In 1902, the Bishop of Limerick, Dr Bunbury, urged each incumbent of the united dioceses of Limerick, Ardfert, and Aghadoe to consider holding a special service on June 26th, the day chosen for the Coronation. Dr Bunbury believed that the people would appreciate an opportunity to showcase their loyalty to the British Throne through such a service. In the event that the incumbents could not gather on Wednesday, they had the option to hold the service on Sunday, June 29th, making any necessary adjustments to the services based on the circumstances.
