Casey, Fr. Hehir and Fr. Driscoll, also present was designer and architect, Gerry Condon who oversaw the project.
In his remarks, Fr. Casey acknowledged the input of Gerry and the devotion of volunteers whose rota system ensures a 24 hour vigil is maintained at the adoration chapel. Mairead Scannell also praised the chapel's thoughtful design, before going on to appeal for more adoration volunteers.
Following the ceremony, parishioners were invited to view the revamped chapel which will have additional furniture added in the coming weeks.
