There were amazing displays of flowers put together on the theme ‘in Praise and thanksgiving’.

The festival was officially opened on Friday evening by Mrs. Mary C. O’ Keefe former president of A.O.I.F.E (Association of Irish Floral Artists).

The Church was truly transformed and amazed all who came to see and enjoy.

The Church porch was decorated beautifully by the Templebreedy School children, gorgeous displays by parishioners, friends and flower club artists from across the county.
