Walking tour to mark Monsignor O’Flaherty’s Killarney legacy
A special walking tour highlighting Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty’s connection to Killarney will take place on Bank Holiday Monday, August 4.
The event will start at 2.30pm from St Mary’s Cathedral Car Park and is organised by the Monsignor O’Flaherty Committee in conjunction with the Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society. The tour is part of the ongoing centenary celebrations marking 100 years since Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty’s ordination in 1925.
The tour will visit key locations linked to the Monsignor, including the monument on Mission Road and the mural at the top of High Street. Both commemorate his work during World War II, when he saved the lives of over 6,500 people by organising safe houses and escape routes in Nazi-occupied Rome.
The tour will also pay tribute to Killarney native Janie McCarthy, originally from New Street, who played a key role in five escape lines in Paris during the war.
