Afterwards, everyone is warmly invited to mulled wine (non-alcoholic, so you can drive home safely!) and mince pies!

Parish Carol Singing in aid of the Dublin Simon Community in Blackrock Shopping Centre on Thursday 19th December 2024 5pm-7pm

We will be singing with enthusiasm and gusto for Dublin Simon. If you can’t sing, come and shake a collection box! And if you can’t stay for all two hours, come for as long as you can!

Friday 20^th December 2013 17.00-19.00.  It is a long stretch, so it is hoped that people may come along and sing/collect for even part of that time, even for 30 minutes or 1 hour.  

It would be fantastic to get a HUGE response to this, and to do a little bit at Christmas for the homeless.  This is one of those occasions where we are not asking for money –although of course, you may make a donation if you wish—we are asking you to give some time and some energy for others this Christmas.

Please put this in your diary.  Bring your children, friends, etc., etc., to make a fantastic and enthusiastic sound for others!  If you are concerned that your singing might not be wonderful, and you think that you cannot take part… no such excuse will be entertained!!!!!  You can do an excellent job of rattling the collection boxes.
