Community shares in families’ pain
Speaking at Sunday Mass in a packed church in Killea, Dunmore East, Fr Power said: “We are all affected by this awful tragedy. The scale of it has shocked and numbed us.”
As the search continued for the bodies of the five men lost at sea, their friends and neighbours heard their parish priest refer to one “beacon of light” amid this tragedy. “The way the whole community has been so supportive of the families in their distress,” he said.
