A local bishop will take part in a fundraising walk for the Irish Chaplaincy in London.
The 18km journey from Mulranny to Newport in Co.Mayo along the Greenway is aimed at raising awareness of the plight of Irish emigrants in London.
Bishop of Achonry, Paul Dempsey, will be in attendance at the event on Saturday and he says it's important to remember those who were forced to leave Ireland both in the past and present.
