“sup?

At around 11pm on Thursday reports began to circulate of a peculiar image which appeared on the front of a house in the Riverview Estate in Kilmallock.

Within an hour, up to 50 people had gathered outside the two-storey home – some travelling from as far away as Mitchelstown – to say prayers and light candles, at what locals believe is an image of Our Lady.

During the commotion, residents called to the house of a local priest at around 11pm asking him to attend the scene.

“At that stage there were up to 40 people gathered. A number of cars and vans had parked up. People were saying the Rosary and holding candles. The priest joined in,” said one local.

      yet utterly predictable a few days after the pope said he’d swing by to put the kaibosh on the repeal referendum.

        Try explaining that to these big brained Murphy’s. You’d have more chance of getting a b.j. from the Pope.

      After that, she manifested herself in the sun in Knock, and damaged all those Travellers’ corneas.

    Aren’t people very gullible all the same. Why didn’t “our lady” appear to stop the Catholic Church running magdalene laundries and mother & baby homes?

    When I lived in the south US many moons ago I did a bit of work with a painter decorator. With any overtly Christian clients he would paint face of christ on the walls before applying the over coating of paint, get paid and leave before it dried. Just for the messing like. Rumours abounded apparently.

    Ah here, if you’re going to photoshop stuff onto buildings at least learn how to use the skew tool.
