The new entrance to St Francis' Paupers' Cemetery in Carrick-on-Suir
The annual Mass at St Francis' Paupers' Cemetery in Carrick-on-Suir will be celebrated (weather permitting) on Thursday, June 29 at 7pm.
Carrick-on-Suir Brass Band will perform at the ceremony. St John’s Terrace residents who passed away during the last year will be specially remembered on this occasion.
People attending the Mass can bring a seat to sit on during the ceremony.
The cemetery was used for burials from the town, surrounding parishes and the local workhouse and fever hospital during the second half of the 19th century and into the early 20th century. Men, women and children who were referred to at the time as paupers, are interred there.
No burial records exist due mainly to the fire that gutted the workhouse in 1922. In any event, most of the bodies interred there had no one to claim them at their death.
A collection will take place on the evening to help with the costs of maintaining the Cemetery over the next year. All are welcome.
All are welcome.
