LAGGANSTOWN CHRISTMAS CRIB
Lagganstown’s 10th Annual Christmas Blessing takes place this Sunday, December 18 at 7:00pm. To help mark this milestone we are launching and selling Lagganstown 2023 Calendar and we will also have plenty of music, poetry & song. Santy is set to arrive in style (the sort of style that hasn’t been seen in these parts before and unlikely to be seen again) so it is set to be a most special and memorable one. Cuan Saor will also be in attendance, and we kindly ask you to support this great cause on the night. Cuan Saor, a women’s refuge centre based in Clonmel is a free and confidential service for women and children experiencing domestic violence. You are invited to donate some non-perishable food (e.g., tea bags, cereals, jams, canned food i.e., beans, peas, dried fruit, soup etc). All are welcome and your continued support is very much appreciated to keep this tradition of ours alive.

Please support the lines for sale in The Shop or from any committee member. This is their only fundraising this year.
