WelCom November 2024
Whanganui parishioners were treated to 90 minutes of Irish singing in St Mary’s Church Hall after Sunday 9.30am Mass on 25 August. Members of a music group for Mass, Chris Cantillon, Paula Carter, Beth Savage and Andre Watson, were in full voice as their band ‘That’s Irish’ sang a range of songs including ‘Oh Danny Boy’, ‘Bog Down in the Valley’, ‘Whiskey in the Jar’. The audience sang along with toe tapping and dancing in the aisles. The event raised everyone’s spirits after the impacts of winter viruses and long, wet and cold months. ‘Just what the doctor ordered,’ said a parishioner. Words and photo from Sue Seconi.
The post Irish band at Whanganui parish first appeared on Archdiocese of Wellington.
