Members of Bandon parish gathered together on Good Friday evening in St Patricks church to re-enact through drama the passion of our Lord and how the events unfolded on that first Good Friday almost 2000 years ago. The drama was seen through the recollections of Mary mother of God and how she saw the crucifixion and remembered the people involved in the death of her son, Pontius Pilate, Peter the Apostle, Judas the Apostle, the crowds that shouted for his crucifixion and death. It is called "Through a Mothers eyes". 

Director of the drama was Sr Alphonsus of Presentation Sisters Bandon and it involved parishioners of all ages including members of st Patrick's parish assembly, students from St Brogan's College and Colaiste na Toirbithe as well as members of Gaggin Drama club, drummers from the local pipe band and singers who sing in the church on special occasions. The evening was enjoyed by all who attended most of whom left with the same question on their lips which character am I?! Peter, Judas, crowd or Pilate. The greatness about the drama was the chance for all these people to work in harmony together to recreate with respect and reverence The death of Jesus and for 45 mins the ever busy clergy of the parish Fr Myles and Fr David were able to sit back and watch the events unfold like every other person that entered the church Good Friday evening without being involved.
