  1. Ogula. 20/5/1938
    Ogula is situated about four miles from Kilmurry School. When St. Patrick came to Ireland he came as far as Ogula. He met two princesses called Ethena and Fidelma.
    They were two daughters of the High King of Ireland.
    They asked him to baptise them. He taught them about God and then he baptised them. They died immediately after and went to Heaven.
