Annual St. Werburgh's Commemoration Service for Lord Edward FitzGerald.

A Chairde,

The annual Commemoration Service for Lord Edward FitzGerald will take place at St. Werburgh’s Church, Dublin on Sunday, 17 June, at 10.00 a.m., the anniversary of Citizen-Lord Edward’s death. The Service will be conducted by the Revd. Canon David Pierrpoint, Archdeacon of Dublin, who is Vicar for St. Werburgh’s, St. Michan’s and All-Saints Church.

Members and friends of the Robert Emmet Association are invited. I would urge you to attend this annual inter-denominational commemoration, where Lord Edward’s coffin rests in the vault supported on pedestals. A wreath will be laid on behalf of the Association at the monument at the front of the Church in honour of Lord Edward and his contemporaries who, at great cost to themselves, forged the template for a democratic society in Ireland.

Special thanks of our Association are due to Canon Pierrpoint for his commitment to this annual service and to Tom and Theresa Bashford for the promotion and organisation of this event each year among their many other commitments.

Is mé agat,

Le Mórmheas,

Brian Ó Cléirigh.
