are sacred ground, the burial places of our loved ones. Please do not dump withered flowers, old wreaths or rubbish in the corners of our cemeteries.

Following suggestions received in last year’s parish survey, the Parish Finance Committee invite plot holders in Athboy Cemetery who would like to help maintain plots adjacent to their own plot, where no family remain to look after the plot, to contact Fr Padraig and register their willingness to “adopt a plot” and keep it tidy.
