The animal congregation was 100 per cent canine at last Sunday’s pets’ service but they were on their best behaviour – most of the time. Christina Kelly with guide dog Effie and Renaith Keane with assistance dog Kacki both spoke at the service and there was a retiring collection for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.

A beautifully decorated church reminded us of the fruits of the land that we in this part of the world are so blessed to enjoy in abundance, at yesterday’s Harvest Thanksgiving.

St Paul’s choir joined with the choir of St Bartholomew’s in Ballsbridge on Sunday, September 15th for the baptism followed by Evensong there of Finnian Barnes, son of our organist Caroline and her husband Ben, director of music at St Bart’s.
