Huge happy birthday to Mary Durkan on the unique and momentous occasion of her 100th birthday.  Mary is originally from Swinford but spent much of her life working in England.  She worked with Fortnum and Mason amongst other employers and they send her a card & gift to mark the occasion.  Mary was delighted to receive her honorary letter and gift from the President now that she has joined the very special centenarian club.

Mary had a wonderful day of celebrations in St. Attracta’s Residence which commenced with mass celebrated by Fr. Tommy Johnson from Charlestown.  Sincere thank for Fr. Tommy for such a lovely mass.  A number of staff participated in the mass adding to the occasion.  Mass was followed by a beautiful lunch which was followed by music and dancing.  Music was provided by Nuala and was massively enjoyed by all present with lots of dancing, fun and a few drinks to wash down the lovely birthday cake.

Huge congratulations to Mary from all her friends in St. Attracta’s Residence
