Children attend special Masses

THE children of two fishermen lost at sea attended special Masses over the weekend in preparation for their Confirmations.

As searches continued for the bodies of Honeydew II skipper Ger Bohan and crewman Tomasz Jagla, Sally Jean Bohan, aged 11, and Wojtek Jagla, aged 12, stood side-by-side with their classmates during two preparation Masses at Kinsale’s St John the Baptist parish church — one on Saturday night and another at 10am yesterday.

Sally Jean, a sixth-class student at the town’s St Joseph’s NS, and Wojtek, a sixth-class pupil at St John’s NS, are due to be confirmed in the town on March 5.
