United Dioceses of Dublin & Glendalough

This Sunday (May 31) is Pentecost. It sees the release of The Irish Blessing, a unique collaboration of church musicians, choirs and singers from all over the island of Ireland, to honour the dedication of frontline workers during this time of the coronoavirus. The recording will be released on YouTube on Sunday at 11am.

An appeal for recordings of an adapted version of the ancient Irish hymn, Be Thou My Vision, elicited responses from 250 different churches from every county of the island.

 

You can listen to Philip McKinley, Dublin based ordinand in the Church of Ireland Theological Institute, the Revd Rob Jones, rector of Holy Trinity Rathmines, and Sherry Hazlett–Gallen, worship director at Holy Trinity, talk about The Irish Blessing to reporter, Cian McCormack on this morning’s Morning Ireland here:
