BOOLAVOGUE
ANNUAL PATRON
The annual patron in St Cormac’s cemetery, which had been postponed, has been rescheduled for Sunday next, July 12, at 2 p.m. Mass will be celebrated in the graveyard, weather permitting, and everyone attending is reminded of their responsibility for social distancing. As there is only one entry/exit into the cemetery, Fr White will be arranging for stewards to help control the flow in and out on the day. Naturally, given the circumstances, there will be no field day held after the patron.
