In Mallow
A benefit of producing a book is that it has got me out and about and reconnection with family, old friends and new. I met Eileen Vaughan in Mallow, a lovely lady who will recognise a few faces in Moments of Reflection.
I visited the Church of the Resurrection, which is the newer of Mallow’s parish churches.
This church was designed by J.R. Boyd Barrett and completed by the Cork building firm of Daniel Hegarty in 1969. It cost €150,000. It has had a few upgrades since but its original design is remarkably innovative and practical.
The lady who gave the diocese the site is commemorated in a simple plaque.
The church is very big. It has a capacity of 1,000. It is build in a fan shape, with no side aisles so that everyone in the congregation has a clear view of the altar.
I couldn’t find any account online of where the stained glass was sourced but the theme seemed to me to be resurrection with depictions of the risen Christ appearing to various cohorts of disciples.
