The Children of Mary at Dodsboro

Children of Mary

L to R in front row - Sadie Conway, Mary Jo Mc Govern, Fr Gilmore, unknown, Una Mc Cullagh is at the end of the front row with Lena Thornberry and Vena Pocknell behind her.

The Children of Mary were a sodality group in St. Mary’s Parish well into the 1960s. At processions and other parish occasions, they wore blue capes and white veils. The picture above was most likely taken at the blessing of the new houses – bunting can be seen on the building in the background.
