Please remember in your prayers, the families and friends of Paul Conway and Wes O’Reilly who died tragically on Wednedsay in the accident at Gormanston.

We ask the Lord to be with their families at this time and to walk with them and give them strength as they try to come to terms with this terrible loss.

We also remember all who were injured and pray that they make a full recovery.

Please remember all these families in your prayers.
