There was a special mass held in Killarney this evening to honour the memory of the 11 month old baby who was tragically found dead on Sunday evening.
The little boy Karol Rozycki who tragically passed away at his home an apartment complex in the town was remembered by his family earlier this evening. The special Mass for baby Karol got underway at St Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney at 4.30pm and was performed by Fr Piotr Delimat, a Polish chaplain seconded from the Archdiocese of Kraków serving the Diocese of Kerry.
The mass which paid tribute to little Karol was held without his remains at the church. His full funeral will take place in Poland at a later date. The mass was also performed by Fr Kieran O’Brien who paid tribute to little Karol and said he brightened up his family’s lives in his short 11 months. Fr O’Brien also offered his deepest sympathies to Baby Karol’s mother Anna who was present and said he hoped people’s sympathies would lighten her burden in whatever way possible.
Meanwhile Fr Piotr Delimat said Karol’s death had brought together the Irish and Polish communities in Killarney.
