Christ the King Park Dedicated  


 

Braving wind and rain over 200 people gathered at the new Christ the King Park in Ballymullen on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 26th), for the dedication of the new park and statue by Monsignor Dan O’Riordan, Dean of Kerry. Msgr. O’Riordan who was joined by the Mayor of Tralee. Cllr. Norma Foley and Tralee Town Manager Michael McMahon, thanked all those who had contributed in any way to making the park a reality. The statue of Christ the King, which is the centrepiece of the new development, had formerly stood in the Presentation Convent in Milltown. The landscaped park has been laid out by Tralee Town Council’s Environmental Section and the site works for the statue and plinth were funded by anonymous donors all of whom Mayor Foley thanked in a short address. The Dean offered prayers for all those associated with the project and for the residents of the Ballymullen area.
