Further to an earlier post of a poem by Kevin Higgins.

Inspired by the Glenamaddy pastoral council in Galway providing a drive-thru service for Ash Wednesday.

The Farmers Journal writes:

The service ran from 8am to 9.30am for those commuting to work or bringing children to school. One of the people behind the initiative, Fr Paddy Mooney said the inaugural year of the Ash Wednesday drive-through was well attended.

“There was a big crowd around – we couldn’t get over it,” he told the Irish Farmers Journal. “We had everything from bikes to tractors. It was a busy day, and a fine day for it.
