Coronavirus: 'Special occasion' as Galway parish host 'drive-thru Mass' for Mother's Day

One of those who attended the drive-in Mass on Sunday was Supermac’s founder, Pat McDonagh

A Co Galway priest thinks his parishioners may have discovered a novel way to attend religious ceremonies while obeying the rules of social distancing — a drive-in Mass.

The Parish of Kiltullagh and Killimordaly in East Galway held what is believed to be Ireland’s first drive-in Mass last Sunday to celebrate Mother’s Day and parish priest Fr Martin McNamara says he is staggered by the number of parishioners that attended.
