Memory Tree returns to Holy Cross for Christmas season
The annual Killarney Memory Tree will once again illuminate the town this Christmas season, Holy Cross Mercy National School has confirmed.
The initiative is a vital fundraiser for the school, and organisers have thanked the public for their t support in previous years.
The lights on the Memory Tree will be lit throughout the Christmas period to commemorate loved ones.
To officially mark the start of the fundraiser, the ‘Switch On’ ceremony will take place on Tuesday, December 2, at 7 pm.
The event will feature prayers led by Fr Vitalis Barasa, along with festive carols by candlelight. All members of the public are welcome to attend.
In addition to the lighting ceremony, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for all those being commemorated by the Memory Tree.
Mass will take place on Tuesday, December 16, at 1:10 pm in St. Mary’s Cathedral.
The Memory Tree will remain lit nightly throughout the Christmas season until January 6, the Feast of The Epiphany.
Lights for the Memory Tree can be purchased from the staff and pupils of Holy Cross Mercy School, or directly from the School Office located on New Road.
