Clergy and lay church workers from Cork, Cloyne and Ross, gathered in St Fachtna’s Cathedral, Rosscarbery, Co Cork with the Bishop, the Right Reverend Dr Paul Colton, on Maundy Thursday, for the annual Chrism Eucharist and the Renewal of Ordination vows and Commitment to Ministry. The Dean of Ross, the Very Reverend Christopher Peters, together with the Cathedral Chapter, was present, and afterwards he and the parishioners of Ross Union provided a wonderful lunch for the entire congregation in the narthex of the Cathedral.
