A pilgrim walk in Hollywood

We set off at 7am from Hollywood. First to St.  Kevin well to gather our thoughts and prayers with our parish priest Father Prenderville .Jonas is on the left in the photo above we had made it up the hollywood hill...It is steep.

This is me walking with a friend Ita.  We were encouraged to pick up stones to carry as intentions. Jonas carried a stone for granny and grandad and I carried 2 for ill friends. When we made it to the mass rock we put our stones at the foot of the mass rock for our intentions to be offered up at mass.

Bishop Eamonn Walsch said mass. There was singing. I would say there was 50 or 60 people there.  Maybe 35 of us did the two hour full hike from hollywood. It was a great experience very social and full of community togetherness. It was interesting talking to people along the way. The valley was magical and sunny that morning.

My little children at the weekend. Thorben and jonas below.
