Holycross-Ballycahill
Solemn Novena - Huge numbers were in attendance at the final sessions last Sunday of the Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. On the opening two days there were big numbers but from there on bigger they were getting.
The news that it was in progress had spread out, thousands more came to intercede with a petition to Our Lady, others came in thanksgiving. A most successful Novena is acclaimed with many in hope of participating in the 2013 Novena, you could hear them say as they bade each other adieu on the final night. Meet you here next year p.g.

We are very pleased with the results, we are progressing in the right way. The adjudicators final remark (under the heading General Impression) was “I must compliment you for the way you are maintaining this lovely village in such great condition in a consistent manner over the years. It was a treat to stop and spend some time here to enjoy the surroundings. I could see the “footprints” of an imaginative and enthusiastic people all over the village, well done.
