The Church of Ireland
Press Release

Preaching at the service of re-dedication and reopening of St Peter's Parish Church in Drogheda the Archbishop of Armagh, Dr Eames, paid a warm tribute to the support the Church of Ireland in the town had received from the whole community.

The Church was extensively damaged by fire two years ago and the Appeal Fund which was launched has received overwhelming support.

Dr Eames said:

"The quality of the support we have received from all traditions speaks so clearly of the very best relations in this community.  It is an example of the understanding and mutual support Ireland is capable of - and an example to the whole island of what is possible when we have mutual respect and care for each other.  If that degree of respect and care could be exhibited in all parts of our island home what a difference it would make."
