Friday evening an open air Mass was held in Clonmacnois on the feast of The Sacred Heart to enroll about twenty of our youth in the Pioneer movement where they pledged to abstain from drink and drugs until they are eighteen.There was some light rain and it was remarkable to see about 120 people making use of the Mass shelter.On a finer evening half them would have been scattered around the cemetery.
Saturday night someone came looking for six WKD a wicked blue coloured drink.Later I went to the store to top up the shelf and found the cardboard carton with about ten bottles of WKD.As I tried to move the carton a bird flew out and perched about ten feet away.So the carton was replaced and the birds left in peace.
Wondered yesterday if the mother had returned and brough a potato to place alongside the nest.Again the bird flew out so I am assuming that all is well.
