In lovely sunshine, AIP June was blessed on her way by The Reverend Canon Kevin Graham, Rector of St Bartholomew’s parish as she set off to complete the first of her walks in Connor Diocese. June was accompanied to Ormeau Bridge by Alberta, Co-ordinator of the Finance & Administration Unit.

The Very Reverend Stephen Ford, Dean of Belfast, joined June at Ormeau Bridge and they continued walking to Albert Bridge where Alberta met June again and they continued to Belfast Cathedral, walking through some of the oldest streets in Belfast and visiting the new modern St Anne’s Square.

At Belfast Cathedral Dean Stephen led a short act of worship with AIP June reading from St John’s Gospel. Alberta used the Wave of Prayer to pray for the Dioceses nominated for 13^th April, she also prayed for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in this time of sorrow following the death of Prince Philip.

Former DP Valerie, DS Irene and winner of the recent All Ireland poetry competition and Cathedral branch member, Valerie joined in the worship.

All monies raised on ’21 in 21’ walks will go to the ‘MUMS in MAY’ fund to provide support for MU projects in Ireland and overseas. There are several ways to support ‘Mums in May’ see links below.
