East Cork wasn’t only the centre of attention on Sunday, 22nd June because of the Irish Open Golf at Fota.  Young people from Cloyne Union of Parishes and Fermoy Union were being confirmed by the Bishop – Dr Paul Colton – in the Cathedral Church of Saint Colman, Cloyne.  This group of young people were the first recipients of a new Confirmation certificate recently designed especially for use in the Diocese.
