Words from Bishiop Liam MacDaid
‘ Sunday, 7 August, was a wonderful day of celebration
for the Catholic Community of Carrickmacross as they
celebrated 150 years of life in St. Joseph’s Church. If you
wish to prolong the good feeling, and you don’t want the
celebration to end, then don’t miss the DVD to be shown
on Sunday, 25 September. It is a must for the people of
Carrickmacross.’
