The friend’s of the Tyburn Nuns informed them of the Dumfries cemetery’s need for restoration. This is where the sisters who lived and died there between 1884 and 1988 were buried when the community moved to Largs. This was transformed into a dignified site. The parish priest of the Dumfries Church, St Andrews organised a commemoration ceremony and Holy Mass with special readings, which was attended by many.
The former chaplain, Fr. Gabriel Kigozi passed away and news was received by the sisters on 12th April.
The Bishop, John Cunningham celebrated his 50th anniversary of priestly ordination. All-night Thursday Adoration for a year was offered for priestly vocations in the diocese.
