Kincora Committees
A large public meeting assembled in the Lecture Hall of Limerick’s Catholic Institute to organise a fête and fancy fair for the new church of St Joseph then rising within St Michael’s Parish. The gathering, reported on 4 January 1900, was promoted by the parish clergy and presided over by Bishop Edward Thomas O’Dwyer. Clergy, women and men attended in considerable numbers, demonstrating broad interest in completing the additional parochial church. The meeting agreed that the fundraising celebration would take place in June and established committees to undertake the detailed work required before the event could open.
