ALTINURE CEMETERY – We have seen a transformation of the cemetery in the past few weeks. We will always be indebted to the generous work and assistance of Paddy Mullan, Thomas McReynolds, Thomas Hasson and James Forrester – all under the expert guidance of Oliver Brolly. The true test of any community is the test of mutual respect. Respect for the dead is at the root of our faith. The work in the Cemetery is a sure testimony to that faith as it will be surely appreciated by generations yet unborn in our Parish.
