People from seven different parishes from the United Dioceses of Cork, Cloyne and Ross came to Carrigaline Parish Hall on Saturday 18th March to take part in a Church Banner Workshop organised by the Diocesan Children’s Ministry Group.

Hard at work at the Church Banner workshop organised by the Cork, Cloyne and Ross Children’s Ministry Group in Carrigaline, County Cork.

Noeleen Hogan came all the way from Co. Wicklow to share her expertise in this area and at the end of a hard day’s work, every parish went home with a unique finished Alleluia Banner to use during Eastertide (as well as the knowledge and expertise on how to make more Banners for their church in the future).

The Church Banner workshop organised by the Cork, Cloyne and Ross Children’s Ministry Group in Carrigaline, County Cork.

A great day was enjoyed by all, in fact, it was agreed to hold another workshop in the Autumn to prepare some exciting banners in advance of Christmas.
