On Thursday, 3rd August 2023, the Annual Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving took place in St Anne Shandon during the Cork Pride Festival. This short service gives an opportunity to stop, reflect and remember those who have gone before from the LGBTQ+ Community as well as those who have supported members of the community, through their work, friendship or family network.

The Rev. Bruce Pierce presided at the service during which those in attendance were invited to light a candle in remembrance of loved ones, friends and companions on the journey.
