A Mother of Sorrows Cemetery Tour will be held on Sunday, October 23, 2022, at 1:30 p.m.
The histories of the early Irish settlers in the Town of Greece and Our Mother of Sorrows Church are inextricably linked. Pioneer families such as the McGuires, Burns, Farnans, Bemish, Read, Whelehans, McSheas, and Slaters are buried in the church’s cemetery.
As one of the special programs marking the town’s bicentennial, volunteers from the Greece Historical Society will conduct a walking tour of the cemetery. Although there will not be a lot of walking, come prepared to walk on uneven ground. The tour will last about an hour and is free and open to the public. We will meet in the church parking lot.
Reservations are not necessary. For more information call 585-225-7221 or email greecehistoricasociety@yahoo.com
