Place & story

A decorated church in September 2011

Tullaghmeelan’s harvest thanksgiving took place on 11 September 2011, with Elaine Murray, then Bishop’s Vicar and curate of Kilkenny, preaching. The parish report thanked those who had decorated the church and worked in the churchyard. Afterwards, refreshments were served at Newcastle Community Hall. The report identified that gathering as the parish’s first function in the hall, connecting the church occasion with a new community venue beyond Ballybeg. [2]
