Laois Parish Priest Fr David Vard has led 10 brave parishioners including a former Laois Rose and a Garda in an exhilarating 10,000 ft parachute jump, raising some €20,000 for their churches. The Reach for the Skies fundraiser will pay for new sound systems in Stradbally, Vicarstown and Timahoe and donations can still be taken.
The tandem jumps took place in Clonbullogue with the Irish Parachute Club, on Sunday, October 6. Photos courtesy of Ross Molloy, Dean Maher, Anne Marie Bowe. Tap NEXT or arrows to view them.
