Mooncoin: (New Cemetery) Saturday, June 11, at 6.30pm. (Old Cemetery) Friday, June 24, at 7.30pm.

Cemetaries are Holy and Sacred places where our loved ones are buried. Over the past month it has come to my attention that some graves and headstones are interfered with. I appeal to all adults and children, not to touch or place anything on another person’s grave and take due care when working around your own graves.
