A group of  American woman will present a special gift to local Ukrainians on Sunday.

The presentation on July 3 coincides with the annual 4th of July Festival when Killarney celebrates all things American.

A group of US-based woman regularly tune into online services that are broadcast from St Mary’s Church in the town centre.

They have handcrafted special Prayer Shawls. A Prayer Shawl is a knitted or woven scarf or wrap that has been created while the creator prays for the recipient.

It comes with a special prayer and blessing that the wearer may “be cradled in hope, kept in joy, graced with peace, and wrapped in love”.

“I have a contact in their neighbourhood who suggested they send the gift to me for our refugees. My contact regularly tunes in to ‘attend’ our service on live-streaming. This has turned out to be a big undertaking because the package was delivered to Iceland and has taken a long while to get to me,” explained the Venerable Simon J Lumby the Rector of Killarney.

“It is a very timely and much needed blessing for those evicted from their country by external aggression.”

The presentation will be made at St Mary’s Church on Sunday during 11am service.
