Due to the restrictions on public gatherings we would ask that rather
than arriving at the church, we would encourage you to shine a light
to show your respect along the route of the funeral cortege. The
funeral will be leaving Reilly's Funeral Home, Prosperous on Wednesday
morning at 8.30am to arrive at Christ the King Church, Cooleragh, via
Staplestown at 9am. After the funeral mass at 12 noon, the funeral
cortege will be passing through Coill Dubh village, up to Brockagh
Cross, through Prosperous Village, into Sallins (pausing at the
entrance to the church), taking a left at Monread roundabout and
making its way to Newlands Cross Crematorium.
Alternatively we would ask that people light a candle and say a prayer
at 12 noon on Wednesday in memory of Fr. Jimmy.
