St. Peter’s Church in Lurgan, Co. Armagh has announced the end of its parish’s tradition to walk from the church to St Colman’s Graveyard after a funeral. The walks were impacting priests’ schedules. Parish Priest Father Colum Murphy said that changes were necessary, given the increasing workload and pressure that the priests are under.
Joining Kieran to discuss this is Dave McGowan, CEO of McGowan’s Funeral Home and Father Iggy O’Donovan.
