- Saint Odraín of Latteragh is the patron Saint of this parish.
He built a famous monastery in Latteragh about the year 500 A.D. on a level space on side of a hill.
Some time later he built another in Kilmore which means the big church, it was made of timber but later on it was made of stone, it is now in ruins.
There was a great miracle performed there by St. Sennon, he brought the son of a woman of that district to life.
The name of Templeorum near Fiddoun, Co. Kilkenny is another form of Teampull Odhrain the church of St Odhran. Several town lands in Co. Tipperary are called Killoran, the Church of Odhran. A pattern in honour of the Saint is held at Holy Well in Latteragh on August 15th.
