Sea Sunday : Mission to Seafarers.
The annual ecumenical Sea Sunday Service, will take place in Kinsale on 16th May 2010 this year, to commemorate all those lost at sea. Following a service in the medieval splendour of St. Multose’s parish church, prayers are generally read and a ceremony held at the Seaman's Memorial on Pier Road. Usually followed by the Blessing of the Boats at the pier head. The Irish Navy, Irish Army and Royal Navy, often including members of the 771 Squadron from Culdrose, Cornwall are normally in attendance.
The purpose of Sea Sunday is to commemorate those who have died at sea, to pray for the safety of those who work at sea, who use the sea for recreation and who respond to marine emergencies.
With Kinsale's long tradition with the Sea, this is always an important day for the town and it's inhabitants, past and present
