The Church of Ireland Bishop of Tuam, Limerick and Killaloe, the Rt Rev’d Michael Burrows, plans to visit every church in this vast new merged diocese, which stretches from Co Mayo in the north to Co Kerry in the south and Co Limerick and parts of Offaly and Tipperary in the east.
It covers over a third of the area of the island of Ireland and has nearly 100 churches. Bishop Michael is an organist, and this project will involve him joining with congregations to play the organ, harmonium, or piano in every one of the churches in the diocese, and for churches where there is no available instrument, he will bring a keyboard.
This project is entitled New Lamps Being Lit and intends to raise funds for two charities in Madagascar and Burundi both of which aim to ‘Empower Women through Literacy’.
