You are invited to take part in Kilkenny tradition that predates Christianity


More local notes inside this week's Kilkenny People!
Members of the South Kilkenny Historical Society will join locals and others on Sunday, July 14 for the annual climb of Tory Hill on Fraochan Sunday.
This ancient tradition predates Christianity and is associated with the ancient festival of Lughnasa.
John Dwyer, who has written extensively on Pilgrim Paths of Ireland, will give a talk on the summit of the hill on the traditions associated with Fraochan Sunday.
Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Niall Coll at 3.30pm. All are welcome.
