Parish prays for forgiveness of graveyard vandals

Rather than condemnation, parishoners prayed for vandals who toppled gravestones in a graveyard.

Relatives were left stunned when a number of headstones at St Paul’s Churchyard in Ray, Falcarragh, Co Donegal, were damaged in the early hours of Saturday.

An investigation was launched into the incident and gardaí arrested a number of young men who are expected to appear before a future sitting of the courts.
