Service of Nine Lessons with Carols at St George’s Church, Belfast

Tuesday December 17th 2013

Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise (The Irish Guild of the Church) supported the Annual Civil Carol Service which took place in St George’s Church, Belfast on December 15 2013.

The Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev Alan Abernethy, gave a blessing in Irish and the Lord Mayor, Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, read a lesson.

At the service Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise launched its bilingual services book, Holy Communion and Other Services of the Church of Ireland.

Dáithí Ó Maolchoille, Chair of the Irish Guild of the Church, speaking at the launch said: “The parish of St George’s should be rightly proud of their tremendous efforts to promote the greater use of Irish in their services. We also wish to commend Bishop Alan Abernethy on giving the blessing in Irish. He may not know how much this is appreciated.”

The translation of the Services of the Nine Carols was carried out by Liam Andrews and representatives from the Irish language sector also read lessons at the service.
