This was believed to be the first time that an Anglican Bishop had celebrated the Eucharist in a Catholic church in the diocese, and possibly further afield.

The Anglican congregation of Old Bar have been meeting in this church for many years now.

Last Sunday, Assistant Bishop Charlie Murry repeated that celebration.

It was the first time that Bishop Charlie had officiated in a Catholic Church as a bishop, but had done it elsewhere as a priest.

The very successful and popular markets at the beach are on again this Sunday.

A wide range of goods are offered for sale.
