DEBRA Ireland are looking for some carol singers to help raise funds for our
charity over the Christmas period.

DEBRA Ireland is the national charity established in 1988 to provide patient
support services and to drive research into treatments and cures for those
living with the genetic skin condition, epidermolysis bullosa (EB).

This is a very distressing and painful condition which causes the skin layers
and internal body linings to blister and wound at the slightest touch.  Due to
the presence of constant wounds, patients with a severe form of EB are
susceptible to a very aggressive form of skin cancer, from as early as their
teenage years.

DEBRA Ireland is striving to end this heartache and pain by funding high level
research programmes to find treatments and cures for EB and skin cancer.

We have booked the venues and will supply you with everything you need; all you
have to do is come along with a band of merry singers!

If you are interested, please contact Jennifer on 01 412 6924 or email
jennifer@....

Your help would really mean the world to us, especially during these difficult
times.

Thank you!

Singing Psalms Vol 2 (Responsorial Psalms for Year C) is now published and
will be launched officially on:

Saturday 14th Nov in All Saints', Clooney, Derry @ 11am

and

Sunday 22nd Nov in St Finbarre's Cathedral, Cork, @ 7pm (Choral Evensong)

All welcome to attend either event - and even if you can't, buy the book!!!

Regards,

P

Have you tried Julian's Dictionary of Hymnology? It's usually a reliable
source for originals.
