A dip into the archive – St John/Corpus Christi Parish Bulletin
St John’s parish bulletin, later to include Corpus Christi was published between July 1970 to June 1974 and was a great insight into what was going on during that time, including the building of the new church Corpus Christi, the arrival of the new youth worker for the Ballymurphy Tenants Association, Paddy McCarthy, later murdered by the para’s in the Ballymurphy Massacre and various sporting events.
It also included an article “Young Dopes” by Fr Noel Fitzpatrick who was murdered in the Springhill Massacre in July 1972, as relevant today as it was then.
