ANNIVERSARY SERVICE

11:30 AM Sunday, July 19, 2020

The rich history of Carlow United Church is celebrated each year around this time. 2019 marks the 144th Anniversary of Carlow United Church. For more details on this rich heritage, see the HISTORY page of this website.

This special service involves a Guest Speaker as well as Guest Musicians and Vocalist and is followed by a lunch and birthday cake in the hall. You don't want to miss this event.

In 2019, Carlow United Church celebrated 144 years of spreading Gods word in the community. Following are some pictures from that celebration.

Reverend Lynn Watson led an inspiring service and all were treated to the music of Carlow's former organist Fran Valois and special music by classical violinists CT Rowe and Liam Kelley.

What would any anniversary be without a cake?

Carlow / Mayo 2019 Senior of the Year award recipient Barb Bronson does the  honours by cutting the cake along side church Treasurer Eileen Reilly.
