Canon Donough O’Malley describes the concert as a para-liturgy, meaning that there will be an opening and closing prayer, and some congregational singing.
“It’s part of our parish contribution towards the Limerick City of Culture, and hopefully there will be good attendance,” he added.
The fourth concert in the LPOF series is the special anniversary concert which will take place in St. John’s cathedral on Wednesday, May 21, at 8pm which will feature internationally renowned organist David Briggs.
