GRAVEYARD MASS

Many thanks to all who attended the Annual Dromid Graveyard Mass on the evening of Friday 28th July. Although the week’s weather was not the best we were once again blessed to have the evening lovely and fine with a slight breeze to keep away the midges!

The very thoughtful and meaningful Mass was concelebrated by our P.P. Fr Gerard Finucane and our own Fr P. Sugrue. They were ably assisted by Kathleen O’Sullivan and her daughter, Julie who added a lovely accompaniment with their beautiful singing and playing of various hymns.

A huge thank you to all who assisted in the clean up of the graveyard and the setting up and removal of seating and the Altar shelter and who helped in any way. Míle Buíochas gach éinne.

The Annual St Finan’s Graveyard Mass will be held in the graveyard on Friday 11th August @ 8.00p.m.
