Best improved village/town in N. Ireland. Dromore 2000 collected this prestigious award at the “NI Best Kept Awards” this week. The award is for the most improved town or village in NI. But really the award is for all the volunteers and people of Dromore, all those who lifted litter, planted or watered flowers in tubs or window boxes, weeded on the bypass or anywhere in town, who helped in the pollinator garden or volunteered in any way. Great to see so many volunteers and people taking such pride in their town. Well done everyone.A great achievement!

Prayers and best wishes to Martin Kane of Termon Villas, Pettigo, Co. Donegal, as he sets out later this month on the Propaedeutic Year for Priesthood.
