PICTURES OF HOME II


This is the Calvary erected by some benefactors in memory of Albert and Dominic two Capuchin priests who were sent to America to work in California and so avoid imprisonment by the British. They were too enthusiastic in their support of the Republican cause in Ireland (a Capuchin failing). They died in the States and their bodies returned for burial in the 50's. There's a memorial stone in Irish beside the Calvary.

PICTURES OF HOME I


This is where I live. Actually it's the Church, dedicated to the Immaculate Heart Of Blessed Mary Ever-Virgin, with part of the friary behind it. Beyond it is Howth an ancient Viking settlement. The building is quite grey on the outside but much better on the inside. As soon as I get a chance I'll photo the inside in daylight so you can see. It's very much a place for quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
