A social media post on the Leitrim Village Community Facebook Page confirmed that Fr. Séamus O'Rourke would celebrate the Mass tonight at 8 p.m.. this evening.

“Things could have turned out so much worse, although the damage was bad enough.

Life is precious. Please spread the word,” said the post.
