Crowds converge on Sunday’s Well for Mass day

FAVOURABLE weather added to the convening of a large attendance at the annual Sunday’s Well day close to Banteer.

Parish Priest Fr. William Winter celebrated Mass supported by Banteer Choir at an elevated and picturesque setting over the river Lacklown. The Sunday’s Well landmark is the location of a religious history of Banteer parish going back hundreds of years, with a Mass Rock in close proximity.

The tranquil well remains a place to be visited for locals and, thanks to the support of a restoration group, land owner John Joe McSweeney, IRD Duhallow, Banteer Macra and others, it has allowed public devotion to take place over recent years.
