Ecumenical Service

The annual Ecumenical Service of the IVCA will take place on Sunday, 21st January, commencing at 3.30 pm.

This year’s service will be held in the Academy Plaza Hotel, Cathal Brugha Street, just off the top of O’Connell Street.  The hotel is opposite the Church of St George and St Thomas which we have used for more than 10 years, but which is now closed.

The Ecumenical Service is always an enjoyable gathering and is an opportunity to remember members who have passed on.   All members, past and present, and their families, are invited to attend.  Refreshments will be served afterwards.

We hope to see as many people as possible in attendance.
