Station Masses

[Puckoon]

Does anyone still do these? I remember being at one when I was very young, and everyone was all excited about the sandwiches and the cream buns. I know this is the time of year for them, does anyone frequent them or even host them in their house?

Been a while since I was at one, but they have quite regularly. At least around Greencastle anyway.

Oh yeah. Stations are still big enough. Cue mass spring cleaning, Painting of rooms, buying of curtains, 3 calves being killed, four pigs and 6 lambs.

Certain dioceses still have them and others don't as I recall.
Ardagh and Clonmacnoise still do, whereas I never recall them in the Meath diocese.
Some lads only go to them for the soup and sandwiches after.
They were great craic for you young lads.
The hallways and bedrooms were great places for tittering and laughter during the solemn proceedings down in the kitchen!

What do you mean take them? Offer to host? Or get directed to?

[ziggysego]

Host.

I thought this was going to be a thread about over crowding in train stations

[Rossfan]

Still going strong in Ros thankfully.
We do our bit to keep the old ways.
For example we also still have bonfire night on 23rd June. A lot of people from all over the country never even heard of this old Irish custom

Serioulsy? Still a big thing in North Mayo also, but I thought it was quite common, up and down the Western seaboard in particular.
