Kill O’ the Grange Parishioners Celebrate Church’s 150th Anniversary
The Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh, the Rt Revd Ferran Glenfield, returned to Kill O’ the Grange Parish in Dublin where he was rector for 16 years yesterday (Sunday April 6) for a special service to mark the 150th anniversary of the church.
The Bishop preached at the morning service and afterwards was presented with a painting of the church by parishioner, Joy Taylor, which was commissioned for the occasion.
Following the ceremony two trees were planted one by Bishop Glenfield and the other by the Revd Arthur Young, the current Rector of Kill O’ the Grange.
A large number of parishioners joined the celebration including Bishop Glenfield’s son Richie who assisted his father with the tree planting.
A number of other events are planned over the coming months to mark the anniversary year.
