Welcome 2013 the year of the ‘Gathering’…
January 2013 and the sun is shining in the window. What a great start to a New Year here in Dublin. ‘Bring me sunshine, all the way…’ Yes folks it’s going to be a great year for all the folks from Cabra and that includes north, south, east and west Cabra. The 25th of October of this year will hopefully see the biggest gathering of Cabra people ever from home and abroad. Perhaps a little tour of the Cabra Convent could be arranged and a visit to the Nun’s graveyard as well. Maybe the Parish Priest will allow us to have a special Mass on that Sunday for all Cabrarians both past and present. And of course we’ll all take a stroll down that most famous of lanes in Cabra…Memory Lane. Also for the entire month of June there will be a special Photographic Exhibition of Cabra Photos in the Public Library situated at Cabra Cross. Never before seen photos of the Cabra Baths and interior of the old Tin Church will be on display. If you would like any particular family photo of yours included in the exhibition just email it to me at this site. Entrance to the exhibition is free, so don’t hesitate to call in if you’re in the area. Looking forward to a great year together…Martin Coffey
