  1. The Local Saint

    Share Share Post
    St. Messa is the patron Saint of Kilmessan. He had his church at the back of Mr. Donnelly's house in this village. This church was but a small one. It was on high mound. This mound was about fifty feet in height.
    Then Saint Messa had a thatched chapel beside the back of Mrs O'Brien's garden in this village. This church was in use for many years.
