‘A Weekend in July’, the photographic collection of St Michael’s Villas 70th anniversary celebrations was held last weekend.

Maria Assumpta Hall hosted the launch of the book that tells the story of St. Michael’s Villas weekend of celebrations in July this year. It was launched by proud St. Michael’s man, Fr. Tom Ryan, now the parish priest in Ennis.

Formed specifically for the celebations in July, the SMV70 Community Choir stretched their vocal chords once more and performed for the launch.

St Michael’s Villas native, Cora Hahessy McNulty compiled the book which contains over 620 photos from that July weekend.

It is now for sale at €20 in Ryan’s Centra, St. Michael’s Villas, Ennis Book Shop, Abbey St., O’Connor’s Newsagent, the Market and Ennis Parish Office or by contacting Cora on coramcnulty@gmail.com. SMV70 choir will perform this Friday evening from 7pm to 8pm in Dunnes Mall in aid of the Alzheimers Society.
