This woman was determined …is that any surprise to any of us?
Jane Maas, advertising legend from New York, author of Mad Women and the creator of the famous “I Love New York” campaign announced over dinner on Friday evening that on Sunday she wanted to go to mass and preferably one with a good choir!
We had spent a few days with this very special lady, who at the age of 82 would teach us all so much with her energy and determination.
She stole the show at the Network event in Cork for International Women’s Day enchanting the audience with her tales from an incredible career and how she sparkled in an industry, which was dominated by men.
It’s easy to see how she has had such a terrific career – every time myself and Deirdre had a work conversation while we were in her company she sprang into life with interest, words of wisdom and encouragement.
So …our dilemma – a church with a choir on Sunday in Cork?
I called my mother first and she wasn’t sure – the choir in her church weren’t up to much she reckoned!
I wasn’t feeling very optimistic but I decided to put the question out on twitter ..
To my huge surprise within minutes I found myself back and forth on twitter with Saint Fin Barres Cathedral – not only was there mass at 11:15 on Sunday but they sent me a link to their website with information about the choir!
There we were, on a wet and miserable Sunday morning with our special American friend being greeted warmly by the priest and we were treated with a really lovely service and a fabulous choir at Saint Fin Barres Cathedral ..how did I end up here – its a miracle !
Jane ..you are some woman
Twitter ..you are some resource
Saint Fin barres ..you are on the ball!!
