Muted celebrations
There was no public procession or national manifestation of any kind in Tuam on St. Patrick’s Day. Celebration of the day was confined to the Cathedral, where three Masses, as on Sunday, were read.
The last Mass was a Solemn High Mass at which Rev. Fr. Lynch, C.C., was celebrant; Fr. O’Reilly, deacon; Rev. Fr. Delaney, sub-deacon; and Rev. Fr. Kelly, masters of ceremonies.
Rev. M. King, Professor, St. Jarlath’s College, preached the sermon in Irish dealing with the outstanding events in the life of St. Patrick.
In the evening the Rosary was recited in Irish, and it was observed that the response by the congregation was much more marked than in past years and with a pronounced in interest in language.
Hymns were sung by the children of the Christian Brothers and Convent Schools.
