It’s the first Sunday of Advent, and the annual Mass in memory of Fr Michael Griffin will be celebrated tomorrow at 12pm.

The curate for this parish (the boundaries were a lot wider then) was lured out on a bogus sick-call and then murdered by Crown forces in November 1920.

His remains were found in a field in Bearna - in Clochscoilte, where the monument now stands. A wreath will be laid there after Mass tomorrow.
