Annual grave blessing to take place at rural Kilkenny cemetery
The Blessing of the Graves and open air Mass takes place this Friday at Kilbride Cemetery, near Callan, at 7.30pm.
The Cemetery Committee have all in place for what is the largest gathering of people annually in the parish.
The forecast is good and, in the past 42 years, the Cemetery Mass was only cancelled once due to inclement weather.
People are asked to lend a hand to a grave of a friend or neighbour, who has nobody belonging to them.
Free car parking is available in the field adjacent to the Cemetery on the Mullinahone Road.
