Organised by the parish priest in St Patrick’s parish in Ringsend, 120 pilgrims from Rouen will attend the World Meeting of Families, and will make a special visit to the Dublin parish. Fr Ivan Tongue has arranged that on one of the evenings of the WMOF, set to be held in the capital from August 21-26, the pilgrims and their bishop will visit the church for a prayer service.
Afterwards they will be treated to an evening of entertainment with traditional Irish music in Clan na Gael football club hall.
