International Support for IHCPT Lourdes Project 2017
Úna Buckley and Dervla Murphy with Millstreet Community School Chaplain, John Magee promoting the upcoming fundraising Quiz at the Wallis Arms Hotel on Fri. 3rd March. When Patrick O’Leary of Louisville, Kentucky read about the upcoming event he sent €60.00 to Millstreet Museum to be presented to the two inspiring Students who will be representing their school on the IHCPT Project in Lourdes in April 2017. Such international support by a true gentleman with Adrivale, Millstreet roots is indeed greatly appreciated.

Úna and Dervla will be writing to express thanks to Patrick (who is to revisit Ireland in July 2017).

I am honored to support the student’s trip to Lourdes. It sounds like a trip of a lifetime. My Great Grandfather John Patrick O’Leary was born in Millstreet in 1856. I am very proud of my Irish roots that started in Millstreet. I was not born in Ireland but it is where I am from.
I have visited Millstreet three times and will be back this summer.
