One of Ireland's most famous newscasters is to speak at a County
Carlow novena this summer.
RTÉ newsreader Anne Doyle will speak at the
sixth annual Craigcullen Solemn Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help on
Monday June 27.
The novena commences on Monday May 2 and continues on for nine
consecutive Monday nights.
On each evening of the novena the rosary
will be recited starting at 7:10pm followed by Mass at 7:30pm.
As with other years, on each night of the novena a special guest
speaker will speak during the mass about their work and how their faith
guides them.
Apart from Anne Doyle this year’s Novena offers a very impressive
array of speakers.
The first speaker at the novena on May 2 will be
Northern Ireland's first Police Ombudsperson, Baroness Nuala O'Loan.
She will be followed by Jonathan Irwin founder of the Jack and Jill
Foundation.
Other speakers include the world famous Christina Noble who founded
