On Sunday, 17th December, Cloyne Cathedral held its Carols by Candlelight service.

The Dean of Cloyne, the Very Rev. Susan Green, writes:

The Carols by Candlelight service in St Colman’s Cathedral was an amazing service. It was a traditional Service of Nine Lessons and Carols and the beautifully decorated Cathedral was lit by candlelight. Most of the congregation had brought their own candles too and their soft glow lit up the beautiful surroundings.

Many thanks to the Clerks Choral for singing under the direction of Colin Nichols, who together with Matthew Breen, Assistant Director of Music at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, took all the rehearsals, and to Ian Sexton for playing the organ. Our thanks also to all the clergy who robed, and to everyone who read. Much praise to all who so lovingly prepared the Cathedral for us, and to everyone for coming.
