Parish exhibition opened

There was a good response to the first phase of an exhibition of Kilcullen's parish history, which was recently put on view in the Parish Centre.



The exhibition is part of the run up to a Chroinniu Chriost parish gathering planned for 25 May, and consists of photographs, newspaper clippings, a video made from local filming from the 50s, and artifacts such as Holy Communion medals.

The oldest item so far goes back to 1777, and is an extract from the Baptismal Record of the church of the time.

Organiser John Martin said it was envisaged that the launching of the exhibition will prompt other parishioners to lend mementoes of their own.

(Full story later this week in the Kildare Nationalist.)
