Whether seen by the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, this beautiful monument reminds us that the light of God shines brightest through us. This marvellous project was never planned, it just happened as if it was by God's will.placeholder image

Angelic Landmark to light Limerick’s night sky

“Angelic Landmark to light Limerick’s night sky”

A golden monument depicting Archangel Michael will soon illuminate Limerick’s night sky. The story began last August when a thunderstorm damaged the roof of St. Michael’s Church in Limerick’s Market Quarter.

Fr. Leo made the decision to undertake costly repairs to both the roof and statue. Richard, having been raised in St. Michael’s parish and his family baptised there, carried out the works with care and devotion. 

Litho Circuits Ltd. was contacted to see to the illumination of the restored monument.

Director Frank Keohane of Litho Circuits was honoured to be involved with such a project. Frank had been experiencing health issues at the time and asked Fr. Leo to pray he would receive good news from the doctor. The congregation prayed Frank would be under Michael’s protection and thankfully he made a full recovery.

Fr. Leo McDonnell praised the project as a shining example of community spirit and mentioned the great work of St. John’s Cathedral secretary Cora Willis and Bernard O'Reilly of Limerick Civic Trust.
