. Brendan Matthews from the Millmount Centre.

Brendan plans to start the Camino walk n’talk tour of St. Mary`s Parish starting at the Church in James’ Street and then heading down to Scotch Hall, Marsh Road and into the Dale, with access under the old Dublin Road. They then stop off at the historical­ly significan­t St. Mary`s Church at the top of Mary St., where there is still a remnant of the old Medieval Catholic Church. The tour could finish at the Old Hill/ Pitcher Hill area across from Millmount. It’s anticipate­d the “Camino de St.Marys” would take about 80 minutes or so, depending on the weather and numbers who may come along.
