Mass was celebrated in Doorus Cemetery on 26th July 2024, offered for those buried in the cemetery. The weather was in the balance but it was still possible to go ahead with Mass in the cemetery.

Thanks to Thomas Kavanagh and the Cemetery Committee for the practical preparations for the Mass and for their dedication to the upkeep of the cemetery all year round. Thanks also to the sacristy team, the Altar Servers, and to the Parish Choir for your dedication. Thanks to Mary O’Donnell for photos.

For those buried in Doorus Cemetery: May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Many people went over to Drumacoo Cemetery then after the Mass for the blessing of the graves.

Compliments to the Drumacoo Cemetery committee for their care for the cemetery all year round, and for keeping it so beautifully.

• Update:
  Unfortunately, the weather forecasts are predicting rain at various stages of the evening, so the Mass will now be moved to Ballinderreen Church instead. It will start at 7.10pm, rather than 7, to allow anybody who had gone to the cemetery, to get over to the Church.
  Fr Hugh will still go to the cemetery for the blessing of the graves after the Mass, so those who don’t mind the rain and would like to be at your family grave for the blessing are welcome to go over to Drumacoo after the Mass. (Friday 19th July 2024)

Mass will be celebrated in Drumacoo Cemetery, Ballinderreen Parish, this Friday 19th July 2024 at 7pm. The Mass will be offered for those buried in Drumacoo Cemetery, and, because there are various other older burial grounds in Ballinderreen Parish, the Mass will be offered for those buried in those places also. All will be welcome. Sincere thanks to those making the preparations for the Mass.

The Drumacoo Cemetery Committee will hold a collection after the Mass to support the ongoing work of upkeeping the cemetery, because materials have to be purchased, lawnmowers fuelled, machinery serviced, etc.

If the weather is inclement, the Mass would move to Ballinderreen Church, and an announcement would be made beforehand on the parish Facebook page.

Mass was celebrated in Mount Cross Cemetery, Kinvara on 12th July 2024, and was offered for those buried in the cemetery, as well as those buried in other burial grounds around Kinvara Parish, and the blessing of the graves took places afterwards.  Thanks you to all who helped in the preparations for the Mass, the parish choir, and especially the Mount Cross Cemetery Committee who set up for the Mass and who voluntarily look after the cemetery with such great care all year round. Thank you to Mary Hynes for the photos.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
