Winnie Bergin

It is with great sadness that we were advised of the passing of our Life Member, Winnie Bergin. On behalf of the Christchurch Irish Society, we extend our condolences to her Family on her passing. A Requiem Mass for Winnie will be Celebrated at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Thursday, April 4, at 11.30am, 70 Spencer Street, Addington, Christchurch.

"May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand."

We are asking for your Support in helping us make this Sunday's Tea for Tadhg a grand event

We ask all members to come down and join us for a cuppa this Sunday, as we aim to raise funds to help support Laura & Greg on their journey of recovery and rehabilitation for Tadhg.

This incident has put significant financial strain on Laura & Greg, having to pay for additional accommodation in Auckland, airfares to and from Auckland, along with other associated expenses, let alone being off work for Laura since September last year. All funds raised are going directly to assist them with care needs for Tadhg.
