Church, shop attacks

In a recent attack on the parish church, offerings boxes were broken open, and offerings are temporarily being collected in baskets during masses and other events.



Also, some time after a person left an envelope in the foyer of the church last week, two others came and stole it.

Fr Murphy PP appealed to the person who left the envelope to get in touch with the priests, as they have no idea what was in it.

Meanwhile, in yet another crime incident in Kilcullen the proprietor of Jackman's Gala Store on Hillcrest had to fight off screwdriver-wielding would-be robbers.

Kilcullen people have been victims of a number of robberies in recent months, many of the incidents taking place in homes during daylight hours.
