New Rectory dedicated at Monea
The parishioners of Devenish and Boho have completed their new Rectory at
Monea.
The Bishop of Clogher, the Right Revd Dr Michael Jackson, recently dedicated
the two-storey building at a special service and ceremony of dedication.
The Rural Dean, the Revd Canon Stanley Bourke, officiated at the rectory
and conducted a Service in Devenish Parish Church afterwards. The Rector’s
Churchwarden, Mr Eric Whittaker, invited Bishop Jackson to dedicate the Rectory.
Following the dedication, two senior parishioners, Ms Caroline Britton and
Mr Albert Lucy cut the tape to mark the completion of the Rectory. Young
people, Emma Little and James McKee, presented them with gifts.
The contractor, Mr Eamon O’Neill, handed over the keys to the glebewardens,
Mr Eric Whittaker and Ms Eileen Little.
Following the service at which the Bishop preached, the congregation returned
to the Reade Hall for tea and speeches. Devenish parish secretary, Mr David
Scott, gave a short history of the project and gifts were presented by the
glebe wardens to the architect, Mr Chris Allen, and contractor, Mr Eamon
O‘Neill.
