This
committee formed in 1990 and organise a general clean up of the
graveyard each summer. In 1992 a Cross was erected opposite the
main gate. They have also put in new cement paths between
rows of graves and got the main paths tarmacademed. The outside
walls have also been plastered.
They
organise a Mass in August and Rosary in November in Ballycastle
and Kilbride graveyards. They also organise Mass on Downpatrick
Head on Garland Sunday (the last Sunday in July).
A permanent altar has been put in place with a hut around
it for the Mass and Rosary each year. The altar
was donated by Ginty Stone, Ballina.
They
hold an annual church gate collection for the upkeep of the graveyard.
Any donations will be gratefully accepted. If you wish
to make a donation, you can do so by contacting any of the committee
members.
