PARISHIONERS at St Mary’s Church, Rathvilly were left upset and disturbed after a burial vault was interfered with in their churchyard.
The door to the vault was forced open during what appeared to be drinking party.
The church rector, Reverend Mairt Hanley, hoped by highlighting the issue that it would deter people from doing anything similar in the future.
“It’s very disturbing for people,” he said. “We have not had trouble with people messing with the graves before and it does not sit well with people. It’s the level of disrespect that was upsetting in the parish. It’s one thing sitting in the graveyard drinking a can; it’s another thing interfering with the grave.”
The vault is the resting place of generations of a local family and is still in use.
The heavy iron gate leading to the steps of the vault was unhinged, while the vault door was forced.
The incident happened on a night in late August and the parish waited until after the door was repaired before highlighting it.
“I think people should have respect for public places and there should be respect for special public places, anything that is a memorial, church or burial ground is a special place,” said Rev Hanley.
“Please do not interfere with the graves, it’s not wise, it’s not respectful and it upsets people,” he added.
Gardaí have been notified and are keeping an eye on the area.
Rev Hanley also felt it was fortunate that no-one was injured, as the gate to the vault was extremely heavy and it would have also taken a great deal of force to break the door.
Rev Hanley did not understand the motive for breaking in.
There are generally few issues with graveyards in the Baltinglass group of parishes, which includes St Mary’s. There are very occasionally instances of people drinking cans, while Rev Hanley added there would be the odd gamer playing the augmented reality game Pokemon Go searching for Pokemon in graveyards.

To some people, nothing is sacred. Get lots of rest and take good care of yourself, Sue. We love your video's, but we can wait a while for you to recover.
Thanks x
Sad reflection of the times we live in.God rest them.Thanku Sue speedy recovery x
That's so true unfortunately 😔
Oh my. So sorry you are all sick. First Gv and now you. Please take care of yourself. We will all be here when you are well
Thanks Aunty, feeling terrible right now
So sad that whoever desecrated the resting places have no respect for the dearly departed. Hope you get to feeling better soon, Sue. Get yourself a lot of rest, fluids and soups. Your health comes first, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Pamela, this has hit me hard, I've had it before, this is the worst
Why would someone throw trash in there. So disrespectful
Sometimes I can't leave my own response, this is one of them. They must of gone there knowing what they were going to do,bc that door is made of iron, you would need some serious tools, how terrible, sorry to hear your I'll, loralee
So terrible disrespectful to trash a Church Graveyard and Vaults, very Sad to see 😔
The same way they trashed Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans. It was so bad, they closed it off to visitors to clean it up. Homeless people would spend the night there and they defaced tombs and left trash all over the place. The cemetery is a historic tourist draw for the city.
Thank you Sue. What a beautiful place. As for drunken people. Why would they do something like that. Just glad we were not brought up like that. My best to you both. Love 💘 from Africa 🌍 XXxX 💝 xxx xxx 🎈🐘.
Thanks Lora Lee
Keep healing, Sue. You don’t have to do anything for us, just rest!!❤
✌🏼💜
Thanks x
There is NO excuse that can justify violating the last testing place of a family. I am sorry for the relatives of this family for the hurt that I am sure they feel at such desecration.
After the revulsion that I felt for such an act it was heartwarming to see the gravestone that was erected to the servant of a family in gratitude for their years of devotion. This is another GLORIOUS church. Thank you for the video.
I absolutely love finding the headstones like this where a servant was remembered for their hard work
Astonishing walk today Sue! The grass looks like velvet. So green. The stones are so pretty. Perfect time of day. The shadows are so defined. Thank you!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much
Great video,sad to see such disrespect in a place of rest,wished we might have seen inside the church too ,hope you all feel better in the next day or two, keep warm, with hot drinks and rest,!
Thanks so much ❤️
Drinking in a graveyard is so wrong disrespectful of the dearly departed ones. God Bless thank you for sharing this video. 🙏❤️
You are so welcome
I agree with you Sue about the desecration of that vault it's something I will never understand sadly this happens in England too It's probably teens but why? I dread to think how they are being brought up!. I am sorry you have both been ill I haven't been on top form myself. I now know why a lot of churches are closed up during the day it beggars belief they should have to do. Anyway, take care both of you sending healing hugs Sue 🙏🙏💜💜💜💜
Yes Jules, it's absolutely terrible 😢
Great footage sue I wonder if there are stairs under that slab separate from the tomb under the church it's strange 🤔 people breaking in to a vault should carry a 30 year prison sentence and they should be made to repair the damage at there own cost
It's terrible Dwaine
I thought that the U.S. was the only place who had rude destructive people, I guess they are everywhere, and it’s too bad because they have no respect for history or other peoples property or anything sacred. Thank you Sue for your beautiful videos ❤
Thank you, yes unfortunately it happens everywhere
Lots of bones. Gracious!!
Thanks x
Sue& GV you keep me company at night when i cant sleep,bless you both 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Our pleasure Ann 🙏
Be well Sue! I love your videos! It shows the similarity of your old and ancient graves are the same as any other I have seen around the world! People honor and love their relatives who have passed, in most cases, and they treat the remains with respect.
The under stairs is a crypt, and the hole broke open over the years, but it looks like ignorant morons were using the hole as a trash receptacle for their empty bottles and cans. And they probably didn't know there were remains under the stairs.
Not a fitting place to party, but some people have started sleeping in such areas, due to the lack of money for shelter and drugs/alcohol...
It is bad enough when they are ignorant of their actions, but to deliberately try to open and desecrate the remains, disgusting...
Hey Sue! in some of the tombs, the entry way is covered in soil to prevent easy access. In other tombs, there is a special slab that can be moved to give access into the inside. I love those where it is just a solitary monument with the names on it, yet you see no burial or other headstones, as the remains are in a room under the monument, and the entrance is covered in soil, preventing unauthorized access.
Thanks so much Jeffrey
Sue, thank you for a fascinating video. The "crypt under the stairs" is verry peculiar. Hope you get well soon. ❤
Thank you!
I am sorry to hear about your family being sick. I wish you and your family a speedy recovery.
Beautiful church and graveyard.
The desecration is disgusting 🫣
I do not know what people are thinking about these days. Thank you very much Sue and GV for a fine video. Get better soon. 😊
Thanks Michael
@@SerenitySueGraveyards You are very much welcome! Thank you very much for getting back to me.
I watched the replay. I have never seen so much evil in the world. Graves are sacred. I will give you update and hope to be back in lives soon.
Thanks Susan x x
Shame on you people who broke into that vault 😠😤 Absolutely beautiful church 😘
Beautiful church and graveyard. Disgusting behavior breaking into a tomb. I hope they were caught.
Thanks Don, heartbreaking 💔
200 plus years of history surrounded by modern homes. Great video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
The devil is at his work. Thank God there are still respective people around.
So upsetting to see human bones next to rubbish, these people were loved, they were somebodies baby once. Total idiots to desecrate this, their final resting place. Well done Sue xxx
Very sad 😔
Some people have no shame all they care about is their drinking and getting drunk.
Destroying beautiful stain glass how disgusting they obviously have no respect for anything or anyone.
Always great videos Sue.
Greetings from Connecticut USA 🇺🇸
Thank you
These young lads vandalising cemeteries and graveyards should be made do community service and be made do a course that will educate them in history, ancestry etc.
Hi Sue, I agree with you 100 percent. Unconscionable act to disrespect the dead by drinking in the cemetery among other actions of disrespect.
Yes, it's terrible, I'll never understand it
There is little respect for anything anymore. It’s so sad. I daresay if had been someone who vandalized
their families vault, a ruckus would have been made. Shame on them…
I don't know what is wrong with people anymore, the world has changed, Evil is on this earth
I think the bones belong to those who were interred under that big slab in front of the gate Sue! There may be a crypt in that spot, ending under the stairs. Drunk or sober, there is no excuse for what happened here. I hope karma catches up with the culprits. Thanks for a lovely, crisp walk around the old stones. Look after yourself my friend, Deb of Oz XXX.
Thanks Deb, that's what I thought too
I'm not a religious person but I've always been fascinated by graveyards and old churches, they have such peaceful and restorative air about them. Why people would desecrate such places of peace is beyond me. As the old poem say's "As you are now, so was I " I think some people can't make the connection between bones and the human being it once was. Beautiful video 😊
Thank you ❤️
Such disrespect is, indeed, appalling! I can't understand the want to party and drink in such a sacred place. When I worked in funeral service, we had our outdoor mausoleums broken into, with a total of 23 caskets disturbed. All done to steal jewelry and valuables. Absolutely awful!
Oh my God, that is awful 😖
Very disturbing. And sad. Thank you for showing us such a beautiful place, though. Incredible how old those graves are.
Glad you enjoyed ❤️❤️
Hope you feel better soon my husband is also sick besides the cancer and some people don't care about the living or the dead especially when drinking and or drugs. Take time to yourself everyone can respect that.
I'm sorry to hear that Cathy ❤️❤️
It's so hard to understand how anyone could show so much disrespect for those who have gone before.
I don't get it, why do it at all
Hi Sue and GV great visit to our ancestors here. Lichen can be removed with a bleach/ vinegar solution and it is environmentally friendly, versus using trisodium phosphate which is not .
Thanks for the tip! ❤️
So sad that anyone would do such a disrespectful and awful thing to someone final resting place
May the spirits rest in peace
God bless ❤
Thanks
Beautiful carlow I love the area I have family in bagenalstown😍
I know that area well
It is a beautiful cemetery....you work so hard to make such great videos....and all appreciate the miles you walk....❤❤😊😊
Thank you very much!
Sue, feel better! Take care of yourself. The holidays are right around the corner!!! ❤ 🤧
Don't think I've ever felt this sick, it's the 3rd time I have had this and by far the worst
Well sue we need you healthy to keep up all this great experiences you give us.
Thank you ❤️
Very peaceful and gorgeous location. Fantastic tour! As far as the rubbish goes, it happens everywhere unfortunately.
It does unfortunately. Terrible to see
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Words fail me😢 great video👍👍👍
Thanks miss Marple
Vandalism in
graveyards becomes very bad. In South Africa you can't even visit your families Graves anymore because they would rob everything you have with you even your car. They vandalise the Graves. They also party in the graveyards. It's so heartbreaking 💔 😢 😞 😪 😔
Oh my God, how terrible 😢
Very Beautiful church! Very sad, that scum would want to destroy something so beautiful and innocent as a very old church. When I see an old church like that, I can not help but to think of all the lives and memories that have passed inside those walls, along with amazing history. Nice video, enjoyable, very cool to see the upkeep is so well.
So true Chubba, it makes my heart sink 💔
Today some people have no respect for the living let alone the dead. A truly vile and despicable act.
I agree, I don't know what's wrong with society now a days, they have no love for others dead or alive
This seems to occur everywhere. I don't know if these violators are showing their false bravado in disturbing remains, or they're just plain mean and disrespectful. Where I live there are very strict laws regarding desecration. Damage to grave sites or monuments exceeding $1000 American dollars is considered a felony. The problem is catching them. I think they should have to do hard labor in the cemetery cleaning up grass or any other form of supervised repair or cleanup.
I agree too, let them get into those abandoned graveyards and clear them up
How can people be so disrespectful.. Shame on you,whoever you are.😤😡
I agree, shame on them
Hi sue! I’m in the back grounds I don’t get on when your live. I watch all your videos and love them all.
Oh thank you so much 💓
So sad how disrespectful some humans have become 😢😢Thankyou Sue for your beautiful and caring videos 💖💖💐💐🏆
Thanks Daphne x x
@@SerenitySueGraveyards 💖💖
Thank you for another great video, though sad to see ths vile behaviour., may God forgive their souls
Terrible what people do, thank you ❤️
Hope your feeling better real soon sue ♥️🙏🙏
Thanks x
Beautiful church. Disrespectful people. So sad. Hope you feel better ❤️🩹 and you guys are out in the cold. Praying for healing 🙏🙏👣👣🙌🙌❤️🥰
Thank you ❤️
Heartbreaking! 💔
💔
Beautiful cemetery but the vandalism! How awful. I hope they get caught, if they haven't already. Take care of yourselves.
Thanks toms
Great video Sue!
IMO breaking into a vault and disrespecting the dead is absolutely disgraceful and should be a crime (if it isn't already).
I agree, hope they got caught
Just read that you all are not well,thinking of you all ,best wishes for recovery to good health,🙏🙏🙏👍🇦🇺
Thanks so much
The new generation only think of themselves in an country it's a sad world we are in know thankyou sue Darren in Australia again
Unfortunately that's true
I found something I can't explain...I thought you made a video about GV lol😆jk my friends...great video Sue........stay safe and get better soon!
Thanks, you too!
Love the video so nice there as well church so big
Thanks Kylie ❤️
Well sue hope you're well and in good form today i know that place well as i worked around there years ago
Greetings from Poteet Texas
Hey Gary ❤️
I'm sorry you were subjected to this...
Thanks ❤️
Drinking and trashing graveyards and the like is completely disrespectful. It looked like that area under the gate with the cans and bottles in it is being used as a trash can. Would be kind of fun to have someone down there waiting and when one of those punks go to put something down there just grab them. There is a trick-or-treat bowl that grabs at the hands of the little goblins, maybe a set up like that would work. Thanks for another interesting vid.
That would definitely work !!
Beautiful place🐏❤️ Maybe that stone slab was the door to the crypt under the stairs and the black door is another one. That kind of stuff makes me so mad🤬 Hope they like it hot where they are going🥵👺☠️👺🥵 Hope you all get rest and better soon❤️🙏❤️
Thanks Brenda, feel rotten here now
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I slept a lot. Drink water and eat if you can. ❤️🙏❤️
It is hard to believe that people these days think nothing of ruining sacred ground or disturbing the dead. What has happened to young people that they think nothing is off limits. I was raised a certain way and it would have never occurred to me to do something so disgusting. I don't want to go about blaming certain people but something is very wrong here. But it is everywhere, just a total lack of morals.
I agree Janet, respect starts at home, if it's not thought at home, they will grow up not caring for anything or anyone
Ugh! So disrespectful!! Get better Sue!
Thanks x
So sad to see such disrespect. Take it easy and rest ! Your health is more important. There will be plenty of time to do more videos .
Thanks Denise ❤️
😡🤬 on those who did this. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks Sonny
Sue, so sad this is seen so much in so many places. I'll never understand why these hobo people do and create so much ugliness and disrespect in sacred places. Take care. Getting caught up on videos been out of commission in hospital again.
Thanks Pippa, I hope you're OK ❤️
How terribly sad that people do not have the respect that used to be in earlier years. To desecrate the final resting places of these people, drink or nit, is inexcusable on every level. I hope you let someone know about those bones so they could be respectfully taken taken care of. 🙏💔😓💔🙏
Yes very sad, oh I'm sure they know but nothing will be done, I've seen it many times
@@SerenitySueGraveyards ~ That’s awful.
Hope u and GV get well soon❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks Tina
Disgusting and disrespectful. I don’t even like walking on graves let alone desiccating them
Me either, it's how I was brought up, occasionally I have stepped on a grave, accidentally and I apologise to them, it feels so wrong, how anyone goes in to a family grave and purposely destroys without feeling its wrong to do so, are just terrible
Sad😢
Very sad
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting great information super kool,
AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ ,keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoyed it
😢😢😢Wow, I could find better places to hang out with friends at night. So disrespectful 😒 😑.
Me too Joel, I was always too afraid to even walk through a graveyard when younger
If you disturb the rest of the dead ...
you will find no rest in your own death
That's true
Oddball question.. The Kennedy's would they be related to the president in the United States that was assassinated? If so I wonder why family wouldn't go and take care of the burial? Me personally I'd love to have my burial area fixed and taken care of.
I'm not sure, I know we have ancestors here in Wexford and I believe limerick, so not sure if these are related
In America we have people who go into cemeteries and clean stones. They go from barely readable to looking almost brand new. Do you not have people who that that, in Ireland? I would love to see some of those stones restored. ✌️❤️✌️
We are not allowed to touch graves unless we get permission
@@SerenitySueGraveyards ~ I’m pretty sure it’s that way here, too. I’ve seen them remove a sinking headstone, pour new cement and straighten it up. I guess I just wish e dry stone was taken care of.
Aww, Hope that You’re Feeling Much Better tomorrow,… @Serenity Sue 🙏🏽🤒 😊
Get some rest, and Let Cathal take care of you! 😉 😂
You’re sadly right,😅 tho, there’s NO Respect lately,… for the dead, (or for the living),
anymore.
Happens Here in the U.S., as well. 😔 Lately, Too Many graves have been vandalized, especially by antisemitic Sickos.
Knocking over headstones, and spray painting Disgusting words that unfortunately, and disgustingly, have been heard & spoken.
Even on Jewish WWII Veteran’s graves 🤬
is especially a problem.
Thing is,… these “Little Sh*t kids,” or whomever,… Don’t even know WHY they’re freaking doing it,…. But they learned, didn’t they?!
🫣😢🤷🏻♀️✌🏽

Thank you and I agree, if its not learned in your home to respect, they will never know the difference
Dang that is really sad. Why would people want to drink in a graveyard. I mean how horrible that they would destroy a grave cause they were stupid drunk. If they evee knew who didnit, should have do communication service at church and graveyard.
It's terrible Becki
Young kids that can’t get into clubs, I’m betting. Just horrible.
It's terrible
That is strange---a grave under the steps.
It is a little strange alright which make me believe they are the same family
La iglesia es preciosa, esa tumba de los Kennedy son los antepasados del presidente de Estados Unidos? Una pena de huesos que parece que están en un basurero 😢😢 . Un fuerte abrazo para mis queridos amigos irlandeses
We have found a few different mausoleums of Kennedys not sure if they are related
It wouldn't take much to funnel p gravel into that void. After the garbage is fished out. Looks like the water washed out the earth under the steps. Then the contents of the grave under the stone got dumped into the hole. They are gonna have to bag for it one day or the stairs could collapse. Yet again maintenance and money. Makes one wonder where all the maintenance funds that were collected went. If you look into it in the past. I was also thinking there was a scrap market for some led coffins. I remember they were stealing the lead off roofs. If it's nasty some human being has done it.
Unfortunately John, this happens, some humans are just terrible
What are you doing out Sue go back to bed lol. Get some rest ❤
This was filmed last week x x
@@SerenitySueGraveyards ok. Well get back to bed anyway 🤣
Yes sad for people who have nothing to do than go to a graveyard and mess around. Yes Sue if you want to drink, drink in a pub or at home even but not there. It was a beautiful day for a walk., but was still pretty cold? Here in arizona we have 50s at night now and 70s in the day, i mean Phoenix.Northern Arizona with the grand canyon has 4 seasons. Glad i dont live there.
Thanks Sally ❤️
How awful. I noticed in video how close some houses were to vault that they broke into. Strange how nobody heard anything. Im sure it was in the middle of the night and they would of had to made alot of noise to break in.😡
Awful to see trash in there.
Karma will get them i guess.☠️💀☠️💀☠️
Get well soon.💚
Exactly Abigail, I don't know how they did this knowing the houses were just there
That's crazy no rest even in death 😢
Not even in death are we promised peace, at least that's how I feel
To go along with my previous post...when they catch these despicable vandals...part of their giving back to society...jail time? Fines? And community service cleaning gravestones while being supervised
Yes, I'd prefer to see community service being used to clear the old graveyards, I actually think they'd gain from it and maybe make better choices going forward
Yes, perhaps they can gain some appreciation and respect while working hard in the cemeteries...at least we can hope ❤
Horrible.
Shame on them why would they do something like that I just don't understand it really don't it is so sad they have got no respect for the dead it is shocking take care both of you and for sharing this 👍
Thanks ❤️
Sadly it seems the cemeteries might need to consider closed circuit cameras all around the old church structures pointing out. It seems this vandalism is not that unusual. These disrespectful people should be held responsible ..somehow.
I feel sad and angry at their total disregard for these people who have passed before...just reprehensible.
Yes, I agree
🇱🇷❤☘️ feel better
Thanks x
How disrespectful! Karma will get them! Old cemetery in good condition and interesting . Thanks!Feel better. Rest💕.
Yes I agree Liz
That is so disrespectful when they do that
How sad so disrespectful 😢
Seen it so many times before, just terrible
Their ghouls!
❤️💙
I think the dead should be undisturbed whether the graves are new or thousands of years old.
Absolutely 💯
Sommeone needs to clear& fill the hole up
I agree
