Congratulations to Kilteevan Graveyard Committee for winning the Co. Roscommon Heritage Week Award 2020. The theme for Heritage Week this year was “Heritage and Education”.
We are delighted to read the result in a special Supplement of the Irish Times “Irish Heritage” October 24th 2020.
“The Graveyard committee created three interconnected projects tracing the family history of a teacher who was born in Kilteevan, looking at teachers who taught in parish schools and who are named in Kilteevan graveyard, plus the contribution to the National Folklore Collection 1937-1938 (Irish Times 2020).
It is an appropriate time for all of us to acknowledge and thank Kilteevan Graveyard committee for their extraordinary dedication and commitment and in particular to thank Hazel Ryan who has worked tirelessly for decades to preserve many facets of Kilteevan’s rich history and heritage.
Thank you Hazel and Kilteevan Graveyard Committee.
