Hello People of Merasheen!

We want to honor your legacy and thank you for giving us life, roots, faith and pride of place. Fr. William Hann would like to get a papal blessing done for our ancestors. If anyone would like to get one for their parent please email him at fatherwilliam@shaw.ca. The cost is $45 for each blessing. The day will include games, ring toss, mass at 4pm followed by pot luck and an evening of song and no doubt dance.
