Killyleagh, Northern Ireland Every morning after her prayers, and the first of many mugs of Barry s Irish tea, Nancy Stewart decides where to go to Mass.
When the time comes, the 107-year-old and her granddaughter, Louise Coghlan, 37, joke about preparing sandwiches for the journey, and check that they have money to fill their little red car with fuel. In reality they don t leave the kitchen in Clonard, County Meath; Mass comes to them from the screen of a laptop computer set on a pink floral tray table.

A 107-year-old woman who aims to take in Mass from every county in Ireland during lockdown has been contacted by supporters globally.
At 107 years old, Nancy Stewart has already made history as the oldest woman in Ireland still living in her own home.
But now the native of Clonard, Co Meath, is on a mission to attend online masses in each of the 32 counties before moving on to other parishes outside of Ireland.
She is well on her way, after attending virtual masses two or three times a day in 21 counties so far.
News of her spiritual journey has already reached Rome, with an email from the Pontifical Irish College expressing its delight with her faith and inviting her to attend one of its own virtual masses in which she will be given a personal greeting when she tunes in.
