Spurning a White House visit for trip to Leitrim

Dympna Judge Jessich was supposed to be at the White House on Friday to receive the Medal of Valor awarded posthumously to her twin brother Fr. Mychal Judge. Dympna had gone to Keshcarrigan, Co. Leitrim, her family's ancestral home instead. She was the guest of honor at the opening of the Father Mychal Judge Memorial Peace Park in the town.
