THE day and residential services of St John Gods celebrated their Christmas party at the Ballygarry hotel on Thursday night where they were joined by two Kerry legends, Mikey Sheehy and Marc O’Se, plus the Sam Maguire Cup.

“They’ve been all excited all day doing hair and make up getting ready for tonight’s party,” said Brenda McNamara of St John of God’s.

“It’s their annual Christmas event, we have about 20 volunteers here as well tonight, they’re part of the walking group that come into the centre as well. All the different services are here, from Castleisland, Kenmare, Killorglin,  Killarney and Tralee,” said Brenda.

“This year six of our service users had graduation with the IT Tralee in October, we’ve also had Fetac graduations where 60 of the service users received certification” said Brenda.
