The Annual Procession celebrating the feast of the Assumption will take place from the Citeaux Hall, Ballyskenach (E53 AE02) gathering on August 15th at 6:45pm to follow the 600-metre procession route towards Our Lady’s Grotto in Clybenane.

At the grotto there will be prayers, gospel readings and prayers of the faithful.

This will mark the first procession to the Grotto in recent times and marking the 50th anniversary of the resumption of the procession in 1975, after extensive clearance work.
