At Church of the Holy Child · Thatch Road, Whitehall, Dublin 9, D09 E2R2
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
The Irish Kidney Association holds its 41st annual Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving at the Church of the Holy Child in Whitehall, a long running gathering that remembers organ donors, supports donor families, and gives thanks for transplants received. It suits donor families, transplant recipients, dialysis patients, those currently awaiting a transplant, healthcare staff involved in donation and transplant services, and anyone with a personal connection to organ donation in Ireland.
The organisers describe it as “a gentle, inclusive service to remember organ donors, support families and give thanks for the gift of life.” The programme runs to a service of around ninety minutes followed by an hour of refreshments, giving attendees time to talk afterwards rather than filing straight out. Free parking is available at the church, though organisers flag likely traffic congestion in the run up to the service between 11:45am and 12:45pm, so arriving early is worth it. The service has run annually for over four decades and draws attendees from across Dublin and beyond, not only the local parish.
