Blessing of the Boats
The annual Blessing of the Boats will take place in Kilmore Quay on Sunday, 28th June.
The blessing will begin at 5.00pm on the west pier. This time has been chosen to allow the local angling fleet—many of whom will have been at sea during the day—to return and take part in this special tradition.
The Kilmore Community Choir will be in attendance, adding to the prayerful and uplifting atmosphere. Following prayers for the safety of all mariners, Fr Pat Mernagh will board a small boat and travel around the harbour to bless the vessels.
The Blessing of the Boats is a cherished tradition in our community. It offers a meaningful opportunity to gather in faith, pray for the safety of those at sea, and celebrate our strong maritime heritage. All are very welcome to attend.
You Don’t Have to Grieve Alone
Grief is one of the most human experiences we ever face. It can feel heavy, confusing, lonely, or overwhelming — but it is also completely normal. Every person grieves in their own way and in their own time. For many, general support, information, and a listening ear are enough to help them find their footing again. For others, more structured support can make a real difference.
No matter where you are on that journey, you are not expected to manage it alone. Support is available across Ireland, and taking the first step is often as simple as reaching out.
