The Stations of the Cross Lavey
Fr Packie McLaughlin CC Lavey at that time asked some local parishioners to make him a set of Stations of the Cross. Parishioners Andy McEldowney and James O'Kane made the stations and adamantly refused any money for their work and materials. Fr McLaughlin created a millennium garden at the back of the parochial house to commemorate the year 2000 ad. He put the stations on posts around the edge of the garden and had a metal entrance gate made with a millennium sign at the top. The gate is still there to this day.
Fr Packie died in 2011. The stations, some of which needed repair, were removed from the garden and were safely stored in an old parochial shed.
Fr Patrick Baker PP Lavey, was asked by a parishioner some years later if it would be possible to place the stations in the 'new' graveyard. The plan was to place them around the graveyard such that you ended up returning to the chapel at the 'womens' door. However they were placed along the side path ending up at the far corner of the graveyard. We are very grateful to Fr Baker PP for recovering and erecting Fr McLaughlin's stations at the chapel.
