- The Carols have been sung in Kilmore parish church since the 17th century. They were composed by Father Peter Devereux parish priest of Kilmore, and ever since there is a tradition that a Peter Devereux mus be one of the singers.There are Carols for Christmas Day, The Epiphany, and New Year's Day.
Some verses of the Carols:-Christmas DayThe darkest midnight in December
No snow nor hail nor winter storm
Shall hinder us for to remember
The babe that on this night was born
With Shepherds we are come to see
This lovely infant's glorious charm
Born of a maid as the prophet said
The God of love in Mary's arm.(continues on next page)- Informant
