| Summary: | Open air Masses have been a historic feature in the Wicklow Hills, where Mass Rocks abound. But Pidge's Mass, as it is affectionately known, meets a need to remember emigrants alive or dead. With the co-operation of local clergy, Pidge's Memorial Mass became a reality ten years ago. It linked the dioceses of Dublin,, Ferns, Kildare and Leighlin. Pidge's haggard was the venue and afterwards, chat and refreshments continued late into the night, round the hay bales or round the fire. Now each July, hundreds more continue to make the long trek, praying to God for those who have gone or thanking God for those who are left to keep the spark of life for an ever decling local community. |
