The work of 44 charities and organisations was celebrated yesterday evening (Tuesday April 17) at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. Almost €125,000 from the cathedral’s Community and Charitable Fund has been distributed among the local, national and international charities and their contribution to society was honoured at a reception following Choral Evensong.
The fund, which was generated through collections at the Eucharist and donations at the candle stands during 2017, was allocated to charities working in the areas of Christian faith in action, health and wellbeing, alleviation of suffering, community support, inclusivity and education.
