At this evening’s event in Dalkey Church at 7.30pm we will have Fr Willie’s boyhood shirt on display. This is the first time this rare and precious item, made for him by his big sister, has been displayed in public. 

If you are in the area, come along to this special event tonight on the Feast of All the Irish saints, and commemorate Fr Willie in his native parish where he was born and baptised 150 years ago this year.
