A decade of great effort and reward

A DECADE has passed since Friends of St. Raphael’s Centre in Youghal was founded.

By any yardstick it is a story of extraordinary dedication and today the quality of life for St. Raphael’s 160 residents and 40 community members reflects this great effort.

In that time the Friends have raised over 100,000. Under the chairmanship of John Roche, together with his brother and councillor Gene who is secretary, treasurer John O’Donnell, and an active committee their endeavours have brought about a multiplicity of improvements at the centre.
