Was this Listowel's first pop up shop? Every Sunday Lofty Kelliher set up outside St. Mary's church after mass and sold newspapers to mass goers.

Alert! Tabloid story coming up
The Royal Wedding has a Listowel Connection
Okay, I told you it was tabloid, so its totally exaggerated and very very tenuous.
This is Andrew Chase who grew up in Windsor. He now lives in Ireland and he is engaged to my niece, Christine.
No, he is not invited to the royal wedding.
But he was confirmed in St. George's Chapel in Windsor.
So what? say you.
This is what. He is one of the only cohort of Catholic children ever to receive Confirmation in St. George's Chapel. The Catholic church in Windsor was under renovation and, in an ecumenical gesture by the Church of England, St. George's chapel was offered to the Catholic congregation for Confirmation.
I warned you it was tenuous!
