Annual Knockboy Mass on this Thursday.

The Annual Mass at Knockboy Graveyard will take place this Thursday evening at 7pm. All who wish to attend are welcome to do so. The Mass in Knockboy first took place in 1976 and was celebrated by Fr. Thomas O’Brien the then Parish Priest of Touraneena and The Nire assisted by the then Curate in the Parish, Fr. Sean Nugent and Fr. Farrell who travelled from Abbeyside to give the sermon on the night to those present. In the intervening years the Mass has been celebrated each year on September 8 or as close to the date as possible if the 8 fell over the weekend and in that time has only had to be transferred to the Church in Touraneena on a handful of occasions because of bad weather.
