September 8th Mass was celebrated on the island. The celebrant was Fr Greg Smyth from Butte, Montana who is a friend of Fr Sarsfield whose father lived on the island in the early years of the last century.

A flotilla of boats brought 200 people from the mainland to celebrate the mass

Amongst the ruins of the old buildings with the coast of the mainland across the sea

Look at the size of that lintel, imagine how it was lifted into place all those years ago

Looking towards Kilcatherine Point and the mainland

Fr Greg conducts the Mass

Normally being pounded by Atlantic waves but so peaceful this day

Ruins of the homes where 43 people once lived

When I first landed on the island 40 years ago this is where we landed, my brother and mother
