Ahead of Thursday evening's meeting in Caragh Church Meeting Room (8pm), we dropped in to Kfm Radio Kildare this morning (see link below).

We discussed our new project and how we'd love to get as much first hand information on the building of Our Lady & St. Joseph, Caragh in the late 1950's / 1960 including the various fundraising drives which were held.
