Cemetery Sunday
Mass in Rahoon Cemetery went ahead this Sunday. Fr Malachy consulted with the
weather experts, and happily the rain stopped for the right period of the
afternoon, and only started again towards the end of the Mass. There was a
large congregation present in the cemetery, praying for loved ones buried
there. Celebrant for the Mass was Bishop Martin Drennan and the concelebrants
were Fr Malachy Hallinan, Fr Martin Downey, PP, St Joseph’s Parish and Fr Hugh
Clifford. We extend thanks to all from both the City Council and from Sacred
Heart Parish here who assisted in the preparations for and at the Mass.
