Thought for the Week:
Old Customs in days gone by – when a person was about to emigrate to America, there would be a big celebration of music, song, dance & drink which would often go on for a week and it was known as the American Wake. Alot of those that emigrated in those days never returned to this country.
Cemeteries:
With the three graveyards looking immaculate for the Annual Graveyard Masses (which took place last week), a few committee members tell me their long term plan is to tarmacadam the car park in the Old Cemetery in Knockanure, and the construction of permanent Altars in each of the three cemeteries. The Knockanure/ Moyvane Cemetery Committee wish to express their sincere thanks and gratitude to all who contributed so generously at the Graveyard Masses.
