PARISHIONERS CLIMB MOUNT ERRIGAL – As a fund-raiser for St Eugene’s Church, Glenock, the parish of Newtownstewart, County Tyrone, organised a sponsored climb of Mount Errigal, County Donegal.  On Sunday last (4th August 2019), two groups of climbers rose to the challenge.  The “early birds” began the ascent at 10am.  The second group, accompanied by Fr Roland Colhoun, attended the 11am Mass in Glenock and began climbing at 2pm.

The purpose of fund-raising is the restoration of the church spire at Glenock.  The spire and other features of the historic church are in urgent need of repair.  Dating from 1785, it is the fourth oldest church in the Diocese of Derry.  By the Sunday evening, the sponsored climb had raised well over £2000.  And sponsorship is still coming in.  Thank you!
