Mary met a lady from Berlin, New Jersey in the church last evening who told her that she knew John the brother. It appears that she is doing a retreat in Ard Chiarain for a few days. Mary was looking over a parish book about her native parish Killoughey by a Father Shaw last night and one of the interesting things she found was the account of the beheading of one of the priests there.
Vincent and Olive and Megan Costello are returning to Spain this year for their holidays and Vincent is bringing his golf clubs like before.
