Welcome

WELCOME to the website of the Church of Ireland/Anglican diocese of Tuam, Limerick and Killaloe.
We hope you will find much that is of interest here concerning our worship, witness, history and geographical context.

We are a relatively ‘new’ diocese, configured in its present form as recently as 2021. We cover about one third of the island of Ireland, with areas of the Midlands, the West and SouthWest and in particular the stunning coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way over the long distance from South Kerry to the edge of Co Sligo.

The area is replete with natural beauty, warm-hearted people, and a great variety of human activities from agriculture to high-tech industry to tourism to abundant centres of higher education. Our diocese includes the historic cities of Limerick and Galway.

The Office of Tenebrae took place in ancient times during the Great Triduum, the three days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday which bring Holy Week to an end..

At the climax of the Office is the recitation of part of the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah. The recitation is accompanied by the gradual extinguishing of the 15 Tenebrae candles which represents the overwhelming sense of darkness, defeat and desolation felt by the disciples in the aftermath of the crucifixion.

The service ends in silence without a dismissal, as a loud noise, the 'strepitus' echoes across the church symbolizing the earthquake that followed Christ's death.

The Limerick Dementia Social Club meets on the first Wednesday of every month from 6.30pm to 8.30pm in Our Lady of Lourdes community Cafe, Childers Road, Rosbrien. Anyone with a diagnosis of or suspected dementia is welcome to attend with a family member or friend.

The club aims to provide a dementia friendly space where people socialise, enjoy refreshments, share information and enjoy activities like singing,creative arts and light fun engaging exercises . The club aspires to reduce social isolation and promote open discussion, fun activities, acceptance and new learning.

The club was set up by a small committee of volunteers, with a background in nursing, occupational therapy and social work who were concerned at the lack of dementia friendly social outlets for people with dementia in the community. There is no fee to attend.

We also run a fun interactive community choir Melodies Memory choir in the same venue again for persons with dementia and their carers on the third and fourth Wednesdays of every month from 6.30pm to 8pm.
