Cork charity to host annual communion fayre to help those struggling with cost of living
Ms Twomey said anyone who needs communion apparel for their child should 085 1201742.
A Cork charity is set to host its annual holy communion fayre to help families struggling with the cost of living.
Cork Penny Dinners has, in recent years, run a first communion 'shop' to help families finding it difficult to make ends meet ahead of children celebrating the event.
Caitríona Twomey, the charity’s volunteer co-ordinator, told that she and her team would be holding their fayre in the Sacred Heart Parish Centre on the Western Road on Sunday, March 23, from 11am until 5pm.
“There will be plenty of parking there on the day, and loads of treats for the communion children,” Ms Twomey said.
“First Holy Communion Day should be a very special day for young people, so it’s important to be able to help people who might be struggling with the cost of living.
“Everything families might need for the special day is available to them free of charge.
“If people would like to make donations, we are looking for prayer books, rosary beads, socks, underwear, and treats for the children," she said.
Ms Twomey said anyone who needs communion apparel for their child should 085 1201742.
