Friars to hold vigil outside Thomond Park

THE Franciscan Friars of the Renewal based in Moyross yesterday said they may hold a prayer vigil outside Thomond Park on Good Friday to mark their disapproval of the Munster v Leinster match going ahead on that day.

The monks have already suggested Catholics attending the game on Good Friday were compromising their faith.

Br Shawn O’Connor said they will have a message for those attending: “Turn to Jesus Christ and remember what this day is about; remember what He did for you and that’s where you are going to find your peace and fulfilment.”
