One of the high points of the year for everyone in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork is the annual Festival Eucharist and Civic Service for St Patrick’s Day. Afterwards the Bishop and Mrs Colton welcome their invited guests to a reception at their home, among them the Lord Mayor and City Council, other civic leaders and representatives of voluntary groups in Cork. Here are this year’s photos:
