Waterford, March 5, 2013
On 24 February 2013, the Russian
Orthodox Church’s Parish of St Patrick in Ireland
organized a fair at the Edmund Rice International
Heritage Centre in Waterford. Sold at the fair were
handmade articles and pastry. The money raised was
transferred to the parish Sunday school’s fund.
Among those attending the fair were many Irish
families, as well as families from Poland, Czech
Republic, and Caribbean islands.
The parish children’s choir opened the festival.
Children who came to the fair engaged in various contests,
took drawing lessons and participated in some other
activities. The festival culminated in a performance of
12-year-old Dylan Kirny, Munster Irish Dancing Champion.
Many entries were made in the
fair’s guestbook. Visitors thanked the organizers
and expressed their hope for such festivals to be held
on a more regular basis. It will enable the Russian
Orthodox parish to play a more important part in the
life of Waterford, web-site of the Church of Holy
