Sincere thanks to the people of the parish for their generous support for the upkeep of the graveyard and particularly during their recent collection.

Marathons4Muireann - Thank You
The organisers of Marathons4Muireann, Declan & Gina O’Flaherty, would like to sincerely thank the people of Drum, Clonown and surrounding areas for their extraordinary generosity during the Marathons4Muireann fundraising campaign. A total of €180,000.00 was raised in four months, which goes directly to three charities caring for severely disabled children and their families. This magnificent achievement would not have been possible without the exceptional support received from many individuals, small businesses and local communities - for that we say thank you.
