Almost 100 visitors enjoyed a cup of milky tea and buttered toast on Lough Derg, a rare event but one which has happened for the last three years on the Island. This unique 'coffee morning' invites people to enjoy the Island, without the hardship of the pilgrimage whilst raising money for the Lough Derg Building Fund. Throughout the country over seventy other venues were hosting a Tea and Toast morning today in aid of Lough Derg.
