HUNDREDS SIGN PETITION TO KEEP CATHOLIC HOSPITAL CHAPEL

HUNDREDS of Mass-goers have signed a petition to retain the Catholic Chapel at Letterkenny hospital amid claims it is to be closed down.

People attending weekend Masses at St Eunan’s Cathedral and the Church of the Irish Martyrs signed the petition.

There are claims the chapel will be closed and a new ecumenical prayer room introduced instead.

Meanwhile representatives of all Christian communities attended an ecumenical prayer service last night at the Church of Ireland Conwal Parish Church.

The service was part of Christian Unity Week.
