  1. The Killargue Mission

    Share Share Post
    Attend ye Roman Catholics
    This year of eighty-eight.
    This holy mission opens
    You'll ever mind the date
    By good Father Cornelius
    Who'll advise you true and kind
    An orator a scholar
    With the great and gifted mind
    Besides the gentle Father McGrath
    The kindest man you see
    And then you have along with him
    That saintlike Father McGee
    Also good Father Cooney
    The curate of our flock
    Not speaking of our parish priest
    The pillar of the rock
    The mission opened magnificent
    God's praises rent the air.
    The priests and people all came in
    Round by Dromahair
    Those Missioners are here every day
    To hear your confessions
    And join you in prayer
