St Patrick's Day Parade 2010

Another great day for Abundant Life at the St Patrick's Day parade 2010.

LIMERICK was IRELAND'S BIGGEST parade, led by grand marshall rugby star Keith Earls, with well over 3,600 people taking part - this made it a bigger festival, at least in terms of participating numbers, than Dublin, Cork or Galway.
More than 100 groups took part in the parade which had the theme 'I Love Limerick'. Estimated attendance was 60,000 - 70,000 people.

The Irish Times reported "Organisations from all walks of life were represented, with entries from Christian, sporting, business, immigrant and community groups."

We distributed 6,700 sweets, 2000 Abundant Life pens & approx 1200 prayer cards - thanks to our very fit distributors! Praise God for good weather & what a turn out!

Abundant Life's grand marshall was none other than the smiling Teresa Ryan.

Our banners looked fab, and our Love Limerick banner & International Flags group was seen on RTE Six One news last night.

Some of our mothers (Creche group) were interviewed for Radio and asked about Abundant Life. They looked amazing with T-Shirts, buggies, balloons and smiling faces.
John O'Brien's Love Limerick Logo looked great. The Young Life children were wonderful, singing Hillsongs "Rainbow - God's promises are true" - thanks to Lori & Breda, and AL (Christian) the gorilla made a lot of new friends.

Well done and thanks to all who supervised, applied their skills,participated & helped make it a fantastic day (too many to name) - but special thanks to Pawel & team for getting down the banners & painting the trailer, and Ken for driving & loading/unloading his car & trailer.
Once again, each one of you continue to bring honour to God & promote a vibrant,passionate & caring Christian church in Limerick.
