A much loved priest who served many Kerry parishes is to be remembered in a special Mass next week.

Fr Kevin McNamara was the serving Parish Priest in Glenflesk when he passed away suddenly last December.

Locals are keen to remember him at a memorial Mass in thanksgiving which will be held on Wednesday next (June 29) in St Agatha’s Church, Glenflesk at 7.30pm.

All are welcome and there will be refreshments afterwards in Glenflesk GAA Hall.

"The parish was shocked and deeply saddened with the news of the death of our Parish Priest and President of Glenflesk GAA," Seamus Healy from Glenflesk GAA told the Killarney Advertiser.

"Fr Kevin McNamara came to our parish in July and in those few short months we came to see his diligence as a worker who sought to dedicate his time and energy towards helping the local community. The future was going to be bright with his plans for upgrading our churches, yet we can only presume God had bigger plans for Fr Kevin. May his soul rest in peace."
