A service, as part of 16 days activism against gender based violence, will be held in St Catherine’s church in Tullamore. It will take place on Saturday 24th November, at 11am.

The service is being organised by the Mothers Union, in the dioceses of Meath and Kildare.

The event is a prayer vigil for victims of gender based violence and all victims of violence. Offaly Domestic Violence Support Services will give a presentation about their work and we will hear stories from the Travelling Community and The Syrian Community which have recently been resettled in Tullamore.
