Clonagam Mass - August 2014
Mass was celebrated once more at Clonagam cemetery
yesterday, August 6th, 2014.
This was the third such celebration during the past four years
and, once again, good weather prevailed.
A gentleman from the Mothel area, who found the number present last year
to be ninety-eight (98)
said there was exactly double that number present this time.
A truly ecumenical occasion again this year
with Church of Ireland members attending and participating.
