The Lantern Project Cork

Creativity is in abundance, freedom of expression & lots of personality bursting out from our ‘In Your Shoes’ art installation journey

We are loving how this is developing & becoming such a vibrant display.

Looking forward to our exhibition
Thanks to & for supporting our work

A very special handover of our Crochet Ladies gift of the ‘Tree Of Life’ to the Presentation Sisters as part of the 250 years celebration of Nano Nagle’s work.

Thanks to Sr Margaret, Sr Mary & to Sr Grace for receiving the gift on behalf of the Presentation Sisters.

‘We are Proud to present this Crochet Artwork Piece in Honour of The Presentation Sisters 250yr Celebration.

It has been thoughtfully created by The Crochet Ladies at The Lantern Project.
It is woven in the threads that bring the foundational roots of the Organisations Ethos into full bloom, impacting all those around them.

Each stitch represents care, dedication & appreciation for all the work that began with Nano Nagle & thankfully continues through the Presentation Sisters to this day.

We Honour & Celebrate you all
In kindness & with generosity’
From
All The Crochet Ladies Nano Nagle Place
