On Sunday March 21st Legendary RTE broadcaster and Documentary maker Donacada O Dualing is leading a walk from Slane to Monasterboice.
This walk is part of the Irish Wheelchair Association’s 50th birthday celebrations and is part of their Journey to Rome retracing the route taken by the Irish earls during the Flight of the Earls.
It is unlikely that any other group has done this before.
The Irish leg of the journey was the 168 mile journey from Slane to Rathmullan in Donegal where they embarked to sail to the Continent.
A Latin Mass will be celebrated in St.Patrick's Church, Slane, on Sunday 15th August 2010 at 2pm.
The celebrant will be Rev. Father David Jones O.Praem, and he will be joined by the Navan Latin Chant Choir.
August 15th is the day that Catholics have long celebrated what is called the Dormition (falling asleep) or Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
The Feast of the Assumption celebrates both the happy departure of Mary from this life by her natural death, and her assumption bodily into heaven.
All welcome.
