St Joseph's GAA Club Celebrates 125 years

St. Joseph’s GAA Club is holding a function on Monday 29th December 2014 to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the founding of the club. The event will be held in the Community Centre in Kilteevan.

The evening will commence with Mass at 7.30pm in St Joseph’s Church followed by a meal, various presentations and some music to round of a night of great celebration. Some great work has been done on the history of the club since its inception in 1889 and this will be available to see on the night. As with most clubs St Joseph’s went through a number of difficult years and had lapsed on a number of occasions mainly due to emigration.

However, in 1979 the club was reformed again by a number of visionary people who worked tirelessly to have a GAA club at the heart of our community. The Club intends to honour the initial reforming members or members of their families with a suitable presentation on the night.

We wish St Joseph’s Club every success with this very significant event.
