ILFA Service of Prayer and Reflection
The ILFA Service of Prayer and Reflection will take place at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Whitefriar St, Aungier Street, Dublin 2 on Saturday 15th October at 4pm. We are delighted to return to an in-person event and look forward to welcoming our guests. Please let us know if you plan to join us so we can organise numbers for some light refreshments afterwards.
During the service, we will light candles for those patients whose names have been submitted to ILFA by family members. Please email info@ilfa.ie or call 086 871 5264 if you would like your loved one remembered.
The service will be live-streamed and available to watch via the church website www.whitefriarstreetchurch.ie, for those who cannot attend the church in person.
If you cannot attend, we encourage ILFA members to come together virtually as a community and light a candle in their home at 8pm on the evening of Saturday 15th October to support or remember loved ones affected by lung fibrosis. You can send your photos to info@ilfa.ie if you would like to share your images.
We hope you will join us in Dublin for this uplifting community event.
