Dawn Mass at the Source of the Black Water

IRD Duhallow’s Dawn Mass saw the gathering of many members throughout the community at the Source of the Blackwater.

The 14th of March was a drizzly one, and the morning fog hadn’t yet lifted when the mass begun, but the spirits in the marquee were not at all deterred.

Father Tarrant, bracketed by the sunniest daffodils, said a wonderful mass as dawn rose outside the marquee, and music accompanied the service, thanks to the fantastic Laura Dunlea, Anne Marie Lehane, and Luke Lehane.

Following mass, the congregation enjoyed tea, coffee, and scones with the early morning birdsong as the perfect soundtrack.
