Harvest Gathering to Take Place in St Audoen’s
St Audoen’s, Cornmarket, Dublin 8, location of the Office of Public Works Visitors’ Centre, is hosting a “Harvest Gathering” on Friday October 18 2013 at 7.30 pm with a revival of a Harvest Thanksgiving in St Audoen’s, the only surviving medieval Church in Dublin. The church is next door to the other St Audoen’s on High Street, centre for the Polish Chaplaincy.
The Church will be decorated with flowers, foliage, fruit and vegetables, and the Gathering will be celebrated in singing and with music, poetry and readings.
The ancient bells of St Audoen’s will be rung before the event which will be followed by a reception in the Visitor Centre, where traditional Harvest and Halloween fare will be provided. This free event is open to the public.
The produce of fruit and vegetables, donated towards the decoration of the church for this thanksgiving will be on display over the weekend of October 18 to 20. All produce will then be donated to the Morning Star Hostel for the homeless.
The event will be covered by Dublin Community Television, recently returned from covering (sponsored by St Audoen’s) the Homeless World Cup in Poznan Poland, in which the Homeless Irish Soccer Team took part.
