The event, organised in association with Killeentierna Parish Church, takes place this Saturday, May 2, and will run throughout the day. Members of the community are encouraged to attend to tidy family graves and adjacent pathways in preparation for the cemetery mass on Wednesday, May 13, at 7.30 pm. This initiative follows the success of last year’s event, with organisers hoping for another strong turnout to help maintain the local grounds. Photo: Mairead O’Keeffe.
