Journalist Mary Kenny.

Journalist broadcaster and playwright Mary Kenny was one of the speakers at our International Anthony Trollope Summer School this year. She stayed in The Bush Hotel and went to Mass in St Mary’s Carrick on Sunday Morning  and I quote’’ I was stunned by the reconstructed Altar there . It is very modern and very beautiful.  Silver undulating bars from a design across the back of the Altar, behind which is a magnified Eucharist symbol, in sun like proportions. The effect is wonderfully uplifting. The porches of the Church are reconstructed in glass and bring an effect of light and transparency. The priest was  Father Michael Mc Grath’. Thus wrote Mary in this week’s Irish Catholic.
