‘St Catherine’s United’ Raises €2000 for Church Restoration Fund
CORE (St. Catherine’s) C hurch in Dublin held a table quiz last night (February 21) to raise funds for its neighbouring St. Catherine’s Roman Catholic Church in Meath Street which was devastated by a fire just over a year ago.
The evening called ‘St. Catherine’s United’ saw over 160 participants from both churches rally together to aid the restoration efforts of the Meath Street church. At the end of the evening, the Rev’d Craig Cooney, minister of CORE, presented Father Niall Coughlin with a cheque for €2,000 which was warmly received by the parishoners of St. Catherine’s, Meath Street.
Speaking after the event, Rev’d Craig Cooney said: “Tonight has been a great evening of fun and friendship with our neighbours here in Dublin 8. Not only was a large amount of money raised, but more importantly, friendships have been forged which can be developed in the months and years ahead.”
